Trivia

 * Quan Chi's Throne should have made a reappearance at Quan Chi's Fortress in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance as the background furniture in front of his inner sanctum for the sorcerer's stronghold.

 * It was not until it made an alternative appearance as a seemingly-obsidian leather throne within Quan Chi's Fortress in the Story mode of Mortal Kombat X.
 * The Shoal of Quan Chi.jpgn the Krypt and Extras kontent special features of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, there was a concept art based on the exterior of Quan Chi's Fortress, but with another name for the villain's own citadel called "Shoal of Quan Chi" (or "Quan Chi's Shoal"): the sorcerer's lair is shown built on a shoal. On the Shoal lies a balcony-like road complete with a courtyard, riddled with huge stone statue heads bearing the image of the sorcerer's face, built around the water and leads directly to the entrance of the fortress where Quan Chi resides.
