* Centaurian
The Centaurians are a race very similar to the Centaur of legend. Motaro is the only known member of the Centaur race. In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, the Centaur race was apparently transformed into Minotaurs due to a curse brought upon them by the Shokan.

* Cryomancer
The Cryomancer's are an Outworld race. Apparently they look as humans although Cryomancer's can control ice, their arms look frozen, and seem to be subliming.

* Cyborg
Cyborgs are some characters who have been turned into robots to improve their performance. The procedure began when the Lin Kuei clan decided to automate their warriors in Mortal Kombat 3.

* Demon
Demons are treated as a separate species in the Mortal Kombat universe. Quan Chi, Ashrah, Sareena, Kia, Shang Tsung, and Jataaka are known demons. They can hide their appearance under a human façade, but otherwise seem to be the same as Oni. Quan Chi was originally a Oni, until he became a demon with his mastery over sorcery and magic.

* Dragon
Little is known about the Dragons of Mortal Kombat. They are seldom mentioned, and there are only three possible known members of the race: Onaga, Orin, and Caro. Onaga was proclaimed the Dragon King, although it is unknown whether he was given this title by his elusive brethren or whether it is self-proclaimed.

Onaga possess some similar physical characteristics to his possible brethren, such as having scales. Similarly to Orin and Caro, Onaga can breath fire. Onaga is able to raise the dead with a power given to him by his heart, and has made his army allegedly undefeatable because he continuously revives them when they are slain. This army was later uncovered by Quan Chi, and was used as the weapon of the Deadly Alliance. Although it is unknown where they originate from, the most likely place is Outworld. Dragons all lay eggs, and apparent from Onaga, even the males do. As there is little other trace of any other Dragons in the Mortal Kombat universe, it is possible that most of them were wiped out, similar to Cryomancers or the Saurians.

* 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. Edenians have very long lives, as Kitana is 10,000 years old and still considered young. Edenians also possess special magical skills (for example, Jade can do various wind tricks, Sindel can levitate and manipulate sonic waves, and so on). It is said Edenian's long life span, strength, and nobility are due to being descendants of gods. Notable Edenians are Sindel, the Queen of Edenia; Kitana, Sindel's daughter and Princess of Edenia; Jade, who is Kitana's best friend as well as the leader of the Edenian army; Taven and Daegon, sons of the Edenian protector god Argus; and the Edenian traitors Rain and Tanya.

* Elemental
Elementals are creatures who have mastered abilities with a certain element. Their appearance differs depending on which element they have mastered. Blaze is the only known elemental, and he has mastered fire; as such he is portrayed as a being of fire.

* God
They are much the same as the Elder Gods, only less powerful. Raiden, God of Thunder; Fujin, God of Wind; and the Water God, Fire God, and Earth God are known members of the species. Raiden was initially Earthrealm's protector, but he later handed this capacity over to Fujin after his ascension to the status of an Elder God. Unlike the Elder Gods, regular Gods seem happy or feel needed to interfere in the realms' destinies regularly, considering the aforementioned positions and actions of the known Gods above. Being less powerful than Elder Gods, normal gods have limitations. Gods are not allowed to participate in mortal affairs unless in mortal form. Thus, for a god to participate in Mortal Kombat, they are required to occupy a human form. In addition, gods cannot interfere in the affairs of other realms as they not only hold any rule in foreign domain, but they also risk losing any powers they had in their native realm.

* Human
The majority of Mortal Kombat characters belong to the human race, although many of them possess superhuman qualities, such as the ability to control fire or turn invisible. Most humans originate from the Earthrealm, although they have been known to be found and originate from other realms. Generally, those who come from the other realms are those that possess the most supernatural powers and characteristics. Because they possess a soul, they were the target for Shao Kahn's extermination squad and Shang Tsung's soul devouring. The humans are responsible for repelling Outworld's forces and saving Earthrealm's existence.

* Minotaur
The Minotaurs are a relatively new species formed after the Shokan placed a curse upon the Centuarians which transformed many of them, like Motaro, into a bipedal race.

* Oni
These creatures appear as large monstrous creatures possessing sharp claws, wild hair and usually two long horns growing from the sides of their heads though appear to mostly Human in shape. Despite this being the case, there are some that are more ape-like and burly with glowing yellow eyes.

Oni are said to roam the wastelands of Netherrealm, always on the search for souls to torment for their own pleasure. Those that dwelled on Shang Tsung's island appeared to demonstrate cannibalism by eating their dead. Larger more powerful members of the Oni are known as an Oni Warlord.

* Saurian
They are reptilian humanoids who evolved from the dinosaurs. Standing on two legs and having bigger brains than their ancestors, they have the potential for more complex thought. They can also appear to alter their form to become invisible or look human. They have a matriarchal society, and any Saurian that has drifted away from the influence of the matriarch or a surrogate slowly begins to lose their ability to look human. Their saliva is compromised of powerful corrosive fluids that can easily burn right through steel or human flesh, much like acid. This acid is so powerful that it even kills other Saurians.

* Shokan
The Shokan are large creatures that dwarf Humans in size, and boast incredible strength. They are distinguished by each possessing two to six massive arms complimented by three digits on each hand. Their skin textures vary from almost resembling that of a human's, to sporting the appearance of tiger skin.

Their civilization and society is structured under a monarchy with a king ruling their people with their heir being a prince in line for the throne. In Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins, its shown that multiple heirs to the throne must compete with one another and demonstrate their ruthlessness by fighting to the death. The victor thus becomes the ruling crown-prince who will eventually inherit the throne. Furthermore, on a single particular day, it was customary to give the King a present.

Among the Shokan, there is one rule that surpasses all others: survival of the fittest and most ruthless.

* Spectre
Spectres are beings that are reborn as unliving warriors. These beings wield powers that associate with the Netherrealm: Fire (Scorpion). Spectres are different from Wraiths although they are from the same realm. Usually spectres look more human than Wraiths.

* Tarkata
The Tarkatans are an interracial breed of warriors, a mix of a race from Outworld and a race from the Netherealm. They have long pointy teeth, large mouths, and blades protruding from their bodies, especially their arms. Baraka is their leader, and it's revealed Mileena is half-Tarkatan as well. The Tarkatans are a nomadic species, mainly populating Outworld's wastelands, but it's discovered that they come from the Netherrealm and migrated to Outworld. This race possesses a love for battle and serves whomever is in command (Shao Kahn, the Deadly Alliance, etc.).

* Undead
The Undead were creatures who were killed in life and lived within the infernal depths of the Netherrealm. These beings were typically skeletal looking creatures who were forever to be tormented within their fiery home Realm. Some were capable of ripping apart bloody chunks from their body and throw them at their enemies as a form of grenade attack. When encountering living creatures, the Undead often converged on fresh meat in order to devour it. Typically, they ambushed prey by suddenly emerging from the ground.

* Vampire
The Vampire, also known as Moroi, are a species that were native to the Realm of Vaeternus. The vampire race were Human in appearance but possessed sharp fangs as well as wings. They were not an evil race but neutral as they required the blood of living beings in order to survive. The race were known to be incredibly old as well as have very detailed histories which were chronicled by their Elders. These archives were so detailed that they contaied prophecies that encompassed Edenia in relation to the Pyramid of Argus and even had knowledge on the Saurians of Zaterra.

* Wraith
Wraiths, are beings who have previously died only to be "reborn" as inhuman warriors. They are not to be confused with the undead, who are best described as living corpses. These beings wield powers associated with the Netherealm: shadows and darkness (Noob Saibot). Wraiths are less human looking than Spectres.

* Zombie
A zombie is a reanimated corpse, brought back to life by magic.

Dark skies gave away to glowing warmth. The light began to stretch her fingers across the land as the early morning passed. Awaking at the start of dawn, Shujinko sat up on his sleeping mat, rubbing his groggy eyes. Taking his time, his tired body arose. He walked outside as usual to watch the sun peek out over the horizon. A duchenne smile rose the wrinkles of his tired face, beaming with brilliance.

"How I do enjoy watching the sun just as she shows her face for the first time," he said, admiring the beauty for a moment.

Rage sat amongst the Edenian Ruins, the world of Edenia had a nice landscape and he felt a sort of connection to it. Rage's appearance would be easily noticed in an enhabited area and the potential of people being alarmed by his appearance was high, it was too much of a risk to join civilisation. Rage also believed that commotion would hinder his progress to finding his perpose for being in the world, thus he kept away from civilisation and wandered, searching for something.

Scouting the Living Forest, Rain silently crept in careful pursuit of Sektor. Rain was one one of a scouting party, but the cyborg's visit had gotten Rain's curiosity. Unfortunately, Sektor seemed all too aware for he started to run off. Growling, the prince ran off after Sektor.
