About Moloch

The three-eyed Moloch is a massive, lumbering Oni who had originally come from the Netherrealm and made his debut in . He is a non-playable character (excluding third-party devices) carrying a massive orb and chain with it. He has typical miniboss abilities such as great strength, devastating moves and a few weak spots to exploit for the typically more nimble but weaker opponent. Moloch would be the sub-boss before either Shang Tsung or Quan Chi.

Storyline

Moloch is the only known ally of his Oni counterpart, Drahmin. Unlike Drahmin however, distorted and consumed by rage as he may be, Moloch has most likely always been a demon from the Netherrealm. After being accidentally set free by Quan Chi in the events leading up to the Deadly Alliance game, they attacked the cyborg Cyrax but were forced to flee from his bombs. Eventually, they took refuge in a forest and fed on those who wandered too close too its borders. Li Mei came too close to the forest, but escaped through the trees. After they were enlisted by Shang Tsung and held in the basement of his palace as an insurance policy, should Quan Chi turn on him. Eventually, Moloch and Drahmin were set free, but instead of confronting Quan Chi, they ironically protected him by defeating Scorpion and hurling him into the soulnado. Moloch's whereabouts since then are unknown, but he will return in the upcoming .

Trivia

  • Moloch makes a brief cameo in 's Konquest mode - he is seen speaking with Drahmin, saying they should feed on the remains of the loser of the nearby battle between Quan Chi and Scorpion. This is most likely how Quan Chi met the two oni.
  • Concept art for Deadly Alliance depicted Moloch as originally having an owl who would fetch his orb from the Netherealm. Moloch would appear where the owl dropped the orb.
  • Moloch is immune to projectiles.
