Daruma

Daruma takes her form from a traditional daruma doll, which Professor Tomoe fed into his Daimon Oven to bring the monster to life. That rounded, doll-based origin gives her a squat build and a signature oversized paintbrush that doubles as a weapon.

Professor Tomoe produced Daruma specifically to assist Eudial in tearing a Pure Heart Crystal from a chosen victim, and she debuts in the sixteenth installment of Sailor Moon S. Eudial brought the Daimon along while targeting the training master of Makoto Kino, and unleashed her against the Sailor Guardians the moment they moved to interfere.

Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune recovered and returned the stolen crystal to its owner, leaving Daruma to keep fighting. She managed to snare every Guardian in a trap, though the team tore loose. When Sailor Moon lined up a finishing blow, the Daimon batted the Spiral Heart Moon Rod from her grip. Recalling counsel her master had shared earlier, Makoto stepped in as Sailor Jupiter and let loose a charged Sparkling Wide Pressure that reduced Daruma to nothing.

Daruma fires beams from her eyes and flings disc-shaped projectiles that emerge from her midsection. She can coil a whip of pure darkness around a target to bind it, and her giant paintbrush serves as both a shield and a launcher for volleys of needles.
