Charybdis 「暴風大妖渦, karyubudisu, lit. "Storm Great Mystic Vortex"」 is a gigantic one-eyed mindless blood-thirsty calamity-class Monster, heralded as the Ruler of the Skies. Born from a cloud of Veldora's Magicules, she can be said to be part of Veldora's "family", similar to Rimuru as she is also called to be Veldora's child. As she has no solid sense of self, she operates solely to satisfy her lust for destruction.
Appearance[]
Charybdis had the appearance of a massive shark-like dragon over 50 meters in length with a singular ominous eye. She had thick dragon scales covering her entire body in addition to wings and horns, with a prominent tail and dorsal fin giving her a fish-like atmosphere. Though she had clawed limbs they were frail and appeared almost as decorations rather than having any sort of practical use.[2]
The anime took several liberties with her design, taking more inspiration from the mythological Charybdis and overall increasing her size. In this depiction she has extremely large and straight wings reminiscent of an airplane, as well as a large open mouth filled with teeth on her rear end in reference to the mythological monster's ability to swallow large amounts of water and create whirlpools. She also had small stubbly legs that served no purpose.
Background[]
Born from the malice and violence of Humans, and a cloud of Veldora’s Magicules, Charybdis entered a cycle of spreading widespread destruction and death to whatever caught her interest, before being subdued and killed, and eventually resurrecting a few centuries later. Seeking to end the cycle, a Chosen hero sealed Charybdis away inside a dimensional seal hidden in a cave somewhere in the Jura Forest, whose location being only known to the Hero and the Dryads.
Trivia[]
- Her name comes from a sea monster in Greek and Italian myth, Charybdis.
- Charybdis in all technicalities can be considered as something akin to a sister to Rimuru Tempest, as they were both born of Veldora's Magicules.
- In the English translations for the Light novel, Manga, Anime, and ISEKAI Memories Charybids was referred to with male or "it" pronouns.
- In That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Chronicles Charybdis possesses roars in form of grunts and laughs when attacking the player in some of the stages featuring Charybdis.
