Monk is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series who made his debut as a background character in Mortal Kombat.

While appearing through the series, the Monk makes his playable debut in Mortal Kombat Mobile.

About Monk

The Monk, or rather multiple Monks, is introduced in the series as a non-playable character seen in the background of the Shang Tsung's Courtyard arena in Mortal Kombat.

Monks are also members of the White Lotus Society, who serve Raiden and train at the Wu Shi Academy. Many also live at the Sky Temple along side Raiden and Fujin.

In Mortal Kombat Mobile, Monk became a playable character and gained more background information.

Appearance

In his first appearance, monks appeared in the background for Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, MK: Deadly Alliance, Mortal Kombat: Deception, Mortal Kombat (2011) and are more prominently featured in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks.

Many monks appear in Mortal Kombat 11, appearing in the Shaolin Trap Dungeon and on Shang Tsung's Island Ruins as zombified monks resurrected by a Revenant Jade. They later reappear in the final Chapter of the game's Story Mode during the raid on Kronika's Keep.

They also appear in the ending of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath during Liu Kang's ending, training in the Wu Shi Academy in Liu Kang's New Era.

Game information

The Shaolin Monks have the Wu Shi Academy and Shaolin Temple as their training grounds. They were attacked by Baraka and the Tarkata in MKII and a lot of them, were killed by Zombie Liu Kang, the enforcer of a corrupted Raiden in MKD.

They are a common enemy in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and use a variety of weapons.

Movie Appearance

The monks appear in two movies and one TV series first film, Conquest and Annihilation. They wear red.

Mobile Game Moves

  • Sacrifice: When defeated, all teammates that are still alive instantly receive +1 bar of Power. (MK Mobile Monk Card - Passive)
  • Fists of Flurry: The Monk grabs the opponent, holds them down over his knee and delivers a barrage of punches to their face before elbowing them in the stomach and delivering a knee strike that knocks them away. This attack is completely unblockable. (MK Mobile - Monk Card)
  • Shaolin Style: Spawning a sword from thin air, the Monk quickly advances forward while slashing the opponent three times with his sword to deal damage. (MK Mobile - Monk Card)

Trivia

Mortal Kombat Mobile

  • The Monk is the only Bronze character card with a grapple attack, this being his Special 1.
  • The Monk uses Kung Lao's combos and fighting stance from MKX when fighting, however his Special 2 attack is entirely original and exclusive to his character.
  • The Monk is the only character that grants teammates a bar of Power upon defeat.
