Shinnok, The Bane Of All Existence | Theme Soundtrack | Mortal Kombat (Award Winning Gardens)

Shinnok is one of the most evil beings in the entire Mortal Kombat universe. A vengeful and powerful fallen Elder God of Death, Shinnok appeared in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, Mortal Kombat 4/Mortal Kombat Gold, and Mortal Kombat X as the main antagonist and final boss. He also made an appearance in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, seemingly leading the side of evil. Unlike Shao Kahn, Shinnok relies less on brute strength and fear-mongering, and more on charisma, dark powers, ancient artifacts, and manipulation. He is the ruler of the Netherrealm, possessing millions of years’ worth of knowledge and power. He can impersonate any being of his choosing, as well as transform himself into an immense demon. He possesses extreme cunning and the ability to manipulate events through others. For example, he had Quan Chi convince Shao Kahn to merge Earthrealm with Outworld against the Elder Gods’ will, so that both realms would be severely weakened and left vulnerable to invasion by the Netherrealm.
