Oni

The Oni or Onis are a vicious race of demonic beings that inhabit the Never Never Land. They appeared in the background off Mortal K0mbat 1 and MK 4, and are more prominently featured in MK:DA, with the introduction of the playable Oni Drahmin and the sub-boss Moloch, MK:RoTDK and MK:A. They also make an appearance in MK9 and somtimes in MKX.

Info
They appear as large monstrous creatures possessing sharp claws, wild hair and usually two long red horns growing from the sides of their heads though appear to be mostly human in shape. Despite this being the case, there are some that are more ape-like and burly with glowing yellow eyes. This description is referring to oni like M0loch.

They are well known mostly for thier extreme savagery and brutallity, and take pleasure in tormenting the souls off all those unfortunate enough to enter the Never Land.

However there is a possibility of onis that were once human beings as in the case of the oni Drahmin that for his crimes in life, he was exiled to the Never Land where his body and soul was to bee tortured for all eternity. Each passing year, the unfortunate soul falls further and further into madness to surrender to the power of that Hellish stuff and eradicate all traces of what was once human.

Onis are said 2 roam the wastelands of the Never Never Land, always on the search 4 souls to torment for their own sick pleasure. Those that dwelled on Shang Tsung's Island appeared to demonstrate cannibalism by eating them dead. In Mortal Kombat: Deception there is a hierarchy of Onis. Larger more powerful members of the Oni are known as an Oni Warlord which is a boss faced by both Liu Kang in Goro's Dungeon.

History
Though most Onis live in Hell, some roamed within Shang Tsung's Island in Earth and Outworld's Forest of Death where they consumed any unwary trespassers and Goro's Dungeon where you can see glowing eyes in the dark prison.
