## Lore

Caligura's cruel ways and his ghoulish appearance earned him the nickname "Count Dragul" among his peers. His reputation as a mobster is influent enough for other contestants to know who he is: journalist Karin recognizes him from the train and a possible altercation that he has with Henryk implies that the chef either heard of Caligura or actually ran into him before.

Within the festival, he is one of the select few participants who will actively engage in killing the other contestants. Levi and Henryk will meet their end at his hands unless player intervention takes place; Abella and Marcoh will also be his targets if chosen as protagonists. Karin also mentions an encounter with the mobster, but she manages to safely evade him.

## Location

Caligura can be first encountered inside the train that transports the Termina contestants to Prehevil. After the player meets the other contestants, Caligura will be sitting at the couch one chooses to immediately go back inside the train before venturing forth. If interacted with multiple times, he will rudely leave the cabin after pushing both the main character and Marina, who is also inside. It is not advised to fight him here as he hasn't showed his true colors yet, and as a consequence the other contestants will restrain the player character until Day 3.

If the chosen main character is Abella and the player decides to rest on the bed in the Mayor's Manor, Caligura will attempt to rape her, leading to a battle to the death. He can also appear if you rest in the manor as Marcoh, but it is random chance on sleep and the player can talk his way out of battle through some dialogue options. He can also show up in the bookstore while trying to sleep as Marcoh.

By Day 2, he will have altercations with Levi (if he is not recruited during Day 1) during the morning at the west side of Prehevil (in a small alley to the right of a dilapidated house) and Henryk (if he did not turn into the Gentleman and was not reallocated from the train to another functioning kitchen) by the Lake during the evening. These altercations take place even if the player character is not present to witness them, and both of them will always fall victim to Caligura unless the player intervenes and kills the mobster in-battle.

If not dealt with before the night of Day 2, Caligura will have been turned into the **Monster** due to Moonscorch. He can be found in the central Sewers inside the water, and if one approaches, he will attack on sight.

## Moonscorched

Similar to his human counterpart, Caligura turns into a massive ballsack with limbs supporting it when moonscorched. In battle he will spray the entire party with acid giving the poison status effect. His other form of attack is much more dangerous with his multiple arms and legs attacking at once, dealing a significant amount of damage to one person. This can be mitigated by cutting off his limbs first as it lessens the amount of times he attacks in one sweep with his limbs.

## Strategy

As a human, Caligura wields a pipe on his right arm. His attack at every single turn will be *Pipe smash*, which besides dealing damage, can also stun his target. Removing his right arm will make Caligura attack with *Tackle* instead, a less-damaging move that deals no status effects. Attacking him when he tries to abuse Abella will lead him to fight without his pants, letting the player also target his penis.

Looting his body will grant the player his Rusty pipe, a Meatpie, his Kashmir suit and an Egg.

## Trivia

* Caligura's name comes from the Roman Emperor Caligula. The name itself means 'little soldier's boot' in reference to the *caligae* worn by the Roman legionaries. Caligula was said to hate this nickname.
	+ Roman sources seem to indicate that Caligula was a monster in his later years of being Roman Emperor, known for his sadism, cruelty, extravagance, and sexual perversion (though these sources are questionable).
		- Caligura is similar to Caligula in that he is easily angered and known to be cruel, as he later on tried to kill Levi or Henryk, he wears an extravagant suit, and he attempted to force himself on Abella.
* His moonscorched form cannot be beheaded, because "The creature has no distinct head to saw off."
* Early designs for Caligura show a resemblance to the artist Marilyn Manson, wearing his iconic makeup.
