The Yin Yang Island is a mysterious yet dangerous supernatural small island and one of many well-known locations in the Mortal Kombat universe.
This enigmatic island is stuck between the oceans of two realms, Earthrealm and Outworld.
Not much is known or studied about this small island or its contents or nationality on Earthrealm for centuries.
Sailors have spoken encounters of this piece of land within a bed of fog, even if on such stormy nights, then it would vanish. They also said that the palm trees there would become living hungry snakes then turn back into tropic palm trees again. No one would believe them and many would often blamed the weird delusional tales about the island on the rum they have been drinking.
On the positive side of Yin Yang Island while in Earthrealm, it shows a luxurious modern-day cruise liner ship on a calm open ocean and clear blue skies bathed in cozy and beautific daylight. In the distance is a mysterous priestly-looking standing Buddha statue holding a flower pot, and tall palm trees in foreground, thus it gives a more serene isolated feel. Also in the middle of the isle, between the trees is a red gong with the iconic Mortal Kombat dragon symbol on it.
On the negative side of Yin Yang Island while in Outworld, it shows a Nethership on an unsafe ocean, a pale full moon, raging thunderstorms and fierce lightnings in the distance with a priestly-looking strange skull-faced standing Buddha statue holding a fire pot and trees turn into snakes in the foreground, thus it gives a more lonely and ominous feel. Also in the middle of the foreground, between the giant man-eating serpents with a rope tied to them is a red gong with a Mortal Kombat dragon logo on it. If knocked into the water with a strong attack, one will be eaten alive by bloodthirsty piranhas.
Yin Yang was revealed to be somewhere neighboring the soul-sucking sorcerer Shang Tsung's private island within the Lost Sea exactly between Earthrealm and Outworld (however, in some sources, East China Sea and the South China Sea of east asia china).
Trivia
- In 3 original concept art sketches (including the two Earthrealm/Outworld sketches), there are still two versions of the two old, Asian-typed statues found on the Yin Yang Island. The one statue on the left is is that of a calm, peaceful Buddhist holding a flower pot with healthy flowers in it. The other statue on the right is that of a skull faced, undead-looking priest holding a fire pot that emits a flame.
