This page discusses Mortal Kombat species.

Automation

In Mortal Kombat, some characters have been turned into robots to improve their performance. It all started when the Lin Kuei clan decided to automate their ninjas.

Sektor was the first ninja to undergo this process of roboticization, and he would prove to be their biggest success. The Lin Kuei programmed the new robots to do their bidding, and Sektor's main objective was to seek out and kill Sub-Zero, who left the clan after refusing to be transformed into a robot. Sektor was devoid of a soul, lost all human emotions, and never succeeded in his mission. After turning his back on the Lin Kuei, he ventured to Japan and formed his Tekunin faction.

Cyrax was another of the Lin Kuei members turned into a robot. He was also programmed to seek out Sub-Zero. However, Cyrax was captured by Sub-Zero, reprogrammed, and permanently malfunctioned. He was then captured by Sonya Blade and Jax, and was partially returned to his human state.

Smoke was the third of the Lin Kuei warriors to undergo roboticization. After returning from a mission, he and Sub-Zero learned of the Lin Kuei's plans to transform their members into robots. The two fled; Sub-Zero escaped, but Smoke was captured and forced to become a robot. He was later captured in Outworld by Shao Kahn's army. Hopelessly imprisoned, he chose to shut himself down. Afterwards, Smoke was found by Noob Saibot and reactivated, along with some tampering of his machinery. As of right now, Smoke is torn between serving his new master and searching for his lost humanity.

Centaurian

Centaurians (or Centaurs) are a race of beings whose bodies resemble hybrids of humans, horses, bulls and rams. They have strong stallion-like lower bodies with long tails. Their upper bodies resemble that of humans with ram, goat or bull-like horns and fins protruding from their elbows. Some Centaurians also sport long horse-like manes while others are completely hairless. They are a native race of Outworld known for their hunting skills and ferocity. They are the natural enemies of the Shokan race and will not hesitate to prove they are superior and better fit for leadership in Shao Kahn's army.

The only Centaurian feautured in the games is Motaro, although others appear in licensed media and tie-ins. No female Centaurians have been featured in the storyline.

Cryomancer

Cryomancers are a relatively new race in the Mortal Kombat universe. While members of this race have been in most of the games, it was only recently revealed in Mortal Kombat: Deception that there was such a race at all. Members include Sub-Zero, Noob Saibot, and Frost.

Cryomancers were once a race of people in ancient Outworld. It is unclear how they died out, but some speculate that Shao Kahn may have feared their power and had them exterminated. Some fled to Earthrealm and joined the ranks of the Lin Kuei.

The Frozen Katakombs are the only known sanctuary of the lost race of Cryomancers. It is located somewhere in Outworld.

Edenian

Edenians are a human-like species that dwell in Edenia. At one time, Shao Kahn merged Edenia with Outworld to expand his tyranny. Some of those in the Edenian Royal Family battled for it and it was eventually returned to its original state. Most noteable Edenians are Sindel, the Queen of Edenia, Kitana, Sindel's daughter, Jade, who is Kitana's best friend as well as the leader of the Edenian Army, Rain, Shao Kahns former assassin who turned on him, and the Edenian traitor Tanya. Edenians have very long lives, as Kitana is 10,000 years old, and still considered young. Edenians also have special magical skills (i.e Jade can do various wind tricks and Sindel can fly and launch fireballs).
