I’ve said that Eyedol’s backstory should be that he was brought or resurrected from the Astral Plane by UltraTech (Aria) to defeat Gargos, at first they think they completely control him, but he actually uses them to get the strength he needs before taking over his new body for his own personal plans of world domination… so I guess we could add your design theory to that and run with it…
It makes perfect sense
Yeah like eyedol could pretend to be under ultratech’s control, wait until gargos is defeated and then turn against UT and take control of them… thus paving the way for killer instinct 4.
Turn him into KI’s Goro.
Maybe perhaps give Eyedol a DOOM vibe will work.
I’d be down for that, though Gargos kinda already has the nude demon thing going on. I’d love to see Eyedol covered from head to toe in armor, or maybe like you said do a Cyber Demon thing and have him covered in Ultratech gear.
What would be a good moveset for Eyedol if he returned?
There’s the…
Look at Gargos’ new moveset…
If only Eyedol’s moveset was new like Gargos’. Including his backstory.
I think the stomping can either be his taunt or an actual gameplay mechanic that builds up a damage boost for the next attack, or builds up meter.
Oh, and hopefully the mace swing will send opponents flying up off-screen, that would be sweet!
If he can’t be a demon like Gargos, he can be an alien DOOM style!
Some kind of monster of war!
Gargos wants corruption. While Eyedol wants war on all creation until nothing is left.
If that’s the case then eyedol’s alien race based on war can be rivals with glacius’s peace based alien race. This would also tie-in one of those season 1 endings:
Here’s some more eyedol designs I’ve been able to find. Don’t think most of these have been shared here yet:

I think that last one would be perfect as his retro design.

This one would be an awesome redesign:
What about his moveset? His special moves feel like a problem.
Gargos has portal punches, strangle his enemy to extract energy or pummel them, EVEN SUMMON MINIONS LIKE “PAIN & PANIC”!
Oh yeah! And Gargos has Bison’s “Psycho Crusher”!
There’s gotta be something like…
As I said before:
If you’re talking about iconic moves then I agree. Eyedol should have like a move where he stomps the opponent like goro/kintaro would in MK.
A new move for eyedol could be a flurry of punches like goro in mkx.
A new grapple where eyedol runs/tramples over the opponent.
He can have another new move where he attaches the opponent to his club and slams them repeatedly.
Since gargos has bison’s psycho crusher then eyedol should have shao kahn’s upward shoulder attack:
Since Gargos is the “Bison” of KI, let’s hope Eyedol can be something like both Goro & Shao Kahn.
Here’s Gargos’ new moveset
But with Eyedol’s new moveset
From the KI wiki page about etedol’s moves:
Moveset:
Fireball: Down, Quarter Forward, Forward, Any Punch.
Horn Charge: Back, Forward, Quick Punch.
Mace Swing: Back, Forward, Fierce Punch.
Forward Leaping Mace: Back, Forward, Quick Kick.
Upward Leaping Mace: Back, Forward, Medium Kick.
Backward Leaping Mace: Back, Forward, Fierce Kick.
Energy Stomp: Back, Medium Punch.
True I guess. But those look too simple. Except the fireball.
Which ones would you replace, improve or eliminate completely?
His horn charge can be similar to kahn’s shoulder charge but with eyedol’s head/s instead.
I really like his leaping mace attacks, could be useful against air attacks and for dodging projectiles.
I would eliminate the leaping.
Improve the fireballs, horn charge, mace swing & energy stomp.
Eyedol should have a new weapon like an axe since Aganos now uses a mace from stone. Better yet… both an axe and hammer.
Fireballs… I’d say one of his heads can do that. And one could shoot a laser from its eye.
Anybody got storywise thoughts? Including pop cultures to put in? Eyedol was inspired by the cyclops from Jason & the Argonauts. How about something else than him being another demon lord like Gargos? He can be alien instead.
Gargos has a mix of Gargos and demon Baphomet vibe.
