This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update brought a surprise addition to the roster: Conan the Barbarian. But the real unexpected guest is a secret fighter – a pink-clad ninja named Floyd! No, it's not a joke; he's a fully playable character.
Floyd is an obvious nod to Pink Floyd, his very existence referencing the iconic Dark Side of the Moon album cover's prism effect. Interestingly, his moveset is a blend of other ninjas' techniques, incorporating Sub-Zero's freezing abilities and Scorpion's spear attacks. Adding to the fun, Floyd boasts a quirky 1337 health points.
This secret character evokes memories of Reptile, the hidden fighter from the original Mortal Kombat game. Like Reptile, Floyd's moves are a compilation of techniques from other ninjas, making him a unique addition to the game.
Unlocking Floyd currently appears somewhat random, though the character offers clues to the required challenges. The community is actively working to decipher how to trigger this encounter, with a definitive method yet to be confirmed.
