Tanya is a fictional fighter from the Mortal Kombat series, first appearing in Mortal Kombat 4 before becoming a playable character in Mortal Kombat: Deception, the 2004 fighting game developed by Midway. Like many vintage fighting games, Deception packed its matches with dramatic character voice work, and Tanya's scream became one of the clips fans ripped and shared online. It now lives a second life as a reaction sound for crashes, fails and brutal knockouts, prized by editors who want an instant shot of theatrical pain.
