Is Shinnok a vampire?

posted04/25/2015 02:19 AM (UTC)byUltimateRyuShinnok's fight intro absolutely screams Dracula where he rises up out of those skeleton hands like awakening from a coffin slumber, hands crossed over chest. His eyes then glow vampire red and he spreads his arms (wings) to fully release himself. His pale complexion, long bony fingers, armor and accessories, and witty demeanor are also a match to the great prince of darkness. See his intro here that I posted on my youtube channel:

He should get a Dracula alt, like Gary Oldman in Dracula. The old man version.

But if you're seriously asking, then no, lol. He's an Elder God, and I'm sure that they don't actually conform to mortal species, in particular.
But even if they do, it's been established that Mortal Kombat vampires (a.k.a. Nitara) have bat wings and fangs.
You do have a point, though, I'm sure they used some Dracula inspirations for Shinnok, which works for his more regal look.

No he is not a vampie because he is Satan but to the netherrealm he is known as Shinnok. Quan Chi has a vampire skull on his chest that gives him his powers. It makes him stronger.

The points you bring up are indeed things reminiscent of a vampire, but he isn't actually a vampire.
I always pictured him as MK's take on Satan. An Elder god who does something not good and was eventually sent to the Netherrealm. He kind of reminds me of that Satan fellow, wasn't he an angel who did something bad and eventually got sent to hell?

Well, I'm not all knowledgeable about biblical lore, but what I learned from Supernatural was that Lucifer basically questioned and defied God, and got cast down. So yeah, I guess it's kind of similar, but I'm sure Shinnok acted a lot more maliciously.
But on that note, Lucifer is a part of MK lore, isn't he? I remember reading that after Shinnok was banished to the Netherrealm, he defeated Lucifer and took over as the ruler of the Netherrealm.

My god. I'd pay good money for just that costume.
It'd beat the hell outta that samurai skin, which looked 10x better in the concept art than in-game.

Well, fallen Archangel vs. fallen Elder God, I guess Elder God still wins, fallen or not.

You got no fangs !!!
I'd say the whole crossed-arms pose is meant to evoke coffins in general and not vampires in particular; MKX added to his character giving him a fixation on death in general, so that fits. There are some slight resemblances to classic vampire imagery, though I'd state a lot of his pre-established traits fit the mold very well and contributed to that.
