[edit] Zaterra in Conquest
I am editing the TV series paragraph to reflect Zaterra. Contrary to what is posted, the name of the realm is mentioned repeatedly in Conquest, from Reptile's debut in TWISTED TRUTH throughout the allegiance of the Zaterrans with Kreeya in IN KOLD BLOOD. The episodes are available on the Net to confirm this. AtenRa 16:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reptile's images
They need more spacing
[edit] De Evolution Theory
The article says there is no proof of the fan idea he is deevolving, but in the krypt of one game you could unlock a picture with a form from every game titled Reptile's De-evolution.
- I remember reading that the reason Reptile has devolved from his once human-like form to a full-blown dinosaur form is because he no longer resides in Zaterra with the rest of his Saurion race. Reptile is the only remaining member of this species, if you throw out Khameleon; therefore, he is "evolving" to another form. It is arguable whether or not Reptile is actually devolving or evolving (as both are forms of evolutionary adaptation). If people quit removing his different appearances, you'd be able to see for yourself. However, pertaining to devolution, I think if we could obtain a picture of this Krypt image, we can seal the verifiability of the situation. —№tǒŖïøŭş4lĭfė ♫♪
- I've seen that picture, but I remember it saying that the Zaterrans would simply lose their human form when away from their monarch, which - considering that the Zaterrans are apparently able to camouflage themselves, and the fact that each time Reptile removes his mask, we see a reptilian head, underneath - could very well indicate that this change is only superficial and not an actual de-evolution into a new form. 66.233.188.87 13:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- Since it's pretty much been established that Reptile and his race are NOT human, the only real reason why fans are so adamant that he's 'de-evolving' into a more reptilian form, is because he was originally introduced as a very human-looking ninja, and that's the look that stuck in most people's minds. So, sort of like the 'trukk not munky' argument of Transformers 'purists', some fans decry Reptile's more lizard-like appearance as 'devolving' to voice their disgust over the character moving away from what they grew up with.SynjoDeonecros 03:55, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

- Ok, I couldn't find the image but I went to a walkthrough and founf the name and krypt number. "Reptile de-evolution" in Krypt PF in MK: Deadly Alliance 24.91.155.84 23:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
