* AbortedArc: Deception was building The One Being up to be the final antagonist of the original continuity, but come Armageddon onward, it's been regulated to a few name drops. Most likely the writers realized that you can't exactly beat a godlike being made up of different realms in a fist fight.

* AssimilationPlot: Wants to reunite the Realms to make itself whole again.
* AwfulTruth: The Elder Gods concealed the true nature of the One Being from the denizens of the realms, namely the part asserting that none of them have any real individual consciousness of their own-- all sentient lifeforms are merely fragments of the One Being's dreaming mind. It's pretty existentially terrifying when you think about it, so no wonder they hid it. ''MKX'' indicates that this great conspiracy was part of the reason why Shinnok rebelled against his brethren, as he wanted to spread the truth and was denied.
* TheBadGuyWins: Subtly implied to have happened in the original timeline. While it has yet to happen in the new one, Shinnok's non-canon ending in ''MKX'' involves him awakening the One Being to achieve his RageAgainstTheHeavens.
* TheCameo: In ''Scorpion's Revenge'', it briefly shows up in the background during TheCameo of the Elder Gods.
* CosmicEntity: Its body got chopped up into separate universes, and its return would force them all to recombine with cataclysmic results.

* EvilOnlyHasToWinOnce: Exactly how malevolent the One Being is (or if it is malevolent at all) is unknown, but for story purposes, it is a GreaterScopeVillain who would supposedly cause the annihilation of all existence the instant it succeeds in its plans to restore itself.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Since it has no speaking role, the One Being has no known characterization beyond its apparent end goal of restoring its body and annihilating all Realms.
* TheGhost: At least until ''Mortal Kombat X'', where it appears in Shinnok's arcade ladder ending.
* GodIsEvil: It is the most powerful being in Mortal Kombat universe, and its goal is to destroy all of existence in order to restore its body.
* GreaterScopeVillain: It [[TheManBehindTheMan subtly manipulates powerful beings such as Shinnok, Shao Kahn and Onaga]], to achieve its goal of merging all the realms so it could be whole again. However, the One Being's very nature prevents it from ever having a direct hand in the plot, let alone participating in kombat.
* OmnicidalManiac: Intentionally or not, its goal would cause the end of all Realms should it succeed.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Seems to be this for Shao Kahn and Onaga, whose obsession with expanding Outworld by merging realms expedites the One Being's return. ''Mortal Kombat X'' implies that the fallen elder god Shinnok is under the One Being's influence as well.
* TopGod: As ''THE'' primordial entity of the MK universe, every God can trace their lineage back to the One Being. Jade in [=MK11=] refers to it as the "God before Gods," while Cetrion in a mirror-match identifies creation as "children of the One Being, as are all gods of the realms." However, with the introduction of the Titans, who far outclass the Elder Gods in age and power, it's unclear where it stands in relation to ''them''.
* PiecesOfGod: The One Being was split into the many Realms in TheVerse, with each of the Kamidogu containing an essential part of its, uh, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment essence]] from which it can be reconstituted.
* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: Quietly implied in both of its on-screen appearances-- ''Mortal Kombat X'' shows the One Being only as a hellish face formed from the clouds, while ''WesternAnimation/MortalKombatLegendsBattleOfTheRealms'' briefly shows the One Being as an indistinct humanoid silhouette made of pure light.

->In Mortal Kombat (2011), Shao Kahn is hinted at being under the influence of the One Being as he stands atop the pyramid, prepared to begin Armageddon and destroy the realms. This event, in the second timeline, is hastened to the final events of Mortal Kombat 3, when Shao Kahn has almost merged Earthrealm with Outworld, and at the same time he is ending all things in existence. However, the Elder Gods intervene and destroy Shao Kahn, thereby halting whatever plans the One Being may have had. In the Mortal Kombat X comic series, it is revealed that the six Kamidogu, now daggers in the rebooted timeline, have all tasted the blood of the One Being and its essence lives within them, serving as the source of the daggers' Blood Magik. In Shinnok's Mortal Kombat X ending, the fallen Elder God succeeds in re-merging all the realms to reawaken the One Being, allowing it to destroy all of reality upon the One Being's revival and devoured the Elder Gods.

* VillainousFriendship: He strikes a chord with the Joker in the latter's tower ending in ''11'', presumably due to their very similar philosophies, and very notably is one of the few characters to ''ever'' be on [[HatedByAll the Joker's]] wavelength.
