Kali is monster #19 from Series 1 and monster #16 from the 2006 Series.
Series 1[]
Kali is depicted as a monstrous four-armed woman with fangs. Controversy surrounded this monster in the United Kingdom, with many decrying the use of a Hindu deity as a "monster". This led Kali being recalled by Morrison Entertainment Group, making her one of the more uncommon monsters in the series.
Official Biography[]
Species: Humanoid
Born: Unknown
Size: 7 Feet Tall
Habitat: The Jungles of India
This humanoid hag from India is really just an ugly mother who loves her children - loves them to death, that is! After working up an appetite performing her famous "Dance of Death" she heads home to eat her children, or anyone else she can strangle with her iron hook. This "bad luck beauty" has dark skin which she sheds like a snake, and red hands on each of her four arms. Kali wears a necklace of human teeth and a belt made from shrunken blood-stained hands. Fortunately her taste in jewelry has yet to catch on!"
2006 Series[]
Kali, now renamed as 6-Armed Sorceress (to avoid controversy) is a monster in the class "The Ancients." She is monster #16. Despite the name change and the extra set of arms, this female warrior has clearly been inspired by Kali with her blue skin and Hindu outfit. Her trading card points are worth 201. Her background photo is the Taj Mahal.
Official Card Biography[]
This exotic-looking, 7 foot tall female warrior is known for both her creative and destructive powers. She has six arms, which make her terrific at multi-tasking, but you wouldn't want to run into her in a dark alley at night.

Comic Book Series (1991)[]
Kali is one of the many monsters on Monster Mountain in the first issue, attending the Assembly of Monsters held by Vampire and Warlock. Although she is never seen in the series again, it is likely she joined forces with Warlock.
Video Game (1992)[]
Kali appears at the end of Stage 4, Area 1, guarding the platforms to jump to the area exit. She will periodically throw a grappling hook, and takes three hits to down.
Her entry in the instructions manual reads: "When she reaches the end of her rope, you'll get the hook."
Origin[]
Kali is the Hindu goddess of time, doomsday and death. She first appeared from the body of sleeping Vishnu to wake him to protect Brahma and the world from two demons, Madhu and Kaitabha. After a long battle, Kali manages to enchant the two demons long enough for Vishnu to kill them.
In Kali's most famous story, she fought against the demon Raktabija, who replicates himself with his own blood. She consumed the demon and his duplicates and danced upon the bodies of the slain.
