Nitara is a minor character from the 2021 martial arts movie Mortal Kombat. Based on the character of the same name from the games, she is a vampiric warrior from Outworld. In the film, she is one of the warriors chosen by Shang Tsung to represent Outworld in the upcoming Mortal Kombat tournament.
History[]
Nitara appeared among the other Outworld warriors when summoned by Shang Tsung to join him in assaulting Raiden's temple. After Kabal talked Kano into betraying the Earthrealm champions, Shang Tsung led his warriors into the temple once Kano had destroyed Raiden's lightning staff, which had been generating a shield around the temple.
In the ensuing battle, Nitara fought against Kung Lao, attacking by flying above and swooping down to claw at him. Kung Lao had been briefly disarmed, his razor-rimmed hat left embedded in the floor of the temple's fighting pit, but he was able to jump onto Nitara's back as she swooped down once again. Lao then used his arcana to make his hat rotate on the spot, spinning like a buzzsaw. Grabbing Nitara's wings, he forced her to swoop down again, diving face-first into the rapidly-spinning hat, which carved through her and split her in half.
