A dragon-woman...maybe a herald or concubine of the Dragon King, and name her Scylla. Doesn't really pertain to the myth of Scylla (from the Odyssey), but hey, for a fatality she could always turn into some horrible creature and make a snack out of you. Lame? Yeah, I suppose, but its late and its all I could think of.

I made a similar thread like this before.

But i do like the half women-dragon idea.

I would also like to see a dracula.

I rather step into the realm of Egyptian mythology and choose Thoth. Lots of magic.

speaking of Egyptian Mythology, how about Set? More than anything else, I draw inspiration not from the Egyptian Mythological interpretation of Set, but actually of the mythology behind Conan the Barbarian. In the first movie, Thulsa Doom was a demi-god whose demonic form was that of a snake. I think it would be pretty cool to see an ultra-powerful leader, not necessarily loyal to anyone but himself, vying for power, with his mythology based on the Conan interpretation of Set. Of course, not RELATED in anyway to Conan...i'm just saying the mythology can draw inspiration from the idea. The Conan mythos created by Robert E. Howard is based fictitiously on Cimmerian culture. Set, if I remember correctly from my Theology class in my undergrad years, was considered a god among many cultures,interpreted differently in each.

Eh, rambling again.

Combining the elements of Typhon from Greek mythology with the elements of Set could make for a wicked character. Snakes galore!

grizzle Wrote: The whole concept of Greek Mythology is very much like the realm of Mortal Kombat. Motaro was a creature based on Greek Mythology which was a Centaur. But if you were able to have a new character into Mortal Kombat, which kind of Greek Mythological figure will you base him or her on? I myself would have a new character that would be a Cyclops.

If diety: Athena, goddess of Wisdom, Arts/Crafts and Military (Martial) Arts or Ares, god of War.

If mortal: Atlanta/Atalanta or Perseus (not Hercules, we seen enough of him on TV)

If creature: the Hydra (Multi-headed snake killed by Hercules) or the Medusa (Gorgon/snake haired woman killed by Perseus. Had the power to turn people to stone.).
(This was updated by popular demand. shessh!)

i love myhtology what about japanese or chinese mythology like they do with samurai showdown/dynasty warriors it would be cool if they had a micture of the guy haohmaru is inspired from and lui bei that would rock

I would like to see a Hades type character. But nothing like Blaze, he and mokap were the worst characters in Mk:Da Imo.

This is about GREEK Mythology, if you want to post about Egyptian/Oriental Mythology make a different post. Also not to be a tight ass and it's probably just a mistake on your part LadyRaiden but Athena wasn't goddess of Martial Arts but goddess of Warriors and Crafts, also it's not Atlanta it's Atalanta, once again I apologize if you perceive me as a cunt. But I guess it's true that you learn something new everyday. Anyway my reply to this topic would have to be either the Minotaur or the Hydra.

Id like a character based on the Hydra. No idea hoe theyd do it, but itd be cool.

No problem, just be aware that the spellings and definitions of mythological beings varies from book to book. Your version may be correct in the books and other sources you have seen/read, but my versions are correct in regards to my sources. Hopefully this will be educational for you as well.

Minotaur or Ciclop are my choices, but Medusa and Naga (isn't from Greek Mythology, I believe that she's from Asian Mythology, but I like) are good choices too.

LadyRaiden. Athena is the Greek Goddess of Wisdom, and i think Arhery.

I would like to see a minotaur.

Or a satter (goat man)

When I read the subject I thought you were reffering to actual characters as oposed to mytholgical creatures. Personally I would not mind seeing some new ideas. Don't get me wrong I love mythology (it has even been in my profile since day 1!) but I would like to see the new games with wild characters that are unlike any seen today.

Is Medusa part of Greek mythology? I'm not positive, i have only a vague understanding of Greek mythology, but if she is she would make an excellent MK based charachter.

MINITOR hands down!

Half bull, half man, haz to be the coolest creature in greek mytholegy.

Sounds sort of like a sub boss too.

I had an idea to a while back about the medusa thing. It would be pretty cool.

But a minosaur would seriously kick some sorry ass. I would love seeing one, and seeing one as a sub boss would be excellent. The whole concept of it really has the touches of mk.

minotoar

Who else but Hercules
lol

Make a sorceress, almost like a female counterpart of Shang Tsung, based on Circe from The Odyssey. I'd say create a character based on Dido from the Aeneid but she'd turn out too much like Kitana.

Yeah she is.

A very powerfull fighter with "hell'ish" fatalities) Hades - God of the Underworld (Hell to us). Yup Yup

As for Cyclops, that was half done with Eyedol from KI, two heads I know but very similar.

Poseidon - God of the sea

Scylla.. Monster with six serpant heads..

Calypso.. I got those names from that movie "The Odessey" that we watched in school. ^_^
