"Hypno: Part Deux!" shows that despite her bravado, she has a hard time making friends at school and is nervous about high school gatherings. When fighting, she also wields a baseball bat.[11] In "Warren & Hypno, Sitting in a Tree," it is revealed that April knows who Warren Stone is as she was part of a fan club dedicated to him called the Stoneheads,and she is 16 years old.

His training of the turtles manifests in copying and watching Lou Jitsu tapes, which is revealed to be more effective than the brothers expected. In the episodes "The Evil League of Mutants" and "Shadow of Evil," Splinter is revealed to have actually been famous martial artist celebrity Lou Jitsu all along, who is also a descendant of a bloodline dedicating itself in preventing Shredder's return. He acquired a large fanbase during his career, including Draxum (who used his genetic sample to create the Turtles) and some members of the Foot Clan. His use of unconventional weaponry is inspired by Jackie Chan.[13]
- Todd Capybara (voiced by Thurop Van Orman) – A friendly mutant capybara and selfless charitable caretaker of Cuddles Cakes Puppy Rescue on Long Island. In exchange for Todd giving up his RV, Michelangelo and Donatello build a new type of residence for Todd and his rescue puppies. In "Portal Jacked," Todd Capybara has a picture in Run of the Mill Pizza that lists him as a "best customer."
- Señor Hueso (voiced by Eric Bauza) - A skeleton who uses his own left arm for a cane. He is the doorman and manager of the pizza parlor called Run of the Mill Pizza in New York's mystical Undercity. In "Portal Jacked," it is revealed that he is the brother of Capitán Piel. Señor Hueso's name is Spanish for "Mr. Bone."
- Bullhop (voiced by Dave Foley) - Stanley is a Canadian immigrant and bellhop who worked at a hotel that was actually a front for Big Mama's Battle Nexus. When the Oozesquitoes swarmed in the hotel, the Turtles tried to keep Stanley from getting stung only to fail. As a result of his consumption of beef jerky, Stanley is turned into a mutant bull and flees the hotel. After the Turtles try to make up for their mistake, he becomes their friend and develops advanced dancing skills. This character is a homage to Jerry Lewis' role in the movie The Bellboy.
- DIGG - A trio of girl rock musicians longing for their breakthrough. Turned into a mutant burrowing animal by the Oozequitoes, they attempt a misguided scheme to win themselves an attentive debut audience by targeting the different pizzerias. With the Turtles' aid, they finally become an attraction as pizzeria musicians.
- Prairie Dog (voiced by E.G. Daily) - A mutant prairie dog who is the group's lead singer and guitarist.
- Ground Hog (voiced by Betsy Sodaro) - A mutant groundhog who is the group's dig-obsessed drummer.
- Honey Badger (voiced by E.G. Daily) - A mutant honey badger who is the group's secondary guitarist. She is the strongest of the group.
- Sunita (voiced by Kody Kavitha) - A slime Yōkai that can exploded and reassemble at will. She can assume a human form thanks to a special amulet. At the time of meeting April and the Turtles, Sunita was wearing metal boots that turned out to be part of the Kuroi Yoroi leading her to be targeted by the Foot Lieutenant and the Foot Brute.
- Frankenfoot / Buddy (voiced by Rob Paulsen) - A patchwork Origami Ninja put together by Raph as a sparring partner. He becomes a permanent member of the team, even earning a Turtle insignia courtesy of Mikey.
- S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. (voiced by Greg Cipes) - An A.I. invention that is devoted to its creator Donatello, causing a disgruntled Raphael, Leonardo and Michelangelo to reprogram and thus inadvertently turning it against their brother. Donatello was able to fix it.
- Piebald (voiced by Chelsea Peretti) - A goldfish that is owned by Splinter and was accidentally flushed down the toilet by the Turtles. After traversing through the sewers and nearly being eaten by Trash Wizard, Piebald swallowed an Oozesquito and mutated. She traveled to the lair and started picking off the Turtles and Splinter one by one. It was later revealed that Piebald secretly reunited with Splinter and they came up with a plan to frighten the Turtles for their actions.
Antagonists
- Baron Draxum (voiced by John Cena[14][15]) – A turquoise-skinned Yōkai warrior and alchemist from the "Hidden City" with maroon hair and faun-like legs, who has the power to augment his own body by crushing pods in his hands. As the self-proclaimed protector of all mutantkind, Baron Draxum seeks to mutate humans into mutants so that he can live up to his title.[16] An incident amidst an earlier attempt to mutate humankind into Yōkai led to the creation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles while causing Lou Jitsu's transition into Splinter, attempting to win the former to his side before joining forces with the Foot to reassemble the Kuroi Yoroi and revive Shredder. In "How to Make Enemies and Bend People to Your Will," Draxum exploits a loophole in the Foot Clan's rules to becomes its leader through tactics that enable him to gain a shard of the Kuroi Yoroi that Foot Lieutenant and Foot Brute failed to acquire.
- Huginn and Muninn (voiced by Timothy Simons & Sam Richardson[17]) – Two small gargoyle-like creatures with retractable wings that are often seen sitting on Baron Draxum's shoulders. Huginn has a frog-like body and a cat-like head and tail while Muninn has a frog-like body and a tapir-like head. Their name and presence as Draxum's constant companions are a play on Odin's ravens Huginn and Muninn.
- Guardsmen (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) – The guards that work for Baron Draxum who are experts at armed combat. They can also ride monstrous dogs.
- Oozesquitos – A swarm of mutant mosquitoes that are often used for Baron Draxum.[18] They store mutagen in them in order to infect anyone they bite which turns them into mutants. The Oozesquitoes are first seen when Baron Draxum tests the mutagen on a delivery guy named Stewart. In the Ninja Turtles first encounter with Baron Draxum, the Ninja Turtles unknowingly unleash the Oozesquitos into New York City. In "Bug Busters", it is revealed that Big Mama uses the Oozesquitos so that they can fight for her entertainment in the Battle Nexus much to the annoyance of Baron Draxum. In addition, he also had a hand in the Ninja Turtles' origins. As Baron Draxum called them his "swarm", Huginn and Muninn stated that the Turtles called them Oozesquitoes which is catchy to them.

In "Shadow of Evil", it is revealed that the Foot Clan uses a shoe store called the Foot Shack as a front for their activities. Most of its members have been fans of the Lou Jitsu films. As of "How to Make Enemies and Bend People to Your Will," Baron Draxum took command over the Foot after exploiting a loophole in clan's rulings of leadership.
- Shredder - The original leader of the Foot Clan. He was a man possessed by the demonic Kuroi Yoroi armor that swallowed his soul. Shredder terrorized Japan until he was defeated by Splinter's ancestors with his armor broken into pieces and scattered across the world to prevent his return. The Foot Clan and Baron Draxum are seeking out the fragments of the Kuroi Yoroi to reassemble it and resurrect Shredder.
- Foot Lieutenant (voiced by Rob Paulsen) – A leading officer of the Foot Clan.
- Foot Brute (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) – A buff member of the Foot Clan who works alongside Foot Lieutenant.
- Foot Recruit (voiced by Zelda Williams) - An unnamed female member of the Foot Clan with a hyper-aggressive personality who debuted in "Hot Soup: The Game". In "How to Make Enemies and Bend People to Your Will," Foot Recruit assists Baron Draxum in getting a metal from a statue in the botanical gardens so that she can be able to move up.
- Jocelyn (voiced by Cree Summer) - A Foot Initiate who gains the mark of the Foot in "How to Make Enemies and Bend People to Your Will." Foot Recruit claimed to Baron Draxum that she got the mark because her parents are "big donors."
- Foot Soldiers - An army of ninjas that are associated with the Foot Clan.
- Origami Ninjas – Ninjas made out of paper that are created by Foot Lieutenant and Foot Brute.
- Mutant Silverfish – A bunch of mutant silverfish. If they are attacked, the Mutant Silverfish will split into smaller silverfish that would later aggregate back to its original state.
- Meat Sweats (voiced by Johnny Rotten[19]) – Rupert Swaggart is a former celebrity chef who was turned into a mutant pig upon being stung by an Oozesquito while hitting a failing contestant with a slab of pig meat during his TV show "Kondescending Kitchen." He wears gray gloves to conceal his tendril arms, which he uses to temporary absorb the abilities of any other mutants and wields a meat tenderizer in battle. Meat Sweats habitually makes any mutant he catches into his "meals" to strengthen the "flavor."[20]
- Albearto (voiced by Tom Kenny[19]) – An animatronic brown bear used at children's birthday parties in Albearto's Pizzeria.[21] After a small child short-circuited him, April had Donatello upgrade him where a stage mishap caused Albearto to get electrocuted and come to life. In "Al Be Back," Albearto returns where his head was salvaged by Baxter Stockboy in exchange for the cheat codes for the dance game. While on a car, he places his head on a new Albearto body in front of the birthday kids, gets the manager's hand print for the security scanner, and animates his bear "brothers" from failed franchises to attack Albearto Land where Albearto also animated the Albearto animatronics there. The Ninja Turtles put on a concert that Albearto and his animatronic "brothers" attend which causes them to explode since they couldn't stand the Ninja Turtles' singing.
- Al-Beardo the Pirate (voiced by Tom Kenny) - An animatronic bear pirate with a hook for a right hand, an eyepatch over his right eye, and a left peg leg who is the mascot of a failed Albearto's British- and pirate-themed franchise called "Al-Beardo's Squid and Chips".

This was later found to be one piece of the Kuroi Yoroi that was needed to revive Shredder. In "Warren & Hypno, Sitting in a Tree," Warren has become a roommate of Hypno-Potamus and also loses the gauntlet to Baron Draxum so that the Foot Clan can use it in their plot to revive Shredder. Though April does remember who Warren is since she was part of the Stoneheads.
- Hypno-Potamus (voiced by Rhys Darby[19]) – Mezmer-Ron is a successful stage magician and hypnotist who mutated into a hippopotamus after he was stung by an Oozesquito that merged him with his pet hippopotamus Doug.[21] Driven by envy, Hypno-Potamus strives to outachieve any magician with an even greater "trick" than they can produce, and find a way to bring Doug back to life, leading to his clashes with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Big Mama uses the Oozesquitos in her possession to mutate anyone into mutants so that they can fight for her entertainment in the Battle Nexus.

At the end of "The Ancient Art of Ninja Hide and Seek," it is revealed that Splinter back when he was Lou Jitsu used to be a girlfriend to Big Mama when Splinter sneaks into the Grand Nexus Hotel again and unlocks a drawer that contained a photograph of Lou Jitsu and Big Mama's human form.
