Long-time separation from his race caused Reptile to start reverting to a reptilian appearance. Reptile was captured and exiled to the Netherrealm. Jade, however, betrays Reptile and assists Kitana (along with the warriors of Earthrealm) in Shao Kahn's defeat. Reptile accepted, and was dispatched (along with the mysterious female ninja Jade) to find and kill the rogue princess Kitana. However, during Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm, Shao Kahn promised Reptile to restore his race and release Zaterra from Outworld control if he could accept a special assignment. In the events of the Earthrealm and Outworld tournaments, Reptile kept a low profile as the hidden bodyguard of the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung. Prior to the first Mortal Kombat game, Reptile swore his loyalty to Outworld emperor Shao Kahn (who promised to revive his race), unaware that it was Kahn himself who destroyed his homeworld. Reptile is a member of the extinct Saurian race from the Outworld planet Zaterra. Reptile also appears as a secret character in early arcade versions of NBA Jam: Tournament Edition along with Raiden, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero. In the Mortal Kombat film, he is played by Keith Cooke. Reptile is played by Daniel Pesina in Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat II and by John Turk in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. He serves in the Mortal Kombat universe as a hidden bodyguard to the primary antagonist (and later had his body unwillingly transformed into the Dragon King Onaga).
However, in recent years, his appearance uses a mixture of standard ninja (from classic games) and reptilian (from modern games). Originally a secret opponent in the original Mortal Kombat as a simple palette swap, Reptile's appearance, backstory, and special moves have evolved over the course of the franchise, portraying him less of a typical ninja and more of a reptilian creature. Reptile is a reptilian ninja (often wearing green attire) and a combatant in the Mortal Kombat franchise.
