Nitara, why are you looking at my neck like that?
- Let’s just get this out of the way: Nitara’s voice is terrible, I know, and I hate saying that because I’m actually okay with Megan Fox as an actress (especially when she was in the Transformers movies!). But in terms of Nitara’s design in Mortal Kombat 1, I think it’s pretty decent!
- Facing a declining blood supply in her home realm of Vaeternus, Nitara sought help from the sorcerer Quan Chi and battled against the Forces of Light to accomplish her mission.
- And besides their need to feed on blood, Vaeternians seem to also have a unique sense of style as seen with Nitara’s MK1 skins.
#1: Dangerous Bite
- Nitara, why are you looking at my neck like that?
- Dangerous Bite in action: Mortal Kombat 1 - ALL Nitara Skins and Gears
- Start at 0:45
In the case of Vaeternians, I think their bite is definitely worse than their bark. Dangerous Bite is a common New Era skin with a palette of blue and purple. There are no specific requirements needed to obtain Dangerous Bite as you can get it from the Shrine or purchase it from the store.
Vaeternians are a race of vampires that were once mortals, but their fear of death and aging led them to dark sorcery, which in turn made them the immortal beings they are today. Now they are cursed with consuming mortal blood in order to survive and can never set foot in sunlight. The last part was actually taken care of by Quan Chi as Nitara claimed in the story mode.

#2: Bloodlust
You look a little too happy here, Nitara
Bloodlust in action: Mortal Kombat 1 - ALL Nitara Skins and Gears
Start at 0:52
Speaking of vampires being thirsty, Nitara needs blood more than I need a chicken wedge from Russell’s…weird analogy, I know. Bloodlust not only refers to a Vaeternian’s thirst, but to this common New Era skin for Nitara and it has a palette containing red and black. To unlock Bloodlust, you have to level up your Character Mastery.
The world of Mortal Kombat is the fictional embodiment of bloodlust! Whether characters are killing or being killed, the body count for MK is immeasurable and I’m sure Nitara has one of the highest body counts in the game! I mean, as an immortal being who has to drink blood to survive, this vampire has the skill and the time to pile up some corpses.
#3: Dark Flight
Sorry, I…the silver’s so…shiny…can’t see…
Dark Flight in action: Mortal Kombat 1 - ALL Nitara Skins and Gears
Start at 0:59
Leave it to Johnny Cage to call Nitara flying “falling with style”. Dark Flight is a legendary New Era skin and the palette for this skin has silver and gold. To unlock Dark Flight, you have to level up your Character Mastery.
Despite Cage’s little comment, however, Nitara does have the ability to fly and she uses this ability in combat as well. One example that comes to mind is when Nitara attacked Smoke at Ying Fortress, swooping down from the sky to knock the gray ninja out of the air. Now me personally, I hated Nitara from that moment because no one touches my boy and gets away with it, BUT the moment showed how her flying can be useful for other things besides transportation.
#4: Ravenous
Ravenous…girl, same!
Ravenous in action: Mortal Kombat 1 - ALL Nitara Skins and Gears
Start at 1:04
Look, I know you’re hungry, Nitara, but humans are friends, not food! Anyway, Ravenous is the name of the common Union of Light skin shown above and the colors in its palette are purple and blue. To unlock Ravenous, you have to level up your Character Mastery.
The word ravenous means to be extremely hungry, which is me all the time, but I don’t go around drinking blood from innocent people. I get it, Vaeternians need blood to survive, but we also have to remember that it’s their fault that they’ve become blood-sucking monsters. Their survival shouldn’t be at the cost of others, especially those who have done nothing wrong.
#5: Death from Above
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…oh no…
