GORO LIVES...
A 2,000 year old half human dragon Goro remains undefeated for the past 500 years. He won the title of grand champion by defeating Kung Lao, a Shaolin fighting monk. It was during this period that the tournament fell into Shang's hands and was corrupted.
Mortal Kombat Trilogy:
See MK1 Bio
Mortal Kombat Gold
The half human dragon stood as Shang Tsung's protector in the first tournament. Goro took the Mortal Kombat title from the original Kung Lao, only to have it won from him nine generations later by Lao's ancestor, Liu Kang. Seeking Revenge, The Shokan Prince has returned from the Outworld to crush Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat.
Mortal Kombat Deception
Goro had regained control of his Shokan army and fought to cleanse Outworld of the Dragon King's Tarkatan horde. Though the Tarkata are formidable adversaries, they were no match for an army of Shokan, inspired as they were by regaining their Emperor's favor. Baraka's troops were quickly defeated.
Goro had proven himself a powerful ally of the emperor. But Shao Kahn had given the Shokan much in his return to power. Goro felt a gift of loyalty was in order. The Edenian military had been crushed and Kitana herself had been captured. Goro brought her before Shao Kahn and sacrificed her as an offering of fealty to the once and future emperor of Outworld.
Armageddon Ending
Having defeated Blaze, Goro had attained the power of a god. But to the forces of Darkness, this power was not meant for a mere Shokan to wield. Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Shao Kahn and Onaga all had anticipated victory, only to have it stolen from them. The four surrounded Goro in a vain attempt to wrest the power from him. Goro laughed, raised his arms and let forth an ancient Shokan battle
cry. From out of nowhere an army of Shokan warriors stormed the pyramid and slaughtered the four attackers. The Shokan race will rule Outworld forever!

I so old I rember when Goro was in the arcades games for MK1. It was pretty wild at the time, Goro would land RIGHT next to you, and he start off with his chest slam most often than not lol.
I think MK is the first fighting game with a "Monster" boss so to speak.
Did SF have a Goro type thing in Sf2??
