Maa Durgas 9th form is Siddhi Dhatri. She gives all sorts of siddhi to her devotees.  There are several types of Siddhis mentioned in various Purans. According to Devi Puran, Lord  Shiva attained all the Siddhi by her blessings. His half body assumed the form of  Goddess. So he is also called Ardha Narishwar.

Maa Siddhi Dhatri has four hands. Her vehicle is Lion. She sits on a lotus flower. She has a Chakra in her lower right hand, a mace/club in her upper right hand, a conch in her lower left hand and a lotus flower in her upper left hand.
