The Netherealm is a fictional world in the Mortal Kombat video game series. In later games, it is also written Netherrealm.About NetherealmShujinko: "This place... it feels dark."Damashi: "As dark as every heart that inhabits it. Your presence here would not be possible. Only evil resides in this realm." Netherealm appears to be, like Outworld, a realm composed of different layers. In the Mortal Kombat universe, deceased souls or entities who have committed major crimes descend into the Netherealm to undergo endless torture. In fact, one cannot enter the Netherealm without being evil or have a soul tainted with evil. It is an alternative, more generic name for the christian concept of hell, as one of its former rulers was Lucifer. It is also described as "the darkest region of reality", and is inhabited by demons, monsters and beings of the purest evil. Though exits from and entrances to the Netherealm are very limited for obvious reasons, the world had quite a tumultuous history. Millions of years ago, the fallen Elder God Shinnok was banished there. After ages of imprisonment, he was able to break free, deposing Lucifer in the process. He restructured the realm to bear some resemblance to Earthrealm, the world which he had long desired to make his own. He later used it as a staging ground for the invasion of Edenia, but found himself cast into the depths of the realm again after this invasion was foiled. The abandoned war machines of Shinnok were then put to good use by one of his former acolytes, Noob Saibot. Native realm speciesIn a generic sense, many demons and specters are native to the Netherealm in that human beings can be transformed into them when their essences descend into hell, but it is unclear if Netherealm hosts any original life. It should also be noted that the inhabitants of this realm look more human than they are, because the realm's magical nature conceals their demonic nature. Once they leave the Netherealm, they may start to decompose and rot. Like Chaosrealmers, some Netherealmers tend to speak backwards.A specific subset of demons, the Oni, is thought to be native to the Netherealm. They vary a lot in terms of appearance, stature and colour, as is evidenced by Drahmin and Moloch, and appear to be unable to communicate with other lifeforms. Their prime state of being appears to be one of unquenchable rage. Notable residentsTransformed
