Krypt Monster

The Krypt Monster is a beastly, demonic creature from the Krypt in Mortal Kombat (2011). It randomly pops up for one second, screaming at the player before disappearing. It is there to frighten the player, which unfortunately causes some players to be less willing to return to the Krypt.

Trivia

 * Nobody knows why it pops up. It could just be a prank, that they are in the Krypt for too long, or that they are spending too many Koins. In truth, the creature appears at pure random. some people say they have never seen it, while others have seen within a minute of entering the krypt for the first time.


 * This is the first time the creators have added a "screamer" to frighten the players.


 * Despite its fearsome look, the Krypt Monster is simply a 2D motionless cut out image that pops up on the screen to deliver a quick shock to unsuspecting players.


 * Ironically, this creature has a name: the Flesh Pits Mutant. It was created by Shang Tsung to guard the souls in the Krypt and is a failed, rejected Flesh Pits experiment.


 * To reduce the chance of getting a visit from the Krypt Monster, simply select The Map button and choose the area. The player will be taken to that section of the Krypt and be brought to the grave that is first in numerical order. After opening the grave, the player can repeat the process to avoid the Krypt Monster.
 * There is a cheat which was confirmed by Netherrealm Studios that if you hold the shoulder buttons(L2,R2 or LT,RT) while walking about in The Krypt The Krypt Monster will not come up. This has yet to be confirmed.
 * Concept art shows the creature was possibly meant to move. A render of it was one of the starting krypt items.
