Malachi is actually the name assigned to the monster better known as Cthulhu, but due to a botch up in the English team, the name of Malachi has been given to the monster Cthulhu and vice versa.

[edit] Overview
Malachi is based on the Lovecraftian entity Cthulu, a towering, dragon like creature with a tentacled visage, known to cause madness at a glance and capable of acts of massive destruction. Cthulu is a member of 'the Great Old Ones', a race of mighty cosmic entities trapped for unknown reasons.
In the Castlevania series Malachi draws from its origin quite extensively, with an appearance similar to its literary counterpart; being more anthropomorphic but with a characteristic tentacled head, complete with a squid-like beak. Its distinguishing attack, 'Nightmare' also seems to be adapted from the source material.
[edit] Game-Specific Information
The Malachi seems to be wearing a belt buckle, albeit without pants or a belt. It can be seen when they lean back to preform a slash attack. A Malachi also makes an appearance in Dawn of Sorrow's opening cinematic. His attacks include slashing and creating a skull seal in-front of him which appears to shoot a slowly rolling ball of fungus and mold.
