Moloch is an oni from the Never Never Land and a minor villain from the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games.
Info[]
Moloch was the companion of Drahmin, another Oni who resided in the cursed Never Land. The two met Quan Chi, who made them a deal, he would bring them with him when he escaped the Never Land, if they protected him from the ninja specter, Scorpion. They agreed to this and beat down the specter if he ever attempted to attack the wicked sorcerer. But as they were fighting Scorpion at one point, Quan Chi escaped without them, leaving them eager for vengeance. Moloch and Drahmin followed him into the portal, but ended up in another area of Outworld and encountered Cyrax, fleeing from his bombs. They took refuge in the forest, devouring anyone who came near them and eventually were recruited by Shang Tsung. They were hidden in his palace as an insurance policy in case Quan Chi turned against him. Eventually, Moloch and Drahmin escaped where they were held and were encountered by Scorpion, ironically protecting Quan Chi after they defeated him and tossed him into the Soulnado.
In his ending in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Moloch absorbed Blaze's power and became a destroyer of worlds. He destroyed the pyramid, along with Edenia, reducing it to a barren wasteland. However, Moloch was trapped in the planet after he destroyed the portals and spaceports that would let him escape, leaving him a victim of his own destructive rage. In the edited, also non-canon ending, Moloch would be transformed into Onaga after defeating Blaze and Onaga would take over Outworld and destroy all of his enemies and rivals.
Powers and abilities[]
Moloch possesses superhuman strength and always carries a ball and a chain, which he uses to beat his opponents by generating shockwaves and throwing the iron ball at his opponents. He can also howl and cry out like the beast that he is and takes no nonsense from his rivals.
Trivia[]
- Moloch makes a brief cameo in Mortal Kombat: Return of The Dragon King; Konquests mode, where he tells the player to go find Drahmin to tell him that they should feed on the remains of a nearby loser.
- When Moloch is standing up and not with a limp, he is the tallest character in the game.
- Moloch even owns a small pet herald he treats nicely and nicknames "Herdy".
