"Mortal Kombat 1 Unveils Secret Fighter with Rock Legend Nod"

This week, *Mortal Kombat 1* received a significant update that introduced Conan the Barbarian to the fray, much to the excitement of fans. However, there was an unannounced addition that has taken the community by surprise—a ninja dressed in pink and named Floyd. While it might seem like a playful addition, Floyd is indeed a legitimate secret fighter within the game.

Floyd serves as a walking homage to the iconic rock band Pink Floyd, specifically referencing the cover of their album *The Dark Side of the Moon*, which famously 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 opponents like Sub-Zero or launch spears like Scorpion. Adding to his unique charm, Floyd boasts an impressive 1337 health points, a nod to the internet slang for "elite."

For long-time fans of the franchise, Floyd's introduction may evoke a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of the original secret fighter, Reptile, from the first *Mortal Kombat* game. Reptile was notoriously difficult to defeat and his move set was a blend 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, as his appearances seem somewhat random. Floyd drops hints about the challenges that need to be completed, but a definitive method to unlock him has yet to be confirmed.
