Torr is absolutely huge. No mere human can be that big and not be able to talk. Torr is definitely not a shokan because he doesn't have the signature four arms. Shokans are able to talk also.

Now that I'm done with my theory, I also want to discuss the sorcerer who will change Torr from Oni form to Human form. It's an obvious one because they are no evil sorcerers left besides Quan Chi. Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung are assumably gone and I don't know if Kotal Kahn knows this type of magic. Shinnok could be a viable sorcerer to do this but I don't know if he would just walk up to a large oni and turn him human. So, Quan Chi is the only one left to do this to Torr. Plus, Quan Chi did this to himself so he's about the only sorcerer to know how to do something like this. First off: Great ideas on how Torr could be an Oni.

Second: Non-Canonical events taken out of the equation, not all Shokans have four arms. In the comic book by Malibu Comics, there was a Shokan named Grum who had six arms. I would imagine that there could be a Shokan who only has two arms. Also, the Shokan figured out a way to change the Centaur species into Minotaurs in the original timeline. This could be true the other way around. A Centaur could've cursed a single Shokan to only have two arms. I find this unlikely that Torr is a Shokan but I suppose it's possible.

Third: Both Shinnok and Kotal Kahn are gods. Shinnok is an elder god and Kotal is, I'm only assuming because of his variations, a protector god. I would say that he's the protector god of Outworld. Moreover, both could give trade secrets of how to turn yourself into a more humanistic Oni if need be.
