Goro is the four-armed shokan warrior, the known champion of the Mortal Kombat for nine generations, having been undefeated for 500 years. He is the the emperor's favorite warrior as well as serving as the commander of Outworld's armies.

Background

Prince Goro leads the Shokan, a four-armed race of half-dragons subjugated ages ago by Shao Kahn. Goro was Mortal Kombat champion nine tournaments in a row. He was defeated by Liu Kang in the tenth, ending Outworld's hopes of assimilating Earthrealm. The Shokan served the Outworld throne until Shao Kahn's death. They refused to take sides in the resulting civil war and were thus outcast. Few believe, however, that they have seen the last of Goro.

• Survived being hit by an ice beam comparable to Sub-Zero’s
• Survived a blast that had the power of Raiden
• Took a flurry of hits from Baraka’s claws, which were strong enough to cut through the Kombatant

Weaknesses

• Very slow.
• While Goro is certainly not someone a typically normal person can take on, he’s been taken out by several supposedly normal people in MK across multiple timelines, like Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and, as shown above, Johnny Cage
