Well you know I'm always one to disagree ! Reptiles trading card said that he served Shao Kahn, but it was Shao Kahn who destroyed Zaterra after beating them in Mortal Kombat.

While Onaga ruled Outworld, I don't think no one even knew of Mortal Kombat until Shang Tsung stole the tournement from the Shaolin, which was hundreds of years later before Goro even came to the tournament.

Plus the orb which was used to hold the Vampire Realm, If Outworld were Zaterra, there would be no need to seperate the 2 realms since they were already one. How do you break a realm in 2. And now we are back to Onaga. Onaga is, well I don't know what the hell Onaga is. I think he's a dragon since he can use dragon fire and his martial art is that of a real dragon. So we have to ask ourselves, what beings originally lived in Outworld during Onaga's reign? Did we have a bunch of people running around with spiked heads like Shao Kahn? Were the Tarkata already living in the Wastelands? So many questions!

im not saying that zaterra is outworld. im saying that zaterra is the vampire realm, and outworld is made up of it and many others. the orb would separate it much like edenia.

So your saying that Outworld isn't a realm at all. Just a place where several other realms are meged together? Yes and you did press a good point, was Onaga the first emperor of Outworld? Anyway what realm do you think Shao Kahn is from? I think his origins lie in Chaos Realm. Many of the ladies (if you can call them that) seem to like Shao Kahn, says he makes lots of trouble.

This would also explain Havik's ending. How did Havik have knowledge of Shao Kahn? Hotaru having knowledge of Kahn is simple, he guards the city of Lei Chen. But I think that Outworld was just a wasteland and then Onaga came, saw, and took command. He build up an empire out of the dirty dusty wasteland. Then then he got megalo meniacal and wanted to rule all the realms.

I dunno. the elders wouldnt just create it with no use for it. at least the netherrealm had use. yeh, i think that kahn was originally from chaosrealm, curtosy of haviks ending. i think that onaga was from zaterra and ruled it. he had allies in chaosrealm whom provided him with loyal chaotic (now undead) army. then kahn got greedy, killed onaga and siezed zaterra. he merged other realms and eventually it was known as outworld. when people say that ojnaga was the first ruler of outworld, they either mean that because we know that kahn killed him and he is now emporer of outworld, onaga must have been too, or they dont know the fact that it could have been zaterra at the time. it would explain haviks obsession with kahn. then his obsession with killing onaga to get kahn (clone (2 kahns?))alive again, and hotarus obsession with stopping kahn and helping onaga.
it even says that khan was once like raiden. meaning he protected the land until going evil and wanting to take it.

Yes even though Damashi said it, someone in Outworld said that Kahn was like Onaga but he got power hungry. But Reptile's card holds ground that Outworld is not Zattera, but Kahn may have merged the two realms and now it is a part of Zattera. I think the living forest was once part of Zattera. Reptile seems to like the living forest a lot.

Also, Reptile's card said he is an ally of the female Khameleon. She is also from Zattera. That means she is a cannon character and may make a return in the next MK! She was last seen in MKT as one of the secrete characters, but no one ever thought she would be made into a real character. Khameleon is the key to Zattera. In her ending she informed Reptile of what really happened to the realm. Studying Khameleon is the key to the "TRUE" Zattera!

I found some images of Khameleon.









Khameleon has all the moves of the female ninjas in MKT. This is may be a clue that her race can mimic the abilities of others. Khameleon seeks to inform Reptile of his Zatteran heretige along with breed with him, in hopes of repopulating their race. Lucky Reptile, but his insanity may cause him to attack her instead. The only thing that Reptile does know is that Kahn did destroy Zattera. Reptile is loyal to Kahn so he may regain his home realm, I think. But then why would he wander in Outworld wanting to serve a master? I think Reptile grew to respect Kahn and that is why he was driven insane by Shao Kahn's "death." He respected Kahn and saw him as the only means to get Zattera back.
