Kahn then replaced him with Sindel.Įd Boon called Motaro one of the "oddest shaped" Mortal Kombat characters. In the 2011 reboot, Motaro is killed during the invasion by Raiden, who foresaw Johnny Cage's death at Motaro's hands. Ultimately, as with nearly every character of the franchise, Motaro is killed at the end of Armageddon.
#Motaro ultimate mortal kombat 3 skin
He returns in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, but since then the Centaurians have been put under a curse by the Shokan, turning him and the rest of his race into bipedal Minotaurs the curse has also relieved him of his most powerful abilities, his skin no longer possessing reflective properties. Motaro makes a cameo appearance in the "Konquest" mode of Mortal Kombat: Deception.
It is at this point that Motaro was assaulted and supposedly mortally wounded by Sheeva. When Sonya Blade defeats Kano, throwing him from a skyscraper to the streets below, Motaro recovers the severely injured Kano and brings him back to Shao Kahn's fortress, where Kano is first revived and then imprisoned so he could later be punished by Kahn for failing to defeat Sonya. In Mortal Kombat 3, Kahn appoints Motaro to head extermination squads dispatched to Earthrealm to vanquish Earth's chosen warriors. He also has an absolute immunity to projectile attacks, as Motaro's skin appears to have some sort of reflective surface that automatically repels long range attacks to the point of sending them right back at opponents. As a Centaurian, Motaro possesses a great strength as well as a razor-sharp tail that fires energy blasts from its tip, and the power of teleportation. Motaro's kind have come into conflict with the Shokan, a four-armeded race to which Goro, Kintaro and Sheeva belong, as Kahn favors the Centaurians and aids them in the defeat and subjugation of the Shokan race.
Motaro is from a race of Centaurians (a race of centaur-like creatures with ram-like horns and a long metallic rat-like tail).
