Uglyguy25,

I like your backstory to Torr. This is something that I think could really happen.

I still think Torr is a large oni turned into a large sized human by Quan Chi. Why I think Quan Chi never got Torr able to talk is that he didn't care if he talked or not, he just wanted to turn him into the image we see him now so he could use him a weapon of sorts.

I never realized this until you made me realize it. I never thought on why onis are always found in dark places such as Goro' Lair and the Netherrealm. There is a reason why Torr has the cloth over his head and the reason is his eyes can't stand the light, just like an oni. This is more evidence into having Torr being an oni.

Jacky 50A,

I don't think he's either a new species, genetic experiment, or a disoriented demon. Here's why I think this:

Torr doesn't show any sort of disorientation. He shows a little intelligence and is able to fight anyone by himself.

I don't think he is a genetic experiment because we would've seen him in the Flesh Pits in MK9 or have Shang Tsung mention something about him to either Shao Kahn or Quan Chi. Plus, Quan Chi was too busy doing things for both Shao Kahn and Shinnok. He might've got started on Torr but wouldn't have gotten him finished.

He definitely doesn't look like he is of a new species. He looks more human if anything but he's huge. Considering he moves somewhat like a gorilla, he would be a new gorilla race but their is just no body hair on him. Next thing I can compare him to is shokans but he can't talk like them. So it's highly unlikely for him to be a completely new species.

So yeah, I think Torr resembles more of an oni than any other race that exists in MK.

See you later everybody. Got things to do.
