List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series) characters: Difference between revisions

* '''[[Leatherhead (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)|Leatherhead]]''' (voiced by [[Peter Lurie]]) - An [[American alligator|alligator]] that was originally owned by a young boy until his parents found out and flushed him down the sewer. The Kraang took him to their dimension, mutated him, and experimented on him. Leatherhead eventually escapes from the Kraang, steals the energy source that powers the portal between the Kraang dimension and Earth, and retreats to the sewers. The Kraang locate and attack Leatherhead, to demand the return of the power cell. The Turtles witness this event and Michelangelo urges his brothers to help intervene. The Turtles protect Leatherhead, restore his health, and keep the power cell from the Kraang. In "TCRI," Leatherhead tells the Ninja Turtles where the Kraang's base is by drawing the shape of the TCRI building. Leatherhead helps the Turtles by attacking the Kraang while the Turtles make their way to the top of TCRI. Leatherhead even helps to fight Traag which ends with Leatherhead dragging Traag back to Dimension X.

 

 

* '''[[Foot Clan]]''' - An evil ninja organization led by Shredder.

** '''[[Shredder (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)|Oroku Saki/Shredder]]''' (voiced by [[Kevin Michael Richardson]]<ref name=variety/>) - One of the main antagonists of the series and leader of the Foot Clan. Once friends in Japan, Oroku Saki (Shredder) and Hamato Yoshi (Splinter) fell in love with the same woman, Tang Shen. Tang Shen ultimately chose Splinter, and the mens friendship ended. Shredder's jealousy turned to anger and hatred. When Shredder sought to finish Splinter, their battle resulted in a fire that killed Tang Shen and Miwa, burned down Splinter's home, and disfigured part of Shredder's face. Years later, Shredder learns that Splinter is alive and in New York after noticing the Hamato clan crest imprinted on a [[shuriken]] during a television news report. Seeking to finish his business with Splinter, Shredder and his Foot Clan relocate to New York. The Turtles first encounter Shredder in "The Gauntlet" where he dominated them all in combat. Shredder almost kills Leonardo, but the distraction of the newly-mutated Xever, and Chris Bradford, gave the Turtles the chance to escape. In the same episode, Shredder is shown to have a pet [[Akita (dog)|Akita]] named Hachinko. Shredder is also Karai's father, as seen in "New Girl in Town." In "The Alien Agenda", Shredder didn't believe in the Kraang until Karai brought him the robot body of one of the Kraangs. As Baxter Stockman gets to work on studying the technology, Shredder assigns Karai to learn more about the Kraang so that he can use whatever information is gathered about them in his war against the Turtles. In "Karai's Vendetta," Shredder interrogates a captured Kraang (even when Karai informs them on how they work their exo-skeletons) on why they have been hunting the Turtles and learns that they are protecting April O'Neil. Shredder ends up sending Karai to capture April in order to draw the Turtles to him. Richardson previously voiced General Aguila in the 2007 film, ''[[TMNT (2007 film)|TMNT]]''.
