This week, *Mortal Kombat 1* received a significant update that brought Conan the Barbarian into the fray, much to the excitement of fans. However, there was another addition that caught players by surprise—a secret fighter named Floyd, dressed in pink and styled as a ninja. While it might sound like a playful Easter egg, Floyd is indeed a legitimate combatant within the game.
Floyd serves as a tribute to the iconic rock band Pink Floyd, drawing inspiration from the cover of their album *The Dark Side of the Moon*, which illustrates the spectrum of light. In terms of gameplay, Floyd borrows moves from other ninjas; he can freeze opponents like Sub-Zero or launch spears like Scorpion. Adding to his unique character, Floyd comes equipped with exactly 1337 health points, a nod to the gaming culture's "leet" slang.
Long-time fans of the *Mortal Kombat* series might experience a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of the original game's secret fighter, Reptile. Just like Reptile, who was a challenging opponent with a move set compiled from other ninjas, Floyd brings a similar nostalgic twist to *Mortal Kombat 1*.
The community is currently engaged in uncovering the method to encounter Floyd, as his appearances seem to be somewhat random. Although Floyd drops hints about the challenges required to unlock him, a definitive method has yet to be confirmed. The excitement around this mysterious addition continues to grow as players delve deeper into the game.
