Nice catch! That's actually pretty cool.

Yay! He has a real name! Reptile is so...Nick Jr. Like in children's shows and books where the cat character is just name Cat and the bird's name is Duck.

Seriously guys! Go Single match between the two until you get it!

This is interesting. I hope that doesn't mean they'll drop the "Reptile" name entirely.

Didn't happen with Kuai/Sub-Zero, Bi-Han/Noob Saibot, Tomas/Smoke, or Hanzo/Scorpion won't happen with.....Syzoth/Reptile.

That's gonna take a while to get used to but it's great he has an actual name.

Would that mean Rain doesn't have a name?

That's true. Shit didn't even cross my mind. I guess this news has me excited and I wasn't thinking.

Squall, Squall Torrent Monsoon...

Nah, it's Greg...

Interesting bit of info. If they do introduce a "Lizard", it should be pronounced like Lásard.

Based on the thread title alone, I thought there was going to be a punchline.

Way to get my hopes up.

That's cool that he has a name, though. Sounds hissy (for lack of a better word.)

That's pretty awesome

So I decided to hear the line for myself and put Psyzoth against Raiden and DAMN they be burnin' the shit out of each other.

Psyzoth just makes him sound like a Pokemon lol

We should have a thread dedicated to intriguing intros. Did anyone catch how Erron Black tells Kano he killed Kobra? Nice little surprises in the dialogues.

Mileena claims Liu Kang loved her and not Kitana in one intro...wtf

Oh my god what an awesome piece of dialogue. Yay for Reptile fans! Rejoice!

The intro dialogues in this game blow my goddamn mind. It's fucking awesome to know what Reptile's real name is.

Further adds on to the respect that he is gaining as of late.

Reptile's apology: I'm so Saurian!

Hopefully Kotal may respect/revere him, especially as both were "wronged" by Raiden...



Ka-Tra

Kotal kind of does because they're both the last of their respective kinds.

I love tidbits like this

I don't know about that. I mean, especially now that we know he has a name. Think about what this means. Even though he has this name, he's always been known as just "Reptile", meaning everyone around him, his superiors, his allies, to them he's just "Reptile". They don't even refer to him by the name of the species like saying, "Bow to me, Human," or in this case, "Bow to me, Saurian," instead, it's actually right down to the type of creature that he is, a reptile. The only name that would convey less respect than that is if they referred to him simply as "Creature".

Kotal might have been a little overdramatic/that might have been an error when he said was the last of his race in that comic chapter, as we see some Osh-Tekk in the very next chapter and his soldiers are also called Osh-Tekk in the mobile game.

That's pretty fucking cool.

And just this morning I was asking myself, "Christ, why does every last one of Reptile's intros revolve around people insulting his smell?"

Someone redirected Reptile's page to "Syzoth" on the MK Wikia before it was changed back.
