This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update brought a surprising addition to the roster: Conan the Barbarian. But the real unexpected guest is a secret fighter – a pink-clad ninja named Floyd! No, it's not a joke; he's a fully playable character.
Floyd is a clear nod to Pink Floyd, his introduction mirroring the band's iconic Dark Side of the Moon album cover, showcasing a prism's light dispersion. Interestingly, his moveset is a blend of other ninjas' techniques, borrowing Sub-Zero's freeze and Scorpion's spears, among others. Adding to the fun, Floyd boasts a quirky 1337 health points.
Long-time Mortal Kombat fans will see a parallel with Reptile, the original game's secret character. Like Floyd, Reptile was notoriously difficult and wielded a moveset compiled from other ninjas.
Unlocking Floyd currently appears somewhat random, with the community actively searching for the specific triggers. While Floyd offers clues to required challenges, a definitive method remains unconfirmed.
