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.
The Chaos people are the people from the Chaosrealm. In a way they hold total
freedom to be more supreme than laws to restrict them. Their realm obeys no
laws, whether it is laws of man or laws of nature.
Cyborgs are men who are automated and has theirs souls taken from them. Cyborgs
were made by the latest Lin Kuei technology to replace their ninjas with more

Demons are another type of beings in the Netherrealm. They are controlled by
whomever rules the Netherrealm and some have the ability of flight. They are
ruthless beings who would even kill a God if given the chance.
The Edenians are much like the people of the Earthrealm. They were last ruled
by King Jerrod and Queen Sindel before Shao Kahn took the realm of Edenia. It
is also worth noting that the Edenians have a lifespan greater than those of
the Earth realm as Princess Kitana is a little over 10,000 years old and is
still considered fairly young by her people. Edenia is currently ruled by Queen
Sindel and her daughter Kitana.
The Gods are the supreme rulers of the universe, though there are some that our
greater than others. They all control some kind of element in a given world and
are worshipped by mortals. The gods mostly stay out of mortals destinies but
there are a few who chooses to take more active roles in destinies of realms.
Little is known about elementals, elementals inhabit the Outworld and serve
their own agendas and appear to control some sort of element. It is not known if
their intentions are good or evil.
Humans are the main species that inhabit the Earthrealm. For the most part they
want peace and most are willing to defend their world against those who
threaten them. Others are opportunists and will turn their backs against their
home world in exchange for power or wealth, as such with the Black Dragon
member Kano. They however are unstable and their future is not clear.
Onis are the natural inhabitants of the Netherrealm. The Onis are vicious
beings who are in constant warfare in the Netherrealm. Some mortals may even be

periods of time. They ally with no one else besides each other unless a greater
purpose of theirs is to be served.
The Outworldians are the natural inhabitants of Outworld. This realm has seen
many years of vicious emperors and warfare for realms. Outworld is known by
many other realms as a conqueror and sometimes as a realm that never had life.
As of now the Outworld is in chaos after Shao Kahn’s defeat in Earthrealm and
the Outworldians are leaderless.
The Saurian, commonly known as raptor is a race that inhabited the Earthrealm
as the dominant species millions of years ago. They were driven out of the
Earthrealm by the wars between Raiden and Shinnok. Soon afterwards the Saurian

rumored that the Saurian is all but extinct and that Shao Kahn has the
remaining few working as slaves for him.
The Seidan people are the people of the Orderrealm. They hold laws to be of the
utmost importance in the universe. They will go wherever chaos is and try to
impose order. The Seidan people are also known to impose strict punishments for

The Shokan is a race of half human half dragon that inhabits the Outworld they
were allies with Shao Kahn until he started his invasion of Earth and he helped

with Edenia to overthrow Shao Kahn.

Vampires is another race that inhabits the Outworld. The vampires had their own
realm but it was merged with the Outworld long ago and the crystal is out of
