Curly

Curly is an enemy in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. She is a demon who uses all four of her arms to smash things.

Origins[]

Kālī is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment, or shakti. She is the fierce aspect of the goddess Durga. Her name comes from kāla, which means "black", "time", "death", "lord of death": Shiva. Since Shiva is called Kāla, "the eternal time", the name of Kālī, his consort, also means "time" or "death" (as in "time has come"). Hence, Kāli is the goddess of time, change, power and destruction.

Although sometimes presented as dark and violent, her earliest incarnation as a figure of annihilation of evil forces still has some influence. Various Shākta Hindu cosmologies, as well as Shākta tantric beliefs, worship her as the ultimate reality or "Brahman". Comparatively, recent devotional movements largely conceive Kāli as a benevolent mother goddess. She is often portrayed standing or dancing on her husband, the god Shiva, who lies prostrate beneath her.

Description[]

A stronger version of Durga. Curly advances a short distance and stops to stab rapidly with her swords. Her soul grants Soma the Curly Form ability, which transforms him into a gigantic version of Curly that rushes forward, slashing and destroying anything on her path. It is one of the souls that can allow access past the waterfall in the Underground Reservoir to enter the Forbidden Area.

Trivia[]

The name "Curly" is a mistranslation of Kali, the Hindu goddess of empowerment. She appears correctly named in the Japanese version of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.
