In Mortal Kombat (2011), Smoke (in his MKII costume) occasionally appears behind the trees, without Jade.The tree faces seen in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks are based on Ed Boon's visage.In Mortal Kombat: Deception, the faces are static and do not make noise.
In one of the MK comics, the forest is said to have once been a part of Edenia, where it was known as the Laughing Forest, as the trees were jolly and filled with mirth.
In Mortal Kombat 11, the Living Forest appears as one of the many arenas in the Retrocade arena that appears on the monitors in the background. Soon afterward, the tree begins to feast on the kombatant's flesh, leaving only the legs behind. This new Living Forest is home to a new Stage Fatality where the opponent can be thrown into a tree's opened mouth. The Living Forest returns once again in Mortal Kombat (2011), this time with corpses laying around and hanging in the trees, and the tree faces now have a more skull-esque shape. Snakes also inhabit the murky waters of the area and they attack anyone who stumbles upon their territory. The original larger trees can be used as a death trap for players to throw enemies into where they devour anyone unlucky enough to fly into their mouths. It also features a variation of the sentient tree that is more humanoid and spindly in shape and tries to swat at and toss unwary individuals about. However, it looks significantly different than its MKII predecessor, sporting tombs and canopy walkways in the trees, and lit by many torches. In Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, the Living Forest is both a Versus mode arena and a walkthrough area players can access through the single player/co-op modes. The arena's appearance in Mortal Kombat: Deception again remained largely unaltered, aside from being a square-shaped arena rather than a linear one. The stage, like every other stage in Mortal Kombat 4, is rendered in 3D. It remains mostly the same, only with the exclusion of Jade or Smoke popping out in the background. The arena returns in Mortal Kombat 4 and Mortal Kombat Gold. This version of the Living Forest reappears in Mortal Kombat Trilogy. A since-disproved rumor had the winning player performing a Stage Fatality where one of the trees would chew up the opponent (this concept was integrated into Shaolin Monks as a means to progress through the level).
In Mortal Kombat II, Jade and Smoke can be seen lurking in the background, occasionally poking their heads from around the trees. In turn, those consumed become part of the forest. Some of the trees are hungry, and unsuspecting travelers may find themselves ensnared in their treacherous branches, and become devoured. The trees themselves are sentient, some with faces that groan and roar. This forest has been haunted for centuries. The Living Forest is an arena located in Outworld.
