![]() The Herald of Gargos: Main article: The Herald of Gargos Stage Main article: Shadow Tiger's Lair He is the right hand of his master’s will. He is corruption, fear, and rage given form. Now freed, the Herald of Gargos has drawn enough power through his battles as Shadow Jago to manifest physically on the mortal plane. It is currently unknown how long he had been dwelling within and how long Jago had been struggling against his influence. However, he failed to do this and was forced to retreat. Omen's goal was initially to possess and corrupt the soul of Jago and transform him into a mindless follower of Gargos. And Omen is the only fighter as yet to not receive a retro costume and colors 7-9 (the latter of which later became available during post-Season 3), with the only other exception being Shadow Jago, who has all 11 colors (9 standard ones and 2 bonus ones) but has no costume or accessories. Omen's character model is essentially a reworked Jago, with massive cosmetic changes and a different stance, yet a few of his moves have also been taken from Sabrewulf. Omen was sort of a planning state for Cinder, as Iron Galaxy wondered how exactly to make a fighter made of pure flowing energy for Season 2. He has an unpredictable and frantic fighting style with awkward kicks and swipes due to his unfamiliarity with having a corporeal form, though he makes up for this with his ability to fly using his wings and attack with the confusing Rashakuken fireballs. ![]() Omen can control and manipulate shadow energy, which is mainly provided to him by Gargos. Ever since he was expelled and put back into his winged energy form he has craved to feel those sensations again, and now feels that there may be more to existing than simple servitude. During his time in control of Jago’s body he could feel things he could never feel before, such as love, hatred, despair, and joy. Interestingly enough, Omen himself has felt a pull away from Gargos’ influence. He has also tempted Sadira into entering the darkness of Gargos, though to what extent is unknown. He is very familiar with the hearts of humans, knowing exactly which buttons to press in order to break them, especially Jago, whose body he has even managed to take control of. He is a cocky and arrogant individual who has the utmost confidence in both the abilities of himself and his master. However, unlike the mindless monster Shadow Jago, Omen is very aware of his decisions and has a conscious personality. He exists only to serve, and does his job as effectively as possible. Omen is a freakishly loyal servant of Gargos who follows his master’s every beck and call, no matter what. When flying and performing his signature Demonic Despair attack, he manifests wings similar to those of Gargos, his master. His face is similar in appearance to a traditional, Japanese oni mask (specifically of the jya variety), with two horns and a despondent expression. These "blood vessels" extend from his chest and run down his arms and legs, similarly to a skeleton. ![]() Inside his thoracic cavity is a ribcage-like structure composed of tubes similar to blood vessels, and, occasionally, a deep blue image of a human heart flashes from deep inside. When attacking, the high speeds create thin, white streaks that trail behind his fingers and toes. Electricity seems to indefinitely crackle along his body. ![]() ![]() His appearance is that of a human silhouette, consisting of a strange, shadowy-blue fog, transitioning into a bright, white color around his face, fingers, and toes. When the characters hold still for a certain amount of time, the music will change to a remixed version of Jago's theme from Killer Instinct 2 / Gold, " Bridge ", as well as his classic theme from the original Killer Instinct, " Do It Now!".Omen's relatively simple design bears a resemblance to Cinder from the original Killer Instinct. Composer Mick Gordon explains that the chanting is more about the phonetics and rhythm than lyrics with actual meaning. Although it isn't clear what exactly the chant is saying, Jago's name can be heard several times. It includes a high-pitched shamisen, a wood block percussion, a deep distortion guitar, female harmony vocals, and incoherent Tibetan chanting. Jago's theme "The Tiger Warrior" is used as the background music for the Tiger's Lair. There are several burning pots and torches, large, golden, tiger statues, torn curtains, and other apparel fitting of a monk's monastery.ĭuring an Ultra Combo, the gigantic bell in the background will begin to ring, eventually ringing so hard that the structure supporting it collapses and sends the bell plummeting into the valley. The Tiger's Lair is a Tibetan temple located high in the mountains, though in poor shape, with a wall collapsed in the background exposing the mountain and a massive bell. ![]()
