This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update delivered a surprise addition alongside the anticipated Conan the Barbarian: a secret fighter, a pink-clad ninja named Floyd! While seemingly a playful inclusion, Floyd is a fully functional character, a clear homage to the iconic Pink Floyd.
Floyd's design mirrors the band's Dark Side of the Moon album cover, showcasing a prism-like effect. Interestingly, his moveset is a compilation of techniques borrowed from other ninjas in the game, incorporating Sub-Zero's freezing abilities and Scorpion's spear attacks. Adding to the fun, Floyd boasts a unique health stat of 1337.
This secret character evokes memories of Reptile, the hidden fighter from the original Mortal Kombat game, who similarly possessed a moveset drawn from other ninjas. Unlocking Floyd currently appears to be somewhat random, though the character provides clues to the necessary challenges. The community is actively working to decipher the exact method for triggering this unexpected encounter.
