Goro is a recurring villain and later a playable character from Mortal Kombat.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Goro is crown prince of the Shokan - a race of half-human, half-dragon people easily recognizable by their hulking physique and their four arms. While an aspiring ruler in his own right, Goro ultimately is a minion of the soul-stealing sorcerer Shang Tsung, and the self-styled Emperor of Outworld, Shao Khan. This makes him a glorified mook, but people generally know better than to say that to his face.
Much like Shang Tsung before him, Goro seeks to win the Mortal Kombat tournament for ten times in a row, as this would erase the magi-legal mumbo jumbo that prevents Outworld from taking over other realms in general and Earth Realm in particular. He actually got up to nine out of ten such victories, but then Liu Kang had to show up and ruin 500 years of careful planing. Can't have shit in Outworld, it seems.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Goro fought in 8chanmania XXXVII. There, he made short work of the woefully under-leveled Generic Fighter, but then tapped out in a submission hold on the part of Papa Nier. How exactly Nier managed to put the four-armed giant into a proper submission hold remains everyone's best guess.
