Ace Duck is an anthropomorphic duck character created for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toyline by Playmates Toys. His action figure was released as part of the 1989 lineup. Ace's back-story, as described on the back of the toy's packaging, explains that he was originally a human test pilot named Ace Conrad who was caught in Krang's transport beam and cross-mutated with a duck. After the mutation, he came across the Turtles and eventually found himself in their employment.[1]

Adversary

The Adversary was a gigantic, demon-like being created from the souls of early prehistoric rats which devoured the eggs of the mythical Great Turtle. After the eggs of the Great Turtle were eaten by rats these rats subsequently feasted on the turtle's sorrow, growing larger and more powerful, the souls of these rats combined to create the Adversary.

Emperor Aleister

Emperor Aleister is emperor of the fictional state Malicuria.

Algernon

Algernon is a lizard from another planet. Algernon's home planet orbits a star in the Turtle Nebula, a nebula in the shape of a turtle. Algernon's spaceship crashed on the Earth, and Algernon helped Donatello defeat the businessman Hiram Grelch, who tried to take over TV stations in New York City.

Alim

Alim Coelacanth is the ruler of Atlantis

Ancient One

The Ancient One is a Japanese ninjutsu master who adopted and trained Hamato Yoshi, making him akin to a "grandfather" to Master Splinter and a "great-grandfather" to the Turtles. He is a short, fat, elderly man who has two different appearances during the course of the series. When he trained Yoshi, he had long silver hair and a beard, and wore a green robe. When he met Leonardo, his appearance had changed considerably; now almost bald, (though it was concealed by a hat) he wore a revealing vest and sumo-like diaper.

Angel

Angel is the name of a youth who grew up in Casey Jones' neighborhood. Her grandmother requested that Casey look after Angel. Angel comes under the influence of a street gang known as the Purple Dragons. She quickly becomes involved in thefts as part of her initiation and soon finds herself fighting in a wrestling ring to become a full-fledged member. Casey comes to her aid when he and the Turtles infiltrate a Purple Dragon hideout and pull Angel off her path of delinquency. Angel then becomes a close friend of the Turtles, appearing several times in later episodes as a guest star, or as part of the central plot point.

Antrax

Antrax is a character from the 1987 animated series and toyline. He looks like a giant ant wearing the executioner's hood and outfit, and armed with an appropriate axe. In both the toy and the show he's labeled as 'Dimension X's executioner', which makes him an alien rather than another mutant. He appeared once in the older cartoon series in the episode 'Night of the Rogues' where Shredder called all of the Turtles' past foes (including Rat King, Leatherhead, Slash, Tempestra, Chrome Dome, and Scumbug) in hopes of defeating the turtles. Oddly enough, while this was the first appearance of Scumbug and Antrax, April and the TMNT acted as if they encountered them before.

General Aguila

General Aguila is an ancient general who first appeared in the movie TMNT as one of the true antagonists of the film. He, along with his three brothers and sister, led a massive army to conquer the world in ancient times. To help accomplish this end, Aguila's brother Yaotl opened a dimensional portal using a wheel-like artifact and an annual alignment of nine stars, releasing thirteen monsters into the world. The monsters decimated his army and their current opponents, a Central American civilization. In addition, opening the portal turned Aguila and three of his siblings into stone, and left Yaotl a flesh and blood immortal.

Armaggon

Armaggon is a mutant shark from the future. He appears in the Archie Comics version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where he teams up with the Shredder and Verminator-X to obtain control of Donatello's Time-Slip Generator. The character first appeared in The Mighty Mutanimals #7 (February 1993), and was created by writer Stephen Murphy and artist Peter Laird.

King Arthur and Queen Guinevere

King Arthur and Queen Guinevere are rulers of Camelot.

Aska

Aska (ใ‚ขใ‚นใ‚ซ, Asuka) is a character who appears exclusively in the SNES version of Konami's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters fighting game. Aska is a kunoichi who enters the tournament to win money for her dojo. She has long hair with a hachimaki wrapped around her head, a red leotard, and the upper half of a white gi. In the Japanese version of the game, Mutant Warriors, Aska's leotard showed more of her body and her victory animation was different, namely an animation that was mocking Mai Shirauni of King of Fighters fame. Also, some of her moves were different and her combination moves were a bit more limited.

Badd Family

The Badd Family is a Hillbilly family.

Barada

Barada is an alien.

Bebop

Bebop follows the orders of series villain The Shredder, leader of the Foot Clan. His name comes from the style of jazz called bebop.

Beserko

Beserko (originally known as Drakus) helped Krang to design and build the Technodrome. But he was betrayed by Krang so, Drakus came to earth and took on a new name Berserko he wanted revenge on Krang who destroyed his world and nearly killed him. He built a tank called the Annilhilator and began a rampage on the city. Fortunatlely the turtles managed to stop him and turned him in to the authorities.

Constable Biggles

Aloysius Biggles is Chief Constable of 2105's New York City's police force, the Peace-Keepers. A tall, golden-hued robot with a stereotypically-British accent and vernacular, he wears a uniform resembling that of an old fashioned London "Bobby" and carries a nightstick. In keeping with his stereotypical London Bobby appearance, his catch-phrase of sorts is "'Ello, 'ello, 'ello, what's all this then?" which he utters whenever he enters a scene.

Bishop

Agent Bishop (dressed in black) and his later incarnation as President Bishop (dressed in white)

Agent John Bishop (later President Bishop) (voiced by David Zen Mansley) appears regularly in the 2003 TV series as both enemy and ally. He was originally a soldier during the 1800s who was abducted by aliens during the Battle of New Orleans. Escaping (or being released by) the aliens later, he became the head of the Earth Protection Force, commissioned by President Ulysses S. Grant, to prepare Earth for an alien invasion. By binding alien DNA to his own, Bishop has been able to lengthen his natural life-span and increase his physical abilities, making him strong, highly agile and a formidable threat to the Turtles. On one occasion ("Hun on the Run") he took on the Turtles, Hun, and Karai, battling against them simultaneously and evading their attempts to bring him down.

However, after some conflicts with the Turtles (whom he suspected of being alien agents), at certain times he and his organization became even grudging allies of the Turtles and their friends, especially during the Ninja Tribunal story arch, and developed a grudding respect for them. Years later, during a catastrophic event in the E.P.F laboratories, Bishop was saved by one of his alien captives before the facility collapsed. The selfless act of the alien redeemed Bishop completely, and from that point on he engaged himself in peaceful relations with alien races and was eventually elected President of the Pan-Galactic Alliance for his efforts. When the Turtles were stranded in the future, Bishop employed them time and again for difficult missions, and although they initially distrusted him (with good reason, considering their common past), they eventually came to accept that people can change after all.

General Blanque

General Blanque is the war-mongering leader of the Federation, and the counterpart of Triceraton Prime Leader Zanramon. As the Federation and the Triceraton Republic are direct enemies, he and Zanramon are bitter rivals.

After choosing to return to his previous college life in season ten, Donatello stabilized Carter's mutation, but on his way out of the city, Carter learned from April that she and the Turtles were captured by Dregg, Krang, and Shredder.

Channel 6 News

Burne Thompson

Burne Thompson works at Channel 6 and is April's boss. Thompson, a stocky and brash man, and cameraman Vernon Fenwick often blame the Turtles for crimes in New York City.

Chronos (real name Winston Fripp) is a villain. He is found by the Turtles to be committing crimes within the city and challenges them to stop two other crime plans of his. Once they do so, he is revealed to be Winston Flipp, someone who the Turtles apprehended and tied up for the police in a clocktower, in which the ticking drives him insane. When the Turtles capture him once more, Lord Dregg takes advantage of it by pretending to be the man behind Chronos' capture to continue his properganda campaign against the Turtles.

Claude

Claude is Breech's cat, who shrunk Michelangelo and tries to eat him.

Complete Carnage

As a child, Complete Carnage, then known as Max Wilsocchi was a slacker who believed he could get through life by being a "dumb jock" who could succeed through sports. Unfortunately, Max was mediocre at sports, barely able to make the cut. Due to neglect of his studies Max dropped out of high school in his junior year, and was then forced to do odd-jobs to support himself.

Crooked Ninja Turtle Gang

The Crooked Ninja Turtle Gang is a karate gang taken over by the Shredder, who ordered them to change their name to the Crooked Ninja Turtle Gang, dress up like turtles and commit robberies so the people of the city would come out against the TMNT. When broadcast in countries where the show's name was amended to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, their name was shortened to the Crooked Turtle Gang to avoid confusion.

MacDonald Crump

He goes around the city using the Time Stopper to steal statue of the head of Two Two Carmen from a museum then steals a laser gun from a scientist. He later gets caught by the turtles and gets handed over to the police.

DeathWatch

A deranged psychopath, DeathWatch, originally Johnny Lee Reaburn was once a janitor at an elementary school in Little Rock, Arkansas. From 1970 to 1976, Johnny Lee slaughtered twenty-eight children at the school he worked in. Johnny was finally brought to justice when his would-be twenty-ninth victim survived and managed to lead authorities to Johnny's apartment.

Donatello

Donatello's signature weapon is the bล staff. In all media he is depicted as the most intelligent of the four turtles, often speaking in technobabble with a natural aptitude for science and technology. He is named after the sculptor Donatello.[2]

Dragon Lord

Coming from the Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation series, Dragon Lord is the king of all dragons. A leading expert on mutation, Dr. Cornelius Quease was shunned by other scientists due to his "lunatic theories". In an attempt to get revenge on the world Quease allied himself with the Dragon Lord. Quease planned on trying to capture the turtles and find out what caused their mutation so he could replicate it and mutate himself and the Dragon Lord. He and his Rank army had been trapped in an enchanted glass and have now escaped. The world was once ruled by dragons and he has emerged to reclaim what was originally his. Dragon Lord still doesn't understand some of the wonders of the outside world and can become amazed at such little things like broomsticks. He is amazed to see walking Turtles and wants to digest the same ingredients that made the mutant in hopes that it will make him all powerful.

Drako

Originally a high ranking combatant in the Battle Nexus Tournament, Drako was a biped of unknown origins who resembled a dragon from Earth. Drako proved himself a worthy combatant, making it all the way to the final match. There he engaged Splinter, and nearly claimed victory by breaking the rat master's leg. However, Splinter proved the better of the two, defeating Drako with only the use of one foot. Drako, unwilling to accept defeat when he had been so close, attacked Splinter with his army of Shadow Assassins, and would have killed him had it not been for timely interventions by first Miyamoto Usagi and then the Daimyo of the Battle Nexus.

Dreadmon

Dreadmon is a character from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comic book[3] and the Archie Comics' Mutanimals.[3][4] The character is a native of South Africa. During the uprisings his father sent him and his mother to Jamaica where they suffered from poverty turning Dreadmon into a thief. One day he stole a talisman that transformed him into a part-man, part-wolf creature with super speed. The creature was friends with the Ninja Turtles and he eventually joined the Mutanimals with his close friend, Jagwar.[3]

Lord Dregg

Lord Dregg was the villain who replaced Shredder as the turtles' main enemy in the last two seasons of the 1987 cartoon. Along with him came his loyal lackey Mung, Dregg's second-in-command and science officer who would always be the subject of Dregg's anger. Lord Dregg was an alien who attempted to take over the world, but his plans were constantly foiled by the Turtles. Eventually, he started a smear campaign against them, which turned the citizens of New York against them and in favor of him. His last attempt involved using a robotic suit to absorb the powers of several other aliens, and kill the Turtles. His plan failed after Donatello and Michelangelo used Krang's android body to shrink him down and banish him to Dimension X. He was voiced by the late Tony Jay, and Mung by Cam Clarke.

Darius Dun

In the year 2105 Darius Dun is the uncle and guardian of Cody Jones, and C.E.O. of O'Neil Tech. During his time as C.E.O. of O'Neil Tech, Darius utilized his nephew's company for a variety of illicit purposes. Although the full extent of his operations is thus far unknown, Darius has, throughout the series, shown to have a network of cameras to spy on Cody (including one on Serling, Cody's devoted servant-robot); employed private soldiers, first with the Inuwashi Gunjin and later on with cloned versions of the Turtles; run a weapon-production operation (prohibited under O'Neil Tech's charter) kept under the guise of a recycling program; supplied criminal groups such as Triceraton gangs with said weapons; and stole the plans for Cody's time window. He has also established a resource-sharing alliance with would-be world-conqueror Sh'Okanabo, who supplied him with the turtle clones in exchange for the time window.

Falcon

In the 2003 animated series, Falcon is a planet racer who rode across hazardous planets on a bigger-than life version of a motorcycle. When Raphael was accidentally dropped onto his course after being temporally displaced by Ultimate Drako, Falcon's partner, Methania, was injured. As well as payback, they promised to find a way to get him home if he drove the bike while Falcon navigated.

Captain Filch

Captain Filch is a villain who kidnapped Mona Lisa prior to her mutation.

Foot Clan

The Foot Clan was originally inspired by the criminal ninja clan the Hand in the Daredevil comics. In addition to the obvious similarity in their names, both clans originate from Feudal Japan, practice Ninjutsu and black magic, and are now powerful global organized crime rings.

Fripp the Polarisoid

Fripp the Polarisoid is an alien from the planet Polaris.

Gadgetman

Gadgetman is a retired hero who tries to return to crime fighting.

Garbageman

The Garbageman appeared in two of the episodes and is apparently either too fat to walk, or has lost his legs to an unexplained mishap or a birth defect. When he first appears he lives on an island, the largest garbage manufacturing island in the city. Secretly, however, he is kidnapping homeless people and forcing them to work as his slaves on the island. His guards use violence if the slaves try to escape. When a group of homeless people whom the Turtles have befriended go missing, they track them down to the island where they face the garbageman. With more than a little effort, they manage to defeat the garbageman, who falls into the lake. Thinking he can't know how to swim, the Turtles have to save him, despite his evilness, but they go down there only to find that, mysteriously, he has disappeared.

General Gato

General Gato is an ancient stone general who first appeared in the movie TMNT as one of the true villains. He, along with his three brothers and sister, led a massive army to conquer the world in ancient times. To help accomplish this end, Gato's brother Yaotl opened a dimensional portal using a wheel-like artifact and an annual alignment of nine stars, releasing thirteen monsters into the world. The monsters decimated his army and their current opponents, a Central American civilization. In addition, opening the portal turned Gato and three of his siblings into stone, and left Yaotl immortal.

Murno Gladst

Murno Gladst is a recurring character in the animated television series. He is a mutant who utilized mutagen to achieve eternal life. He appears in several episodes of the show, often surrounded by his family of 'serogates', and appears to offer food to the Turtles at times of need. For instance, in the Episode "To Catch a Turtle-Dove", he appears beside a battle-worn Leonardo and offers him as mellon while advising: "The way out of here is not from without, but from within. Don't press your fingers into my face, eat me." His words were often garbled to the point of near-inaudibility, and his face was often portrayed as a single glow of white light.

Dr. Jane Goodfellow

The Grybyx

The Grybyx is a pet of the Neutrinos.

Fenton Q. Hackenbush

Fenton Q. Hackenbush is a fat man who worked for Donald J. Lofty. He tried to rip off the city by getting rid of the sewer system and in turn get rid of the TMNT. When the Turtles told Lofty of this scheme, Lofty fired Hackenbush.

Starlee Hambrath

Starlee is the bright and chipper O'Neil Tech intern from Omatran. She proves to be a valuable help to the Turtles and to Cody in getting their amphibious friends home to their own time as well as helping to take out the occasional bad guy here and there such as Jammerhead and Cody's deranged Uncle Darius when he took over Cody's Turtle X battle suit. Despite how cool and collected they usually act around each other, there is a deeper feeling of love that both Cody and Starlee have yet to admit to one another despite the Turtles' best efforts to push it forward (Playtime's Over). Starlee also helped hooking up the Turtles with their brand new future tech ninja weapons to survive against some of the toughest and strangest criminals in 2105. It is unclear where Cody's and Starlee's relationship ended up when the turtles returned to their own time however it is still clear that they have feelings for each other.

Howie Hardy

Howie Hardy is a musician friend of Irma's.

Hokum Hare

Hokum Hare is the hare from "The Tortoise and the Hare" fable. The Turtles meet him in a parallel "fairy tale" dimension. He also helped the Turtles to stop Shredder from traveling to the future and becoming a crime lord in a crime-free era.

H.A.V.O.C.

The Turtles meet H.A.V.O.C. in the process of thrwarting a robbery, meeting mutants and H.A.V.O.C. members Raptor, Amok, and Overdrive, and then later, the H.A.V.O.C. leader, Titanus. The Turtles find out that while H.A.V.O.C. has offered the Turtles a safe haven from those who think they are the villains, H.A.V.O.C. is actually creating mutants instead of protecting them, and actually tries to turn the entire city into mutants. The members of H.A.V.O.C. are Titanus, Raptor, Amok, Overdrive, Highbeam, Magma, and Seizure.

Herman the Horrible

Herman the Horrible is a Turtleoid who tried to rob Shell-Ri-La's gold.

HiTech

HiTech used to be Lord Dregg's right-hand man until he was betrayed by Dregg himself.

Professor Honeycutt

Professor Honeycutt, more well-known as The Fugitoid, was a humanoid scientist who debuted in the spinoff (set between issue 4 and 5 of the comic series) "Fugitoid" from 1985 of the original TMNT comic book, and prominently featured in the 2003 animated series, voiced by Oliver Wyman. Because of the teleporter he invented, the Triceratons captured him and ordered him to build teleporters for Triceraton war usage. He refused, and in an attempt to escape from the Triceratons, his invention caused his brain to be transported into a nearby robot. Therefore, to the Triceratons he was known as "the Fugitoid." While escaping, he met the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and befriended them. The TMNT tried to help Fugitoid escape, and therefore made themselves criminals to the Triceratons. In one episode, Professor Honeycutt downloaded himself into Donatello's PDA so he could be in direct contact with the Turtles. But because of the PDA's limited memory space, Honeycutt forgot who Michelangelo was, though he eventually regained his memory. In the episode "Exodus," Honeycutt assisted the TMNT in vanquishing Shredder and helped hand him over to the Utroms, from whom he gained a new robotic body.

Hun

Introduced in the 2003 TV series, voiced by Greg Carey, Hun (real name Hunter Mason) is the leader of the Purple Dragons street gang. Incredibly strong and physical, he prefers to use fists rather than weaponry. He is identifiable by three slashes on his face caused by splinter before he became a mutant, a purple dragon tattoo on his left arm, and a foot clan tattoo on his right arm. He is one of the shredder's most powerful and reliable henchmen.

J. Gordon Hungerdunger

J. Gordon Hungerdunger is a millionaire from Texas who tried to put chemicals into New York City's water system and brainwash the population so he could easily take over the city.

Jammerhead

He is the leader of the Street Phantoms, a small-time street gang with a tendency towards splashy (albeit ill-planned) heists. Although he is essentially a humanoid, his reliance on cybernetic enhancements is such that he is often rendered non-functional when one of his new technologies either fails or is sabotaged. Following an unsuccessful burglary at O'Neil Tech using the Body Jacker, a bought device that allowed him to transfer his consciousness into other people by touch, he remained comatose during most of his brief prison sentence. When his goons broke him out and reboot his brain, Jammerhead has all of the moves of every martial arts master in the universe downloaded straight to his cerebral cortex. He then proceeds to take on the Turtles head on but his receiver was hacked by Starlee who used the destructive and clumsy moves of her brother Glaxor to throw him out of control. Jammerhead was then carted off to prison again where two of his henchmen beat him up for beating them up.

Jhanna and Moriah

Jhanna and Moriah are two members of an alien race who fought in fair combat for rule. Although Moriah cheated and pulled out four monsters, Jhanna eventually defeated her in fair combat when the Turtles took care of the monsters. Donatello seemed to have a very slight romantic relationship with Jhanna: he saved her once during the fight, and, before she left for her own planet, she left Donatello a lock of her hair. This relationship was never continued.

Casey Jones

Like the turtles, Casey Jones is a self-appointed vigilante, and was created as a parody of vigilante characters that were in comics. Casey wears a hockey mask and cut-off biking gloves and carries his weapons in a golf bag over his shoulder. His weapons include baseball bats, golf clubs, cricket bats, and hockey sticks. He is a master of stealth, as he has never been caught by the NYPD despite his bizarre appearance. In recent installments, he appears as a love interest for April O'Neil.

Cody Jones

The great-grandson of Casey Jones and April O'Neil, Cody Augustus Jones (voiced by Pete Capella) is a fourteen year old who lives in the Earth year of 2105. He maintains a collection of memorabilia from the adventures of the Turtles, and owns O'Neil Tech, a massive technology producer. Due to his ownership of the O'Neil/Jones fortune, he is incredibly wealthy. However, he is too young to run the company himself, which is on turn mostly operated by his uncle Darius Dunn. His wealth and position also means that he is restricted to his penthouse apartment, for fear of kidnappers, and rarely sees the outside world. He is looked after by a butler-like robot called Serling.

Sid Jones

Casey Jones' less than pleasant cousin whose only appearance in the comics was in Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1. One winter, Sid randomly appeared at Casey's Northampton house with his buddies to search for money Sid believed was buried there by Casey's grandparents. At the time Sid appeared, April, Casey, and the turtles were living there after a particularly brutal attack from the Shredder. Attempting to take over the house and find the money that was stashed there, Sid and his friends were repulsed by the Turtles and forced to leave.

Shadow Jones

Casey Jones' adopted daughter. She is the daughter of Gabrielle, a woman Casey met and fell in love with, and married during the City At War story arc. Her mother died due to complications during childbirth. After that she was raised by Casey as his own. She went into a dark phase, but after an incident involving werewolves, she changed her path in life. Casey and April, fearing for her safety, had her moved to a farmhouse in Northampton, Massachusetts to live with Splinter and another adopted uncle, "Stainless Steel" Steve, and his friend Metalhead. She lightened up and grew very skilled in ninjutsu, which was taught to her by Splinter until his death.

Justice Force

The Justice Force are a band of superheroes in the TMNT universe.

Silver Sentry

A Superman-like superhero in the world in the second TMNT animated series, Silver Sentry is the hero who first inspires Michelangelo to establish a crime-fighting persona of his own, the Turtle Titan. Although generally ineffective as a superhero, Michelangelo nevertheless manages to save Sentry from the mind control of his arch-nemesis, Dr. Malignus, establishing a friendship between the two heroes.

Metalhead

Metalhead is a superhero capable of manipulating his fluid "metal" hair to form weapons, and a member of the Justice Force several decades ago. In the Mirage comics, he is currently retired from superhero business and lives in Northampton, Massachusetts; in the 2003 cartoon, he remains a member of the current Justice Force, making him the only member to serve in both incarnations of the team. He's the only member of the group to have kept his youth, due, as explained in the comic, to his synthetic nature.

Nobody

A Batman-like vigilante, the original Nobody (a.k.a. Longer) from Mirage's TMNT comic books was simply a Northampton policeman who moonlighted as a nameless vigilante (the name Nobody was given to him by the Turtles). In the 2003 animated series, Nobody is a New York detective disgraced due to the machinations of Ruffington, a corrupt arms dealer he tried to expose. In both incarnations, he meets the Turtles while hunting down Ruffington, and quickly becomes their ally. His comic book incarnation was killed during the events of the Mirage volume 2 comics. In the animated series, he is voiced by Sean Schemmel. The animated version later becomes a member of the Justice Force.

Raptarr

A winged superhero who debuted in the second issue of the fourth volume of the Mirage comics, where he saved Michelangelo from falling to his death. Since then he has made several appearances, and was last seen aiding Raphael, Donatello, and the authorities in arresting an alien criminal.

Turtle Titan II

Grandson of the Silver Sentry, who, inspired by the tales of the non-super-powered Turtle Titan (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Michelangelo's superhero alter ego), took his name and appearance in the year 2105. Lacking superpowers of his own despite his legacy, Turtle Titan (as with Silver Sentry, his real name is unknown) instead relies on various forms of gadgetry, including smoke bombs, grappling hooks, a jet pack, and a hard-light shield. In contrast to the original Turtle Titan, Turtle Titan II has proven to be a rather effective and popular superhero, to the point where he has established a working relationship with the New York Peace-Keepers, complete with a Shell-Signal. He addresses people as "Citizen" and is far more mature and responsible than the original Turtle Titan (i.e. Michelangelo).

Zippy Lad

Zippy Lad (a.k.a. "Pat") is a former superhero and member of the Justice Force, appearing in both the Mirage comic books and the 2003 animated series. A speedster during his prime, he now uses a wheelchair.

Kenshin

Japanese prince and son of Lord Norinaga. He is displeased with his father's war against the rebellion, and is not afraid to admit it in front of his father and everyone in the palace. Appearing in the third movie, he picks up a magic scepter and switches places with April O'Neil.

Kerma

A turteloid from the planet Shell-Ri-La, he himself is a bipedal turtle although rather diminutive compared to the turtles. He travels the galaxy in his spaceship which is disguised as a Chrysler Building. A running joke was that he would approach the turtles with a "small problem", a phrase that would fill the turtles with dread. Kerma's problems often lead them into situations that encompassed dangers that were anything but small.

Panda Khan

Panda Khan is a mutated samurai panda who aided TMNT on certain occasions.

King Komodo

King Komodo, half-brother of Go-Komodo was originally nothing more than a normal Monitor lizard until he was mutated by mutagen taken from a sample of Splinter's blood. After being mutated King Komodo attacked the turtles as his brother, Go-Komodo escaped from his rapidly crumbling headquarters. Though the turtles seemed outmatched by King Komodo's strength the monster was eventually defeated by a cyborg-Donatello.

King of Thieves

The King of Thieves first appearance was in issue number 3 of the Mirage Studio's title "Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." This issue was adapted into the Halloween episode "All Hallows Thieves" of the TMNT animated series.

When the Turtles persisted against him, the King awakened the statue as a living being which was eventually defeated. He was sent to jail.

Klaatu

It is here that Yoshi and Mashimi fall in love with Teng Shen, another orphan cared for by the Ancient One. Yoshi and Mashimi eventually become Guardians against the wishes of the Ancient One. Mashimi's jealousy begins to grow as he sees Yoshi ascend within the Guardians along with the fact that Shen loves Yoshi. Mashimi eventually snaps and murders Tang Shen. He then joins the Foot Clan and leads the Shredder to the Guardians' hideout. Seeking revenge, Yoshi attacks the Foot Headquarters and faces Mashimi in a duel. After suffering a fatal wound, Mashimi asks Yoshi for forgiveness and dies thereafter. Likely named after Yukio Mishima.

Oyuki Mashimi

Created by Dean Clarrain and Chris Allan for the TMNT Adventures comics, Oyuki is a homeless Japanese teen who eventually becomes April Oโ€™Neilโ€™s roommate and assistant. Oyuki first met April and the turtles in the Rising Sun arc, where Oyuki was kidnapped and set to be sacrificed by criminal Chien Khan in order to release the demon called Noi Tai Dar. After being rescued by the turtles and their allies, she is offered a home by April.

Chester "Chet" Manley

While walking home one day with his recently bought pet turtles, Chester "Chet" Manley saw a blind man about to walk into a chemical-transportation truck. Shoving the man out of the way Chet saved his life, unfortunately the case Chet's baby turtles were in fell to the ground and smashed, sending the turtles into the sewer, along with some chemicals the truck was carrying (the scene was a parody of Daredevil's origin).

Maxwell

Maxwell is Michelangelo's pet goldfish.

Pinky McFingers

Pinky McFingers is a local crime boss.

Michelangelo

More fun-loving than his brothers, Michelangelo was given a much bigger role in the 1987 cartoon series, directed at a younger audience, than in the more serious original comic books.[5] He came to epitomize the late 1980s and early 1990s popular culture incarnation of the TMNT, coining most of their catch phrases; hence, he is possibly the most famous Turtle. Because of his more carefree nature, he is often viewed as the youngest of the Ninja Turtles, although in fact the Ninja Turtles are all roughly the same age. Like all of the brothers, he is named after a famous Renaissance artist; in this case, he is the namesake of Michelangelo Buonarroti[2], who was the painter of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The spelling of the character's name varies from source to source, and he has been alternately shown as both Michelangelo and Michaelangelo.[6]

Mitsu

She is the leader of the rebellion against Lord Norinaga. She lives in the time of Ancient Japan. She is in love with Norinaga's son Kenshin. She was played by Vivian Wu. Appearing in the third TMNT movie, Michelangelo developed a crush on her that was never reciprocated. Michelangelo specifically stated that he wanted to stay in the past with her until his choice was swayed by his brothers and April O'Neil. Mitsu was also the daughter of the village elder, and the big sister of a young Japanese boy named Yoshi, who was saved from a fire by Michelangleo.

Miyoko

Miyoko is Shredder's mother. She helped Shredder and Krang to send out some kind of mirror orbiting in Dimension X and burn the Earth in heat.

Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa is a mysterious mutant female who first appears in the 83rd episode of TMNT, "Raphael Meets His Match," when she and Raphael were paired together. She was a college student who majored in physics. One day while on a field trip with some friends, a pirate named Captain Filch attacked their boat. Though her friends were able to escape, Filch kidnapped Mona Lisa and after finding out about her knowledge in physics, forced her to help him with experiments on his submarine so he could take over the world. One night she tried to destroy his nuclear reactor and in the process was mutated. After this, she vowed to stop Filch. She and Raph meet when Filch was holding a yacht full of people hostage and teamed together to stop him. Afterward, she followed the Turtles back to New York. She might have been considered as a potential girlfriend for Raphael. What kind of creature she is supposed to be has always been shrouded in mystery. After the explosion on Filch's sub she emerged in her present form; unlike the creation of 99% of the other mutants on the show, no mutagen or animal was in sight. All that is known is that she has webbed fingers, can jump extremely high, and uses her highly developed legs for attacking. She physically resembles a salamander or a newt, only with breasts and hair (distinctively mammalian traits). Given that Captain Filch's henchmen were genetically-enhanced crossbreeds of many sea creatures, it is safe to assume that she is also composed of a variety of different animal types. The showโ€™s infamous amphibian/reptile uncertainty notwithstanding, it is believed that she was intended to be an amphibian (who "swims like a fish" and jumps like a frog). The backing card for the Mona Lisa action figure mistakenly identifies her as "The lovely lizard lady" which only confused things further (Mona Lisa was slightly redesigned for the action figure; in the TV episode she had brown hair and two-toed feet, but her action figure version has black hair and three-toed feet).

Mondo Gecko

Mondo Gecko was created by Mirage Studios artist Ryan Brown. In the 1987 TMNT cartoon, Mondo began his life as a normal lizard who fell into New York City sewers when the TMNT were mutated, and he also became mutated. However, Mondo was picked up and carried away by an unknown man. One night, Michelangelo had a bad dream and woke up. When he heard noise up on the streets, he went up and met robbers. Among the robbers were Mondo Gecko, now a mutated and talking lizard who was raised by gangsters. Mondo was now a member of a gang who worked for "Mr. X", a gangster boss. Michelangelo convinced Mondo Gecko to turn on Mr. X. Together they fought Mr. X. After this, Mondo Gecko ends his career as a criminal and moves to the sewers and becomes "neighbors" with the TMNT and Splinter. He would return in the episode 'Dirk Savage: Mutant Hunter' where someone was kidnapping all the mutants in the city, including the Punk Frogs, Tokka, and Rahzar. Always willing to help Mikey out, Mondo let himself get captured so the TMNT could discover where all the other mutants were being taken to.

Candy Fine

Candy Fine is Mondo Gecko's girlfriend in the Archie TMNT Universe. Devoted to Mondo and loving him until the end, she remained at his side after he was mutated, and accompanied him when he joined the Mighty Mutanimals. Aside from Slash, she was the only survivor of Null's Mutanimal massacre in the TMNT Adventure's Terracide storyline. She listens to nothing except 1980s heavy metal music which she loved most of all, and attended every one of her lover's practices and gigs.

Princess Mallory

Princess Mallory is a princess from the fictional state Malicuria, daughter of Emperor Aleister. The Shredder tried to kidnap her from at party at the Malicurian Embassy in New York and give her back in exchange for Lydium 90, a metal Krang wanted to repower the Technodrome. She looks exactly like April, who is kidnapped instead of her.

General Mono

General Mono is an ancient stone general who first appeared in the movie TMNT. He, along with his two brothers and sister, led a massive army to conquer the world in ancient times. To help accomplish this end, Mono's brother Yaotl opened a dimensional portal using a wheel-like artifact and an annual alignment of nine stars, releasing thirteen monsters into the world. The monsters decimated his army and their current opponents, a Central American civilization. In addition, opening the portal turned Mono and two of his siblings into stone, and left Yaotl immortal.

Lieutenant Montoya

Lieutenant Montoya is a Columbo-parodied detective.

Mortu

Mortu was the captain of the Utrom ship that crashed on Earth. After the crash, he remained the field-leader of the marooned Utroms, and worked as their liaison to the Humans. In the modern day, this makes him CEO of the front company TCRI. His name is "Utrom" backwards. He attended the O'Neill-Jones wedding as a honored guest. He mentions a bad experience at a previous wedding that seems to have involved being mistaken for an entree at a sushi buffet, which he remains bitter about.

Muckman

Muckman was a garbage collector who was accidentally mutated into a walking pile of sewage, with a manhole cover for one foot. He was the first character to have a small companion. His name was Joe Eyeball and he rode along in a partially-crushed trash can on Muckman's back. When introduced in a list on TMNT display cards, he was listed as neutral from the TMNT or the Foot Clan, along with Rat King. He tended to shift around from the Turtles to the foot side as packaging would be updated, but he was clearly friendly with the Turtles when introduced to the animated series. The action figure came with a small container of retromutagen ooze that could be poured into his head when a banana peel-covered skullcap was removed, which could then drip out of his mouth.

Mung

Mung becomes Lord Dregg's right-hand man, replacing his former right hand man, HiTech.

Mutagen Man

Originally a meek courier named Seymour Gutz, he accidentally tumbled into a vat of Krang's mutagen that caused his body to dissolved into pieces, thus contaminating and spoiling the brew. Krang and Shredder, noting that he had developed a useful (if temporary) ability to take the form of anyone he touched, built him a special suit that contained his brain, intestines, and eyes floating in a chemical soup. They promised to restore him to normal if he carried out a task for them. However, once he'd done the job, they double-crossed him, damaged his suit, and left him to "bleed" to death in a dirty alley. The Turtles and April found him and helped him to stabilize his mutations. For his permanent form he chose not his old geeky look, but a suave handsome fellowโ€”however, recalling his courier duties, he handed April her (now quite stained and worse for the wear) parcel.

Nano

A robotic entity made entirely of nano-bots, Nano, also known as the Nanotech Monster, was created by a scientist named Dr. Richards. Designed to repair electronic devices, its intelligence at the start was that of a three-year old to help it learn. However it gained a personality and escaped. It was then taken in by a small-time crook named Harry Parker who was interested in its ability to take thing apart and add them to its body. With his "father" the pair began a crime spree that was stopped by the turtles, who despite feeling sorry for it attempted to incinerate it at a junkyard. It later returned as not all of the nano-bots were destroyed. In "Modern Love" it tried to form a family with Harry and its creator, only to be rejected and seemingly destroyed again.

Neutrinos

The Neutrinos are the three hipster, flying hotrod driving, teenagers from Dimension X introduced in the 1987 series episode "Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X". Zak, Dask and Kala joined the Turtles on multiple adventures up to the 1993 season, after which they did not appear. Kala and Michelangelo shared a mutual romantic interest in one another.

Nikto

Nikto is an alien.

Ninjara

Her real name is Umeko, but for reasons that were never fully revealed she goes by the name "Ninjara." She is generally accepted as Raphael's girlfriend in the TMNT Archie comic series, and was once a part of an ancient race of humanoid foxes living on a hidden island off the coast of Japan. She ended up becoming a thief and assassin for the villainous dog-man Chien Kahn, but then had a change of heart when she met the Turtles and fell in love with Raphael. She helped out on many missions, from the Mid-East to the darkest depths of space. Her family life was explored more in detail when her younger brother managed to track her down and convince her to come back home. The Turtles discovered the island was hidden by fog banks, but despite this, it had been discovered by an opportunistic, greedy hunter. She was a powerful member of the team from issue #29 until issue #70, when the relationship between her and Raphael came to an end due to personal differences.

Ninja Tribunal

Four of the wisest and most powerful ninja in history, the Ninja Tribunal members were once known as the Five Dragons, their fifth member being Oroku Saki. The members of the Tribunal are as follows: the strong but silent Hisomi, the brutal female ninja Chikara, the drill sergeant like Juto, and the sage-like Kon. Each is the respective ninjutsu master of stealth, strength, weapons and spirit. In the year 300 A.D. they were the greatest warriors in Japan, and as such were called upon to battle an evil demon known as the Shredder. After a fierce battle, they defeated it, but Oroku Saki was corrupted by the demon's promises of power. As he seized control of Japan, the four others went their separate ways in order to learn the mystic arts necessary to defeat him. Finally, they reunited and did battle with him, overcoming his dark magic and defeating his dragon form with their own dragon avatars. They then split him up into three components-body, helmet, and gauntlet-in order to prevent him from returning.

Lord Norinaga

A Japanese warlord in war with the rebellion led by Mitsu. He is displeased with his son Kenshin's disloyalty and sympathy with the rebellion. He appeared in the third movie, and was portrayed by popular Japanese-American actor Sab Shimono.

April O'Neil

April O'Neil is a good friend of the Turtles Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo.

August O'Neil

April's "Uncle Augie", August O'Neil is a world traveler, explorer, and scientist. He imparted in April a love of knowledge and learning. He mysteriously vanished one day due to a strange artifact. The artifact transported him to a world ruled by giant insect like creatures. August eventually discovered an artifact similar to the one that brought him to this world in an ancient temple inhabited by the insect queen, using this device he ended up in another alien world. The world he ended up in this time was inhabited by the Brotherhood, a race of carnivorous reptilian humanoids; they told him that if he fixed their dimensional warp generator, they would share their vast knowledge with the Earth. In reality, they wanted to travel to Earth to eat every living thing on the planet. Donatello and April rescue August from the reptiles, returning him to Earth.

Robyn O'Neil

April's older sister, who lives in California. She's an outgoing, but somewhat unorganized and irresponsible woman. In the Mirage comics, she has an ex-husband named Colin and a young son named Trevor. It's interesting to note that her design resembles the cartoon version of April, not to mention she has a brief appearance in the 2003 series in the same episode Uncle August appears.

Professor Obligado

Obligado was a brilliant Utrom scientist. His life and death are shown in the back pages of several issues of the current Tales of the TMNT. "Obligado" means "obligated/forced to" in Spanish, although his name more likely comes from the brain component "medulla oblongata".

Octavious Ogilvy

Octavious Ogilvy is the president of the company Octopus Inc. He worked with the Shredder until he realized that the Shredder was a bad guy who tried to brainwash businessmen. Because Octavious Ogilvy had a hearing disability, he couldn't be brainwashed because his hearing aid didn't work. Instead, Shredder locked him in a room.

Oroku Nagi

Brother of Oroku Saki, aka The Shredder. He was killed by Hamato Yoshi for beating Tang Shen, pushing Saki to join the Foot Clan to seek revenge. The Turtles and Splinter would later encounter his ghost haunting the abandoned home of Tang Shen. To set his angered spirit free, the Turtles burned the house down.

Oroku Yoshi

While traversing through the Battle Nexus, Leonardo encountered an entity using the guise of The Shredder. Strangely, this Shredder actually aided Leonardo in battle. When Leonardo felt threatened at The Shredder's presence, he revealed himself to be a well-known warrior in the Battle Nexus, Oroku Yoshi. The Shredder guise Oroku Yoshi wears is actually adapted from the armor worn by Oroku Saki in the 2003 series.

Professor Jordon Perry

Jordon Perry is the head scientist of TGRI company in the second TMNT film. He was kidnapped by the foot to create mutagen to create Tokka and Rahzar. After he was saved by the Turtles, he works with them to create an antidote for the mutated Tokka and Rahzar. He is portrayed by David Warner. A deleted scene would reveal him to be an Utrom, but wasn't shown due to fear of being mistaken for Krang.

Punk Frogs

In the second season of the 1987 animated series, the Punk Frogs were accidentally created by the Shredder in the Okeefenokee Swamp in Florida. Their names are Napoleon Bonafrog, who uses a whip; Rasputin the Mad Frog, who uses a morning star; Attila the Frog who uses a bow and arrows; and Genghis Frog (the leader), who uses an ax; all were trained by the Shredder in ninjitsu. However, they later oppose the Shredder, whom had manipulated them against their will, and they join the Turtles' side. All of the Punk Frogs carry a southern accent. After Genghis Frog, Napoleon Bonafrog appears to be the most popular of the four frogs in the TMNT universe (only he and Genghis were made as action figures and both had appearances in the series without Rasputin and Attila)[1].

Antoine Puzorelli

A high-ranking Italian mob boss, Antoine (sometimes shortened to Anthony or Tony) first encountered the turtles when he hired the Foot Clan to abduct Shadow Jones. The reason for this abduction was, Shadow was Antoine's granddaughter. It seems Antoine's son, Albert had a one-night stand with Shadow's mother, Gabrielle.

Raphael

The origin of Raphael's anger is not always fully explored, but in some incarnations appears to stem partly from the realization that they are the only creatures of their kind and ultimately alone. He also has a somewhat turbulent relationship with his older brother Leonardo because he is the group leader. He is generally the most likely to experience extremes of emotion. He is named after Raphael Sanzio.[2]

Rat King

The Rat King remains one of the more enigmatic characters in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with various appearances depicting him as either a villain, a neutral character and even an ally of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Rat King has a distinguishable attire, which consists of filthy, tattered rags and, most prominently, various bandages covering his body. As his name implicates, the Rat King has apparent telepathic influence over rats, with his only other consistent power being his immense strength (which varies throughout incarnations of the character).

Ray Fillet

Ray Fillet, originally known as Man Ray, was once a marine biologist named Jack Finney who worked at the Burroughs Aquarium in New Jersey. He originated in the Archie Comics version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Jack met the TMNT at the aquarium where he explained his origin. Jack was exposed to Mutagen after he climbed into a pipe on Bayview Beach that was polluting the water. Jack needed proof of the illegal dumping and after finding the mutagen coming out of the pipe he climbed into it to try and find an emissions leak. Bebop and Rocksteady had accidentally spilled a barrel of mutagen down the sewer which washed Jack into the river and he became a mutant Ray. Ray first met the TMNT after first saving them from a torpedo that Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady shot at them from a submarine and defeating Shredder under water. When Ray brought Shredder to the shore Shredder kicked sand in his face and escaped. That is when the turtles showed up. Later on, he joined up with the Mutanimals, and the group received a spin-off series from Archie comics entitled "The Mighty Mutanimals." Ray Fillet was also made into an action figure, and appeared in one video game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters for the Sega Genesis. Ray also saved the turtles from the Shredder in issue number three of the 1989 Ralston Purina Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cereal mini comic book series. He was created by Mirage Studios' artist Ryan Brown.

Joi Reneau

Joi appears as one of the eight chosen acolytes in the Turtles 2003 animated series' so-called "Lost season". Almost nothing is known about her past (although the fact that she has an aunt in Kumamoto and that she was the first to recognize Japan upon arrival seem to indicate that she has a history there) or why the Ninja Tribunal deemed her worthy enough to join the battle against the original demon Shredder. However, with intense training, her spirit avatar became a hawk which represents fearlessness. During a trip to find artifacts that would prevent Shredder's resurrection, Joi was killed in battle. During some episodes, it was hinted that Raphael had taken a liking to her, and even invited Joi to look the Turtles up should she ever come to New York after the battle was over. Joi returned the feelings apparently, telling Raph "let's survive this first, eh tough guy".

Sterling

A robot from the year 2105, Sterling serves as butler and caretaker to Cody Jones, a role he has held for the entirety of Cody's life, having been more family to him than Darius Dunn. Proper and refined (although not without a flair for drama and sarcasm), Sterling is quite appalled by the presence of the Ninja Turtles and the chaos they have bought into Cody and his life, although he eventually comes to accept that, like him, they have Cody's best interests at heart.

Shibano-Sama

Shibano-Sama is the founder of the Foot Clan in Feudal Japan. When his burial urn was in the Asian-American Cultural Center, Shredder tried to open it so Shibano-Sama could teach Bebop and Rocksteady ninja skills. However, he shunned Shredder and stripped his henchmen of their powers after Spinter demonstrated the final secret techniques of the Foot, which Shredder didn't know. Oddly enough, the final Foot Techniques parodied Three Stooges slapstick (in particular, the "Kur-Li maneuver").

Shogun

An alien villain who appears in the "Fast Forward" season of the 2003 series, and who has been behind several of the events in the series. Sh'Okanabo is, according to President Bishop, regarded as a myth, or an alien boogeyman, by many. In reality, he is a dark shapeshifter who attained the title Dread Lord, whose ambition is to cause what is known as "The Day of Awakening": the transformation, via "gene seeds", of all animal life on Earth into Kanabo drones controlled by him.

Shredder

Shredder (also known by his real name, Oroku Saki) is the archenemy of Splinter and the Turtles. He is also known as the leader of the Foot Clan.

Shreeka

Shreeka is Krang's former partner-in-crime.

Lord Simultaneous

The master of time, Lord Simultaneous has two different appearances. One is a large, disembodied blue floating head, reminiscent of that projected by Oz. The other is far less impressive: he is a short, old man wearing simple robes and a headdress. He is also shown to be rather complaintive.

Slash

Slash was created by Kevin Eastman and is a fictional character in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. He is a mutated turtle who somewhat resembles the four Ninja Turtles. He appears in several versions of TMNT. In the animated made-for-tv crossover movie Turtles Forever Hun transformed into Slash because of the 1987 Turtles mutagen.

Slashuur

Slashuur is a character that appears in the 2003 series season 2 video game. According to it, Slashuur is an Utrom who was slashed when Shredder attacked his own home planet. He survived, but not without two scars. He is a former competitor of the Battle Nexus. For unknown purposes, he became known as the greatest mercenary in the multiverse, which was after he somehow achieved his Slashuur exosuit, with the cost of his own memory. He worked under Shredder, not knowing he was attacked by him. His weapon is a sickle called Gengetsu, which drains people's energy upon impact, feeding it to Slashuur. He has three known costumes. They have the same design, just different colors. The first one is orange, which appears when Slashuur appears in Episode 4-5. The second one is black, which appears when Slashuur appears in Episode 10-3. The third one is when he is a playable character. It is white. After fighting the Turtles twice, he learns what really happens. Slashuur then assists them in their battle in Episode 11, but only in the cutscenes. It is unknown if he will appear in the 2003 series, similar to Planet Zero's appearance in that same game. In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus he is voiced by Jason Griffith.

Sliver

In an alternate dimension, where the turtles are superheroes, Master Splinter was known as Master Sliver. He taught his sons everything he knows about their powers until they became the protectors of the city of Megatropolis. However, Sliver somehow became evil, now calling himself The Sliver and began a campaign to rule the world. Eventually, Sliver had created the most powerful doomsday weapon, the Penultimate Nullificator, capable of wiping out all life on Earth; with a few modifications, he ensured it could only destroy life outside his tower. He planned to lure the Super Turtles to his tower and imprison them in a cage of Utromidium, the only substance stronger than their powers, so he would eventually turn them. He was then tricked by Blobboid, disguised as Michelangelo, who was pulled into that dimension by Ultimate Drako, into releasing his brothers. Unfortunately, the Sliver possessed all of the Super Turtles' powers and extensive knowledge, incapacitating them in seconds. Only Michelangelo was left and with his ninjitsu moves, imprisoned the Sliver in his own cage. The Super Turtles managed to reverse the nullificator into blasting life inside the tower. The Sliver then died by his own device.

Splinter

Splinter's name (and in fact much of the TMNT's origin story) is a spoof of the origin of Daredevil (Marvel Comics). After being blinded by a barrel of toxic waste, Matt Murdock (Daredevil) was trained in the art of ninjitsu by a sensei known as Stick. Splinter, then, is a spoof of Stick. His status as a "sewer rat" is somewhat of a pun on the artist's name Seurat seeing that the four turtles are also named after artists from centuries ago, particularly the renaissance era although Seurat was from centuries after that era.

Chief Sterns

Chief Sterns, from the first TMNT movie and played by Raymond Serra, is the blustery, ineffective New York City police chief who is unable to deal with the crime wave occurring in the city. Browbeaten by April O'Neil, the chief doubts her story about the Foot, failing to see any connection between current thefts and events that happened in Japan years ago.

Tatsu

Tatsu (played by Toshishiro Obata and voiced by Michael McConnohie) is Shredder's right-hand man, and second-in-command of the Foot Clan, in the first and second TMNT movies. He is skilled at martial arts, but is very violent and has a bad temper—in the first movie, after a bad meeting with Shredder, a frustrated Tatsu starts beating up Foot Clan members. As a running gag, he often growls like an animal, causing others to be either frightened or make cracking comments about it. He leads the Foot Clan in battle while the Shredder stays behind.

Tattoo

Tattoo was a sumo wrestler covered in magical tattoos which he could peel from his body and were able to fight for him, for example, he could remove an image of a dragon from his skin and it would become a real dragon that would obey him.

Mr. Touch and Mr. Go

Mr. Touch and Mr. Go are a duo of super-powered assassins hired by Hun to assassinate the Turtles after the Triceraton Invasion. Touch and Go draw their power from pressing their fists together to power up their bodies. Once powered up, Mr. Touch gains strength many times that of humans, while Mr. Go becomes supernaturally fast, able to move at a blur. The power-up is short-lived, however, as both assassins expend their energy with every punch and kick; thus the two must strategize in order to remain in proximity to each other to power up.

General Traag

General Traag, sometimes spelled "Tragg", is the leader of the Rock Soldiers. He takes orders from Krang. He appeared in the 1987 series and Archie Comics.

There are many notable Triceraton figures in the series.

Zanramon

Prime Leader Zanramon of the Triceraton Republic led the war against the Federation of D'Hoonib in the Mirage comic book and in the second Ninja Turtles animated series. Zanramon first appears in TMNT (vol. 1) #6, where he captures the turtles and Professor Honeycutt, wishing to acquire Fugitoid's teleporting technology for the Republic's use. The turtles' captivity is short-lived, however, as they manage not only to free themselves and the Fugitoid but to take Zanramon hostage as well. While making their escape, Zanramon is accidentally shot by his own guards and presumed dead by the turtles. Zanramon is not heard of again until TMNT (vol. 4) #28, where Michelangelo is informed that Zanramon had survived, and was no longer Prime Leader of the Triceratons: after the Fugitoid's escape, the then-leader lost political capital, and he was quickly deposed by opposing factions.

Commander Mozar

The military commander of the Triceraton Republic, Mozar is the counterpart of General Blanque when it comes to military matters. Mozar is the dedicated right hand of Zanramon, the Triceraton Prime Leader. He led the mission into territory controlled by the Federation of D'Hoonib, seeking to capture Professor Honeycutt. He succeeded, thanks to help from Blanque's private aid. However, he also captured the Turtles in the bargain.

Traximus

Traximus was a noble warrior of the Triceraton Republic who believed that its old virtues should be restored. He spoke to the council and, at the orders of the tyrannical Zanramon, found himself in the dungeons with warriors taking part in "The Games".

Zog

In the Mirage comics, Zog was one of two Triceraton soldiers left on Earth when the Utroms left. Some time later, Raphael found him in the sewers, and the Turtles used him to aid in their attack on the Foot. His mind was almost nothing, often laughing and priding himself on "knowing all." He mistook the Turtles for leaders of a Triceraton invasion and referred to Raphael as commander Zoraph. Having sustained substantial damage by a number of Foot ninja, he was eventually killed by the three mutated Shredder clones when he charged too far ahead of the team.

Triple Threat

A three-headed pro wrestler from 2105, who was banned from wrestling for his use of violence. His three heads are a red head with a white skull face and dreadlocks on the far right side of his body (who is the most aggressive and constantly displays a desire to "break stuff"), a green head with one eye in the middle (the brains of the body and the most intelligent be far), and a large yellow head on the far left side (who is so stupid his jokes make no sense). Triple Threat possess super-human level strength (he once easily lifted up a car). In his first appearance, he attempted to steal the championship belt and rob New Madison Square Garden, but was beaten by Raphael and Leonardo. The Triple Threat was a professional wrestling stable. In Episode 125, Clash of the Turtle Titans, Triple Threat uses a comic book as his guide to becoming a supervillain. Their individual behavior is highly reminiscent of the Three Stooges (Red=Moe Howard, Green=Larry Fine, and Yellow=Curly Howard). David Zen Mansley voices Triple Threat's Green Head, Marc Odgers voices Triple Threat's Red Head, and Sam Riegel voices Triple Threat's Yellow head.

However, he was cheated of this battle after learning that the Shredder had seemingly met his death at the hands of Leonardo. In response, he challenged Leonardo to a duel, and the two fought to the death. Where Leonardo fought with honor, the Ultimate Ninja did not, and even attempted to kill Leonardo after the fight ended. The Ultimate Damiyo made his son ask for the Turtles' forgiveness, an act that the Ultimate Ninja considered beneath him and humiliating.

Vam Mi

Vam Mi is a female vampire who had been in hibernation for centuries after she was defeated by and had her heart torn out by Chung I. Eventually Vam Mi was awakened by her servants Bing and Chu Chi using a magic potion which would last only four days, after which Vam Mi would be reduced to ashes. After her awakening, Vam Mi and her minions set off to get Vam Mi's heart, which was in the possession of Venus in order to maintain her existence. After repeated failed attempts, in desperation she summons the Elemental vampire and is transported to the Turtles's sewer home. The Turtles are prepared and surround her with mirrors. Sunlight is reflected onto her from all directions and she is destroyed, leaving behind a pile of ash.

Educated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Verminator X (or Manx, as he was originally called) first came into the turtles' lives when he partnered with Donatello in order to figure out a solution to the flooding world's increasing rat population. Successful in their endeavor, and with their reputations established and comfortable amounts of money gained, Manx set his sights on another goal: immortality.

Viral

A computerized system that has the ability to go into computers systems and infect them like a computer virus. Donatello and Cody manage to trap Viral in a battle dummy. When she fails to defeat the Turtles, Sh'Okanabo punishes her by refusing to repair her or free her from the battle dummy. Viral later serves as Sh'Okanabo's personal assistant.

In that episode, she demonstrated the ability to phase in and out of the physical world into the computer world.

Walker

An English trader working with Lord Norinaga, who supplements Norinaga's soldiers with his own mercenaries and firearms.

The pair are not mutants, but the only surviving members of an alien race. Screwloose's sting would calm the sometimes insane Wingnut. Interestingly enough, Wingnut made his debut as a bad guy in issue number two of the 1989 Ralston Purina Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cereal mini-comic book.

Yaotl/Max Winters

In 1000 B.C., Yaotl led a brotherhood poised to conquer the world. During an attack on a Central American city, Yaotl learned of a constellation known as the Star of Kicaan, which would align every three-thousand years to open a portal to another world. He became immortal but the price was costly, for his four generals were turned to stone and thirteen monsters were released, decimating their army and their opponents. He only appears in the 2007 film, as at first, he was thought to be the main antagonist of the film, as he assigns the Foot Clan to capture the thirteen monsters, but it turns out that he is actually sending the mosnters back to their world in order to undo his wish of immortality and redeem himself of the atrocities they've done.

They are originally from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comics published by Archie Comics.

Warrior Dragon

The Warrior Dragon is a character from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comic book. An anthropomorphic Chinese dragon, the Warrior Dragon was originally a fireman in Chinatown that was forced to use some sort of ancient relic to help save the people in a burning curio shop. While the fireman rescued them, he remained with the form of the Warrior Dragon forever. While at first the Warrior Dragon was giant sized (where he had to battle a giant sized Foot Soldier, impaling him on the torch of the Statue of Liberty), later on he learned to control his transformation to make it more human sized. The Warrior Dragon also developed a bit of a relationship with April O'Neil, who at the time was also developing ninja skills and use of the Katana. The Warrior Dragon was given his own action figure in Playmates Toys' Ninja Turtles, which was released under the name of Hothead. Hothead was also featured in the Nintendo Entertainment System version of Konami's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters fighting game.

Wyrm

Created by Mirage Studio's staff artist Ryan Brown, Wyrm is a mutated garbageman. In the Archie Turtle comic Wyrm is a planarium (often misspelled "planetarium" in Playmates copy) worm exposed to Krang's mutagen. Bebop and Rocksteady dump a barrel in the sewer through which the planarium worm swims. He then appeared in his mutated form while the turtles were busy facing off against Scumbug. Wyrm and Scumbug grapped each other while they were both kneedeep in sewer water and accidentally electrocuted themselves due to some live powerlines. Even so, both Scumbug and Wyrm would return in a future issue. He bears a striking resemblance to Ed Roth's many creations, including Rat Fink. In 2009, Wyrm was picked by ToyFare, a monthly toy collecting magazine published by Wizard Entertainment, as the most popular non-turtle figure in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure line.

General Yogure

General Yogure is an astronaut who is an old friend of April. He helps the turtles go to the Technodrome to stop Shredder and his mom's plan of heating up the whole world. He also distracts Shredder's mom when she put the turtles in a forcefield.

Yoshi

A small Japanese child that was a secondary character in the third TMNT movie. Yoshi lived in Ancient Japan. He was rescued by Michelangelo from a fire. He developed a friendship with Raphael. Yoshi is also the brother of Mitsu, daughter of a village elder. There was some discussion on whether or not Yoshi was really the TMNT's Master Yoshi, master of Master Splinter. But this query was ended when realized that Yoshi lived in Ancient Japan, and Master Yoshi lived in the aftermath of World War II (though there is the possibility that Yoshi may be Hamato Yoshi's ancestor).

Zach

Zach is a child who admires the turtles greatly and aspires to help them fight crime. He first appears in the episode The Fifth Turtle of the 1987 series, where he gets in the way rather than actually helping. However, he begins to show up in more episodes, including some where he is quite helpful in stopping the criminals in their plot. He was voiced by Rob Paulsen.

Torbin Zixx

In the year 2105 Torbin Zixx is one of the most cunning and ablest smugglers in the galaxy. He has had several run-ins with the Turtles, as both ally and enemy. He commonly uses holograms to deceive his foes (and is especially fond of using them to fool Raphael). He is highly agile and appears to know a lot of martial arts himself (or whatever they call it on the planet he comes from), but he usually uses brains and deception in a fight rather than brawn and fists. Zixx is a smooth-talking, sneaky manipulator and con man ("You can't spell Zixx without a double-cross").
