As the Elder God of Life and Nature, living things are created from her mere presence.Ĭetrion's moveset is mostly based on zoning, with many abilities that can keep the opponent away from her, preventing any engagement in hand to hand combat. She can also combine these base elements to create new ones such as metal, ice, magma, and energy. She is particularly fond of manipulating earth, forming large boulders to use against her opponent. Chunks of crystal float behind her head in a rough ring shape.Ĭombat Characteristics Powers and AbilitiesĬetrion is an incredibly powerful Elder God capable of manipulating the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Light to her will. Her outfit appears to be a combination of teal crystal, green plant matter, and thin brown cords wrapped around her neck, torso, and waist. Because of this, it is subtly implied that she - and possibly Shinnok (considering some intros between her and Raiden) - might merely be puppets of Kronika herself, being oblivious to their part of a greater design.Ĭetrion appears human at a glance, but with dull purple skin, green hair resembling seaweed, and tiny green dots around her similarly-glowing eyes resembling shining stars. Nonetheless, Cetrion believes that the greatest Virtue is abiding her mother's will of balance, and the Shaolin proves in kombat that her heart is not enough to support such folly. Liu Kang notices that Cetrion, being the Elder Goddess of Virtue, gets weaker by following Kronika's vision, since it directly opposes the very principle she is supposed to stand for.
Still, much like Kronika, Cetrion's actions are not motivated by grief or vengeance, but a very relativist and divine concept of equilibrium that strongly require she and her brother to keep tangling the realms into their conflict, a vision firmly opposed by Raiden. In this respect, Cetrion is shown to be hypocritical, and every bit as cruel and dark as Shinnok. Although she stands as a bastion of Peace and Light on the surface, she is loyal to her mother first and foremost, and is perfectly willing to commit atrocities (even murdering her fellow Elder Gods) if it advances her mother's goals. However, once Raiden caused massive and irreversible unbalance between good and evil by decapitating Shinnok - and therefore taking him out of the game forever - she betrayed her fellow Elder Gods like her brother had in order to assist her mother in creating a New Era, an age where she and Shinnok would once again pit the realms against one another in an eternal struggle.Ĭetrion's dominion is Nature and Life, allowing her to control the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Light. Kronika's plans were for both to continue existing, thereby keeping the balance of these essential aspects of the universe. Both played an intricate game for eons: while she defended Life, Virtue, and Light, Shinnok defended Death, Corruption, and Darkness. She is also the daughter of Kronika.ĭuring the events of Mortal Kombat 11, it is revealed that Cetrion, much like Shinnok, was a sleeper agent for Kronika. Cetrion is an Elder Goddess who is the sister and counterpart of Shinnok and one of the deities responsible for banishing him to the Netherrealm.
