The Naknada are a race of six-armed, goblinoid creatures from the Mortal Kombat universe. These beings were enslaved long ago by Shao Kahn the Konqueror, their realm absorbed into Outworld. As part of the Outworld Empire, the Naknada were a menial labour class, responsible for building the Kahn's palace and the Koliseum. They were known among the other races of Outworld for their greed and pursuit of wealth at the expense of others, leading to the Naknada being universally despised. Some Naknada, such as the Kollector, would be granted greater status by Shao Kahn, taking up positions as slave drivers and tribute collectors.
Little else is known about the Naknada. They do not have names in the traditional sense, as evidenced by the Kollector; rather, they are named after their jobs or their place of status within the empire.
