Mortal Kombat Races
The Centaurs is another race that inhabits the Outworld. They have grown to
become bitter enemies with the Shokan people for land. During the invasion of
Earthrealm Shao Kahn leaned more to favoring the Centaurs instead of the Shokan
since the shokan had failed him during the last Mortal Kombat tournament and
the Outworld tournament. The Centaurs were more than happy to be assisted by
Shao Kahn in a war against the Shokan in exchange for their services in
extermination squads.
