the "female versions of Scorpion and Sub-Zero", and the character indeed emerged as saw Tobias' sketch of a veiled female warrior and suggested creating a duplicate similar to the ninjas. Tobias does not remember the exact origin of the name Mileena, but he felt "it had a pleasant sound to it, which either helped hide her grotesque appearance or exposed a hidden inner beauty". According to Acclaim Entertainment's producer Robert O'Farrell, the game was given two female fighters so it would better compete against Capcom's Street Fighter II, which had only one. Since her debut, Mileena's characteristic weapon is a pair of sharpened, dagger-like sai, that at first, she has been using in combat only as projectiles and during some of her finishing moves (eventually, the sai were given more use in Mortal Kombat 2011). Only in Mortal Kombat Gold does she use a European style longsword (similar to that of Scorpion in Mortal Kombat 4) as her primary physical weapon. Prior to the release of MK2011, Mileena was one of the five "legendary characters" spotlighted by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, alongside the likes of Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Her MK2011 X-ray attack was altered to incorporate sai stabbings after fan feedback "to fit Mileena as far as her style, her brutality." Her trademark moves through the series include double-sai throws that can be performed midair, teleport kicks, and on-ground rolling attacks. Mileena also utilizes her sai in most of her Fatalities, including immobilizing her opponents prior to the killing sequence (such as her "Rip Off" finisher in MK2011), while she pretends to kiss her victims in others. In MKX, both of her Fatalities exhibit her cannibalistic traits. There was a popular but completely false urban legend-style rumor regarding a supposed "Nudality" finishing move in MKII. Her Animality in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat Trilogy sees her transform into a skunk that sprays the defeated opponent. Mileena is physically identical to Kitana, the most glaring exception being her half-Tarkata with large and exposed sharp teeth (which got noticeably downsized for Mortal Kombat: Deception and Armageddon). Boon described Mileena as "Anti-Kitana" and said that her large "sharp, nasty teeth" have been not originally planned and were only drawn for her infamous Fatality "Man-Eater" (featured in UMK3 too), in which she sucks up the entire body of her victims and then regurgitates their clean bones. After MKII, her teeth were almost
