Cala Maria

Cala Maria is one of the bosses on Inkwell Isle Three on the boss level, "High Seas Hi-Jinx!" in the Videogame Cuphead.

While a boss in the game, Cala Maria is not evil, she is just trying to protect her soul and is more an antagonist heroine than a real threat.

Appearance
Cala Maria is a giant, lavender-skinned mermaid with a (presumably) deceased purple octopus on her head, acting as a 'hair'. She wears a blue seashell bra, has pale aqua eyes, sea-green eyeshadow, and has two scars on the upper part of her left arm.

In her second phase, however, Cala Maria takes the form of a gorgon mermaid, with the octopus tentacles on her 'hair' turning into snakes, her eyes becoming yellow and cat-like, her teeth becoming razor sharp, her tongue turning fork-like, and her skin turning a shade of light green. The seashell bra she once wore is now made of seaweed or possibly grass.

Personality
Cala Maria seems to be a flirty and vivacious being who seems to have some type of interest in Cuphead and Mugman, as seen in her intro where she makes a sweet "yoo-hoo!" sound while fluttering her eyelashes, and in the ending sequence in which she is staring at the brothers. Her first phase death message only helps prove this. Cala also seems to have a strong connection with fish and aquatic animals, for she can summon them at will to help her, and also use them as weapons without the fish caring much.
