I feel Nightwolf is the only fighter who could pull off an animality and it be acceptable by everyone.

I don't like them. I know MK is an unrealistic fighting game, but I always thought they were grasping at straws with animalities.

It only makes sense for Nightwolf, and NRS doesn't even utilize the ability in his move set or fatalities - which is tragic.

I also don't mind Kang turning into a dragon for nostalgic purposes.

But that's it. What they should do is bring back brutalities - X-ray style. No straw-grasping there.

god please no. I hated animalities. Babalities are no better.

The only good finishers aside from fatalities were friendships and hara-kiris.

I liked them, so yeah. I wouldn't mind NRS trying to give each, or most fighters "serious" animalities, but the comedic ones are nonetheless welcome.

Also, they should use the cheetah roar from the SNES version of MK3, instead of the lion one, when the word "animality" appears on the screen. The former is what I heard first, and the lion roar always felt underwhelming by comparison.

Not all the fighters should turn into terran animals, though. Some could turn into otherwordly creatures, like Shao Kahn's Tygra from the last game's throne room stage.

One idea for a comical animality: Kabal turns into the Road Runner, who ends up outrunning Wile E Coyote once again, so Wile E Coyote instead eats Kabal's opponent. Maybe we could hear "beep beep" instead of a roar when the word "Animality" appears on the screen.

I'm pretty that's some copyright infringement just waiting to happen haha.

I just hope when they do implement the animalities, they ease up on the unnecessary crotch mauling okay?

Animalities should ABSOLUTELY come back. It helps break up the monotony of seeing the same old finishers and they have the potential for laughs and that classic over the top violence MK is known for.

The only reason they haven't been in previous games was because it's hard to morph things in 3D. But now they figured out people don't care to see the morph. They just want to see the return of the classic finishers. Since we've already had Babalities, I think Animalities should have a go.

I enjoyed the babalities, not so much the friendships.

I absolutely do not want animalities back.

No thanks.

The only animalities that should exist are the traditional ones that already were part of a fatality

Liu Kang = Dragon Morph
Scorpion = .... Scorpion (mk4)

...ETC.

I never really liked these. I'd rather see something new.

Aren't the Looney Toons under WB?

With Ermac using telekinesis to shrink an opponent and Sonya ripping people in half with her legs, some fatalities don't always make sense. And then we had babalities, which made even less sense. So why not? Just hope they are more unique than big animal mauling crotch.

Bring it all back.

Just cause his name is Scorpion doesn't mean he should turn into one. I have Liu Kang and Nightwolf though, as being eligible. And as for bringing back animalities, I'd rather they bring back friendships (with the corny music too).

I'm really hoping to see Friendships again first and foremost. With next-gen tech NetherRealm can make them very cinematic and quite hilarious. Animalities would be nice too, but I'd be surprised if they're in MK10. If they are included I'd want there to be a reason for there existence, such as: Being present in the Chaos realm gives the fighters crazy powers and the ability to turn in to an animal. That's just a simple idea I thought up real quick, but something like that and I'm all for it.

Thats what I always keep saying.
And yeah they should deffinetely bring friendships back.

Animalities, Friendships, Babalities, Brutailities, I want them all back! Like someone said before, it would be a good way to break up seeing the same Fatalities again and again, and the nostalgia feeling would be awesome! Besides, I think Babalities are worse than both Friendships and Animalties, and they were in MK9, so there's a chance they could all be in.

A few more things to add.

Even though I wouldn't mind more "serious" and "fitting" animalities for the characters, I'd still love a few "unfitting" ones, like Scorpion's penguin, Reptile's monkey, Noob's ant-eater (that one was a riot in the N64 version of MKT), Kitana's rabbit and Mileena's skank.

The roar heard when the word "Animality" appears should differ based on the specific animal the winner turns into. But if we only heard the same roar during animalities, then again, it should be the cheetah roar from the SNES version of MK3. Am I the only one who prefered it to the lion roar? Not that we couldn't have both.

And I can't help but make a few more suggestions for animalities.

Kobra: He expects to turn into a giant Kobra, but two Kobra-shaped sticks appear in his hands, instead, and he suddenly finds himself wearing a Kobra costume (think of SnakeMan's design from the MegaMan games). "WTF?!!! That's BS!!!!!" he says, and then he pummels his opponent with them. When the word "animality" appears on the screen, we hear Kobra screaming his head off in anger.

Mokap: Now wearing a leotard with balls on it, he swings on a vine, let go of it and lands on his victim and goes Hannibal Lecter on them. His "animality" roar is him laughing maniacally, or a Tarzan-like yell. Hey, humans are animals, too.

Li Mei: Giant chicken, or an hippo. The former could see her eat her opponent whole, while the latter could involve an X-Ray sequence of Li Mei stepping on her downed opponent's body.

Bo Rai Cho: Giant drunk gorilla who passes out and falls on his opponent, crushing them under his weight. We then see him adorably asleep in a puddle of his opponent's blood, along with their arms and legs sticking out. And he farts.

Moloch: George from the Rampage games (which Midway used to own). He grabs his opponents hoping to eat them, but sneezes, blowing them away, leaving only the lower half of their bodies in his hand.

No thanks.

Did you not play MK4 or what? I even put that shit in parentheses for people like you.

OH, perhaps a penguin that lays an explosive egg is more suiting?!?

i want to see that killer bunny and the penguin lol jk. seriously no animalities.

I'd like to see Friendships and Animalities return

Yes to Friendships, it's the most requested finisher from all of the MK forums. How do I know?... ...I went through every wishlist on MK forums.

No to Animalities. I rather see MK characters killing animals/monsters rather than becoming one. I only make an exception to Nightwolf because werewolves are cool, thanks to Twilight. I don't want to see Liu Kang become a dragon because I rather see MK characters killing/slaying dragons.

If they don't animate Motaro in battle, it's not very likely they'll bring back animalities, and i don't think they should. Only a few times does it make sense and i just don't want to see animalities return before friendships and hara-kiris.



No. Werewolves have been cool for a significantly longer period of time than the release of some OTT romantic wishy-washy teen hormone-fest. STOP TROLLING!

I loved Scorpion's Penguin. Not that he has to have it back, though. His new animality could see him turn into a cow, where he knocks down his opponents by charging at them, shoves his udder into their faces and forces them to drink his milk until they suffocate. "MOOOO!!! Animality".

Hey, it's fitting when you think about it. Scorpion is the series' cash cow.
