NetherRealm Confirms Kombatant Animalities
Described by NetherRealm as the spirit animal morph of a Kombatant, Animalities embody the personality of a character in some way. It seems many of them are being kept secret for now, but some characters have had their Animalities revealed already. In addition toMileena’s various existing Fatalities, her Animality will take the form of a vicious Orchid Mantis with razor-like arms and sharp teeth. Mileena’s Animality expands on the fact that her teeth are integral to her character, and are one of, if not, her most iconic features.
The fact that guest characters will get Animalities opens the floor for NetherRealm to fully put its own spin on these Kombatants. In the podcast episode, it was mentioned that Peacemaker has a particularly great Animality, but they can’t say what it is yet. Other interesting characters to get Animalities will be Homelander and Ghostface.Ghostface already has a Fatality that’s got players hyped, so NetherRealm has a chance to impress gamers further.
