As a Saurian, Reptile remains mostly human in appearance. Reptile appears to take abilities from several reptilian creatures. By the time of MKII, he is given his own powers (albeit they shared slight similarity to Sub-Zero's). In MKX, he was given a two-piece mask that allows him to open his mouth and spit acid without taking it off.Ĭombat Characteristics Edit Powers and abilities Edit Īt his debut, Reptile's powers were borrowed from the cryomancer descendant, Sub-Zero, and the hellfire specter, Scorpion. In MK 2011, he has another reptile like design. In Armageddon, he re-uses his Deadly Alliance and Shaolin Monks design. In Deception, Reptile appears in his human guise in Konquest and Sindel's ending however, this is possibly an oversight. In Deadly Alliance, he is in his most animalistic form yet. In MK4, he is a reptile and human hybrid.
In MK- MKT, he appeared in a human guise (this form is available in Shaolin Monks if he is selected by both players in versus mode). In each Mortal Kombat game that Reptile appears in, his design changes. Unlike the others of his kind, who were forced into slavery, Reptile was trained to be a servant of both Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung.īecause of this, it is unclear exactly what Reptile's place of birth is - although Earthrealm, Zaterra, or Outworld are the three likely choices. Among those, or among those descended from these survivors, was Reptile. As was the usual process for Kahn conquering another world, most of the Zaterrans were killed in the ensuing battles, only leaving a handful of people left. Reptile's race of raptors, or Saurians, escaped to another realm, Zaterra, where it was then invaded and annexed by Outworld's emperor, Shao Kahn. What is known, however, is that the Earthrealm was nearly destroyed by a battle between the gods millions of years ago. Estimates run in the tens of thousands of years or even millions. It is not quite clear how old Reptile is. Reptile returned for the second tournament with his own special moves, available from the outset. While he wasn't given a lot of character depth at the time, he was worked on before the release of Mortal Kombat II. They christened this character "Reptile" due to his green color and their reference to lizards. Mortal Kombat co-creators John Tobias and Ed Boon admitted in an interview that the "birth" of Reptile was when they took Sub-Zero and Scorpion and fused the two into one and colored him green (yellow + blue = green). He was a merge between the original Sub-Zero and Scorpion characters, capable of using both of their moves. This concept was repeated with Smoke and Jade in Mortal Kombat II and Khameleon in Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Once in a while he will say "I am Reptile, find me!".

Above his head would be clues on how to find him, such as "Look to la luna" ("the moon" in Spanish or Italian and hinting The Pit stage), "Alone is how to find me" (denoting that he is only unlockable in single player mode), "Perfection is the key" (directing towards the double Flawless victory), or "Tip eht fo mottob" ("Bottom of The Pit" spelled backward). Before battles with an opponent he would make his appearance and jump in the middle of the screen in a Sub-Zero win pose.
Reptile was hidden in the original Mortal Kombat and thus holds the distinction of being the very first secret character to appear in a versus fighting game. While well-meaning and sincere, his obsession is so important to him that it causes him temporary fits of insanity. Thus, he always remains loyal to Shao Kahn, only obeying other masters to survive and reach his goal of returning Zaterra to its former glory. He is caught in a delusional state of mind, obsessed with finding the last remaining member of his race, or freeing his homeworld of Zaterra from Outworld's grasp. Unlike many other henchmen, Reptile does not strive for power. Said to be physically hideous and repulsive, he is renowned for his great stealth and unquestioning loyalty. Reptile is a green garbed, humanoid reptilian creature that embodies the archetype of the unhappy underling.
