Syzoth

In Mortal Kombat 1, Syzoth (Reptile) is reimagined as a sympathetic, tragic outcast who can freely shapeshift between a handsome human guise and his true Saurian/Zaterran form.

Appearance

• Human Form: Appears as a well-built man with dark hair, a light green-and-black ninja-inspired outfit, tribal facial tattoos, a light green face covering/mask options, and armored gloves. • True Saurian Form: A large, reptilian humanoid monster with scaly green skin, claws, a long tongue, and sharp teeth. • Height & Attributes: Stands around 6'1".

Personality

• Outcast & Misunderstood: Unlike past timelines where he was a mindless brute, the MK1 version is an outcast among his own people because of his rare mutation allowing him to take a human shape. • Reluctant Ally: Prior to the story, he worked as a circus/carnival performer before Shang Tsung blackmailed him by holding his family hostage. • Sincere and Compassionate: Once he learns Shang Tsung deceived and murdered his family, he abandons the villains and joins Fire God Liu Kang's side to fight for justice, eventually becoming an emissary for his people.
