If you watched the MK TV show Mortal Kombat Conquest, you might remember how it all ends. Shao Kahn had infiltrated Earth Realm with a city of his own, where he was worshipped as the God Shaaka.
His prophecy told of his disciples who would help Shaaka destroy whoever got in their way of righteousness, and we are shown designs of his disciples.
Some of them take obvious inspiration from MK lore. Some others aren't so obvious though, and I was wondering if anyone would like to help me figure out who they're supposed to be.

SHANG TSUNG
The most obvious one. It looks like it could be a straight up scan from an MK3 Shang design.


BARAKA
Looks like Baraka to me.


Possibly REPTILE? Or SCORPION, as a reference to his hand-serpent thing? Unlikely, as the whole thing is kind of super dumb, and I figure the skull (pictured below) represents Scorpion.


Another candidate for REPTILE. Freaky looking dude, looks too reptillian to be Kintaro or Motaro.


Who's this dude? Kind of spooky and gross. Maybe he represents the Shadow Priests?


Here we see the whole thing. Shaaka stands in the centre, with Centaur parts, Shokan parts and an extra pair of arms. Kind of a gathering of all the species he's conquered over the years, I guess.

More interestingly though, we see a classic SKULL which to me represents SCORPION. A Japanese Oni-like head (but this was before the creation of Drahmin or Moloch) and a totally rad dude with long, tubular hair. Who's this guy?

So, anyone have any ideas?
