Animalities actually started off as a fan rumor. There were fake pictures of how to turn certain characters into animals as a fatality move. The team were aware of this rumor and decided to incorporate Animalities into Mortal Kombat 3.

According to the developers, the idea of Fatalities came from the idea of rubbing your victory in your opponents' faces and to "put an exclamation point on the end of a fight."
