Learn how Nightwolf's spirit guide was corrupted by Shao Kahn's soul in Mortal Kombat 9, transforming him into his Animality.
After Nightwolf used his power to destroy Shao Kahn, his spirit guide, the wolf, was no longer felt. Nightwolf returned home to seek the elders' help in reconnecting to the spirit world. During their ritual, his wolf returned, but changed. Shao Kahn had tethered his soul to the wolf spirit to cheat death. Now corrupted with Shao Kahn's evil, Nightwolf has transformed into his Animality, and his bite converts victims into subservient lycanthropes. Through Nightwolf, Shao Kahn intends to conquer Earthrealm one mortal at a time.
