Mortal Kombat 1 added a secret fighter with a reference to a legendary rock band

This week, *Mortal Kombat 1* received a thrilling update, introducing the iconic Conan the Barbarian to the fray. But alongside this anticipated addition came an unexpected surprise—a secret fighter named Floyd, dressed in vibrant pink. Far from being a mere jest, Floyd is a fully-fledged character and a nod to the legendary rock band, Pink Floyd. His design draws inspiration from the iconic cover of *The Dark Side of the Moon*, with its prismatic dispersion of light into a spectrum of colors.

Floyd isn't just a visual tribute; he's a formidable fighter in the arena. He borrows moves from other ninjas, capable of freezing foes like Sub-Zero and wielding spears like Scorpion. Adding to his unique charm, Floyd boasts a playful 1337 health points—a nod to the internet slang term "leet," meaning elite.

For long-time fans of the franchise, Floyd might evoke a sense of déjà vu. The original *Mortal Kombat* introduced Reptile, a secret fighter whose moves were also a compilation of other ninjas' abilities. Reptile was notoriously difficult to encounter and defeat, adding an element of mystery and challenge to the game.

Currently, the *Mortal Kombat 1* community is buzzing with excitement as they attempt to uncover the method to trigger an encounter with the elusive pink ninja, Floyd. While the process seems to be somewhat random, Floyd himself drops hints about the challenges players must complete. Although a definitive method has yet to be confirmed, the search continues, adding an extra layer of intrigue and engagement to the game.
