The Zaterran Warrior, Reptile
Pay your respects to the Original Lizardman!
Reptile is a sneaky little shit, but he is still fun to play with in Mortal Kombat. Reptile Doll, anyone?

A general in the Army of Darkness led by Shinnok, Reptile once belonged to an extinct race of reptilian creatures. He was banished to the Netherealm for committing genocide against several species. Responsible for the death of millions, Reptile is a dangerous ally to the forces of evil.
Ending
Reptile (bows, then kneels in front of Quan Chi): Quan Chi... I have served the lord Shinnok well in the destruction of Earth's Warriors...
Quan Chi: Yes, we are most appreciative of your efforts.
Reptile: Now I wish to return in time to my home world, before it was
destroyed in the hands of Shao Kahn. As the new ruler supreme of all reality, Shinnok alone has the power to grant me this wish...
Quan Chi: How dare you make such a perpetuous request of your lord and master?!
Reptile: It is a simple request for one of sssuch great power...
Quan Chi: It's also not worth his attention.
Reptile (gets to his feet, pissed): I demand it! If it was not for warriors such as myself, his attack against Raiden's forces would have failed.
Quan Chi: Perhaps you shall convey your feelings to Shinnok himself!
Reptile: What?!
[A very mad Shinnok appears and holds Reptile up by the neck.]
Shinnok: Infidel! You are in no position to demand anything! I can kill you with a mere thought!
Reptile (choking): We had a deal!
Shinnok: A deal?! I am not a god of my word, Reptile! All deals...are off!
[BOOM! Shinnok causes Reptile's head to explode, pieces of him hit the camera.]
Deadly Alliance
Ending
Despite the strong sulphurous stench that filled the chamber, Reptile could smell that Nitara and Cyrax had been there recently. There was no sign of them now, except for some scattered glass shards and a residual trace of strong magical energies. His revenge would have to wait.
Suddenly an expectant hush filled the chamber as energy cascaded around what appeared to be a dragon embryo. The tiny dragon stretched and the egg cracked. A beam of energy ripped out from inside and lanced into Reptile. His world was filled with roaring power as his squamous body was twisted and transformed. The ancient prophecy had been fulfilled: the Dragon King had returned.
Armageddon Ending
As the shockwave caused by Blaze's death rattled the surrounding crater, the pyramid on which Reptile stood began to crumble. A fissure opened to reveal a sarcophagus of familiar design. Reptile unlocked the curious artifact to find a female Zaterran. As she awoke, Reptile felt himself slowly reverting back to his humanoid form. The glory of Zaterra will return once more!
