All full-blooded Tarkatans are born with two demonic structures in their arms consisting of bone: these are the Tarkatan Blades. They span approximately four feet. Baraka uses them in all of his appearances to perform special moves as well as slicing through all who stand in his way. The signature weapon of the Tarkatan race first made its debut in Mortal Kombat II, and later was featured as a collectible Relic under the name "Baraka's Blade" within the Konquest mode of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
