There is nothing called Ugra or Soumya Murtis. Maa Kali is perceived by the Tamil Nadu Brahmins as Ugra Murti where as in Bengal she is loved as Mother Goddess. Gods/Goddessses do not have Gunas. We are trying to classify gods as per our rules. Devi is called Trigunathmikayai. God/Goddesses are above Gunas. Kali Is Brahman. Brahman does not have Gunas.

Soumyasoumya tharasesha soumbyavadhi sundari
Para paranam pararma tmeva parameswari

Devi Mahatmyam

There is a book by Bharadwaja Swamiji in Tamil called Ananda Rupini Kali. Anandamayi, Karunamayi. The Ugra is in the eyes of the beholder.

Lord Narasimha does not look Ugra to me.
