What new types of races would you like to see in MK8? What about different hybrids?


So far we have Oni's, Reptiles, Tarkatans, Vampires, Shokans, Centaurs, Cyborgs, Demons, and alot others. But what new characters or races would you want? Here are some of my ideas:


Zombies - Real zombies brought up from the graveyard. These zombies would be actual cannibals that prey on any type of flesh (people from Earthrealm & Edenia).


Gargoyles - New creatures, living somewhere in Outworld. Their realm was long ago taken over by Shao Kahn; then merged with Outworld. They would have blue skin colour with glowing white eyes. They'd look more on the human side and unlike other Outworld warriors (Baraka), the Gargoyles would be a force that fights for good.


Dracula - A superior in Nitara's race (or maybe the leader).


Minotaur - A new and powerful creature (future sub-boss?). Maybe the Minotaurs would have their own realm as well.


Chimera - I've always wanted to see a Chimera in MK. It would be bad ass, just thinking about the look. The Chimera would have the head and legs of a Lion, body of a Goat, tail as a Snake. He'd be menacing, looking mostly Lion-like; constantly shooting fire balls. He could be sub-boss material, or maybe just a regular new character.


Cerberus - A 3-headed dog (who guards the entrance to Hades in Greek Mythology). This would be another bad ass character; having Hades or maybe a new Underworld realm in MK would be sweet too.


Phantom - A new warrior from the Chaos Realm, much more powerful than Havik. He would be dressed in all dark purple with a cape on. For his face, you wouldnt see any skin......just the Phantom of the opera mask.


Genie - Possible future boss? I'd like that idea. For his story, his force was captured by Raiden or the Elder Gods because they knew of his dark and evil powers to grant wishes. The genie was now set free from a character already in the MK universe.....


Pirates - I think Pirates would fit into MK perfectly. I've always wanted them in as possible future threats, so I think a new pirate character from a new realm would rock. He'd have swords, cannons, and would want to rule all realms, similar to Onaga.


Insects - An insect character would be sweet IMO. His special powers would vary from different insects & bugs that he's made up of.


Fairy - Having a Fairy would be pretty cool too, as long as they don't make it look childish. The fairy would be similar to Ashrah, but would instead have heaven-like powers. She would be a good character, sided with Raiden and Fujin.


Mummy - A new character risin from the dead. He'd look egyptian-like, and comes from a new realm that looks like Egypt (lots of pyramids, etc).


Witches - We definately need a gothic witch in MK. Her powers would involve witch craft and dark magic.


Komodo Dragon - A new warrior from Reptile's race. Bigger and more monster looking.


Lin Kuei Warrior - I think a new Lin Kuei warrior would be awesome. However, they'd have to make him look alot different than Sub-Zero or other ninja-like characters. His special powers? Metal. He'd fully be able to transform himself into metal/liquid metal. He can change his arms into knives, blades, stabbing weapons, chains, etc. Basically, he'd be like the t-1000 from terminator 2.


Now what about hybrids? I think hybrids are awesome.....especially if it's with animals or another type of hybrid. IMO Kintaro has one of the best hybrids.....a half Shokan half Tiger is sweet, we need to have more characters like that. Thats why I thought a Chimera would be neat because it has alot of Lion features to it.


My idea's for hybrids? I was thinking a Wolf hybrid would be nice.....but then I thought about it again and realized that a new Wolf character would remind me of Saberwulf (Killer instinct) too much. In this case, I think a Hyena character would be awesome. Whether if it's a hybrid or a full blooded Hyena, I think having one in MK would fit perfectly. Why? they are known to be dark and evil animals (Africans say they are witches in animal form). Maybe a new witch character in MK would be half (or full) hyena. She'd probably look gothic with black lipstick, spikes, and dark glowing purple eyes. Maybe the leader would look more menacing, with dark grey fur; black spots all over it. The Hyenas would be the next generation tarkata's......evil, powerful, and deceptive. Maybe they could come from their own pitch dark realm that exsists in the most deepest and darkest places of Outworld. Their powers? it would involve vodoo and black magic.


Anyways, tell me your thoughts and post all your idea's! You can also talk about new realms here if you want.
