| Overview |
Jataaka is one of the sub-bosses in the Pyramid of Shinnok in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, and a member of the Brotherhood of Shadow. She is one of three assassins serving under Quan Chi and Shinnok, along with Sareena and Kia. They each protected a crystal which, when combined together, allowed access to a teleportation device that sent the elder Sub-Zero to Quan Chi's throne room. Judging from Sareena's story, she also may be a demon from the Netherrealm, using Quan Chi's magic to sustain her attractive human form.[2] Jataaka fights using a laser sword from which she can fire blue bolts of energy.[3] Despite her fearsome fighting skills, she was nonetheless defeated by the elder Sub-Zero.
Jataaka, along with Sareena and Kia, makes a reappearance in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon's Konquest mode, still serving Quan Chi. Together, they battle Taven in the Red Dragon's lair, but are defeated.
Jataaka is briefly mentioned in Mortal Kombat 1 by Ashrah, who states that Jataaka along with Kia were sent to hunt Ashrah down but were killed by her in the process.
Trivia
- Jataaka was portrayed by Rachel Hebert - who was digitized - during the in-game sprites, but portrayed by fitness instructor Erica Grace for the cutscene movies.
