This week, *Mortal Kombat 1* received a substantial update that introduced Conan the Barbarian to its roster of fighters. However, there was an unexpected addition that wasn't announced—a secret fighter named Floyd, a ninja dressed in pink. While it might seem like a playful addition, Floyd is indeed a legitimate character in the game.
Floyd serves as a walking tribute 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 various colors. In terms of gameplay, Floyd borrows moves from other ninjas, such as Sub-Zero's freezing abilities and Scorpion's spear attacks. Interestingly, Floyd comes with a unique health stat of 1337 points, adding to his quirky charm.
For long-time fans of the franchise, Floyd's introduction might evoke a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of Reptile's debut in the original *Mortal Kombat*. Reptile, another secret fighter, was notoriously difficult to defeat and his moveset was a blend of other ninjas' abilities.
Currently, the *Mortal Kombat 1* community is actively trying to decipher the method to encounter Floyd, as his appearances seem to be somewhat random. Floyd drops hints about the challenges players need to complete, but a definitive method to trigger his appearance has yet to be confirmed.
