D'Vorah first appeared in Mortal Kombat X in 2015 as a Kytinn warrior who commands swarms of insects and serves as an antagonist in the game's story. Her voice work, including battle cries and pain screams, helped establish her as one of the series' most unsettling new fighters, and she later returned in Mortal Kombat 11. Short clips of her scream have since circulated on soundboards and in fan edits, where the raw, inhuman quality makes it a useful shorthand for panic, pain or villainous rage.
