Mortal Kombat 11: 10 Gaming Icons Who MUST Guest Star

6. Pyramid Head

Mortal Kombat X, once all DLC guest fighters had been added, was almost like an alternate universe Smash bros starring horror villains instead of Nintendo heroes. A Xenomorph, a Predator, Jason Vorhees and Leatherface all made appearances as downloadable fighters. Hell, even Freddy Krueger popped up in MK X predecessor Mortal Kombat (2011).

So, in the likely event that MK 11 continues this horror-themed DLC pattern, there is but one classic horror game icon that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Or, uh, big cast iron blood-soaked helmet and shoulders above the rest?

Pyramid Head is a malevolent force of evil that haunts the world of Horror classic Silent Hill 2 and is remembered... lets charitably call it fondly... by every player who encounters him. A silent, slow, and merciless creature who wields a blade big enough to make Cloud Strike blush, Pyramid Head would definitely be the smart man's bet as the gaming guest fighter most likely to appear in MK 11.
