"Mortal Kombat 1 Unveils Secret Fighter Linked to Iconic Rock Band"

This week, *Mortal Kombat 1* received a significant update that introduced Conan the Barbarian to the roster, thrilling fans with new combat dynamics. However, the update also brought an unannounced and unexpected addition: a ninja dressed in pink named Floyd. While it might seem like a playful addition, Floyd is a legitimate secret fighter within the game.

Floyd serves as a walking homage to the legendary rock band Pink Floyd, specifically referencing the iconic cover of their album *The Dark Side of the Moon*, which depicts the dispersion of light into a spectrum of colors. In terms of gameplay, Floyd is a versatile character, borrowing moves from other ninjas. He can freeze enemies like Sub-Zero or use spears like Scorpion. Adding to his unique charm, Floyd boasts 1337 health points, a nod to the internet slang for "elite."

For long-time fans of the franchise, Floyd's introduction might evoke a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of the original secret fighter, Reptile, from the very first *Mortal Kombat* game. Reptile was notoriously difficult to unlock and his move set was a compilation of other ninjas' abilities, much like Floyd's.

Currently, the *Mortal Kombat 1* community is actively trying to decipher the method to trigger an encounter with Floyd. His appearances seem somewhat random, though he drops hints about the challenges players must complete. However, a full confirmation on how to consistently unlock him has yet to be established.
