Dean Clarrain, Ken Mitchroney, Mike Kazaleh, and Garrett Ho all worked on the comic book miniseries.

Wingnut, Screwloose and Slash (Archie's version), were all aliens from Dimension X, and Jagwar was a demigod son of a human mother and jaguar spirit/god.

[1] A new version of the Mutanimals also appears in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IDW Comic series, in which Mondo Gecko, Man Ray and Slash reprise their roles as part of its membership.

While Old Hob served as its leader, exclusive to this group are Herman the Hermit Crab, Pigeon Pete, and a mutant lioness named Sally Pride as well as a new interpretation of the Fred Wolf animated series character Mutagen Man.

Hob had obtained a large canister of mutagen and samples of Splinter's blood (containing the missing psychotropic compound).

Upon learning this, Sally renounces her allegiance with Hob, sides with the Ninja Turtles and runs for the position as Mutant Town's first mayor.

[3] After the events of the Rat King's Armageddon Game, which includes the fall of Mutant Town's walls,[4] Hob, still determined to isolate himself from humanity, moves his base to North Brother Island, but disaster strikes when Lindsey, in her efforts to "fit in", attempts a controlled partial mutation, which goes out of control and transforms her into a murderous spiter mutant, forcing Hob to entrust her to the Earth Protection Force's protective custody.

[5] An animated version of the Mighty Mutanimals debuted in the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episode "Battle for New York".

When the Turtles return, the two teams banded together to save New York from the Kraang, after settling their differences (largely regarding the animosity between Slash and Leonardo).

The group's efforts failed when Shredder betrayed them all by stabbing Splinter, and the four Mutanimals, along with all of the Turtle's allies (except for April O'Neil and Casey Jones) and enemies, then were sucked into a black hole to their deaths.

In "Mutant Gangland", the Mutanimals with Mondo Gecko as their newest member stop the Fulci twins from obtaining new-and-improved weaponry.

Slash goes with Raphael, Splinter, April and Casey to track down Super Shredder while Leatherhead, Mikey, Leo, and Donnie go fight Fishface, Rahzar, Bebop, and Rocksteady at the amusement park.

In the fourth season's finale titled "Owari", Rockwell, Leatherhead, Slash, and Pigeon Pete all appear at Splinter's funeral.

The Mutanimals, sans Mondo, Bebop, and Rocksteady, reappear in Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where they also receive a new recruit named Pigeon Pete, who was mutated from Michelangelo's blood, and work with the turtles to stop a trio of sea mutants from stealing a mass Pearl from the Natural History Museum, while also dealing with a massive storm.

After his mother left to continue her personal quest (completing "The Path of the Four Winds"), the twelve-year-old magical being lived in the rainforests of Brazil until his discovery by the TMNT in issue #14, when they were dropped off in his homeland by Cudley.

His girlfriend, Candy Fine, stuck by him even after some of Krang's discarded mutagen merged his DNA with that of his pet gecko as the band practiced in Shredder's former hideout.

Bebop and Rocksteady had accidentally spilled a barrel of mutagen down the sewer which washed Jack into the river and he became a mutant manta ray.

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.

He and the rest of the gang turn on Superfly when they realize that they have no active interest in destroying humanity and by the end of the movie, becomes part of the Turtles' and Splinter's extended family.

The pair are not mutants, but the only surviving members of an alien race after Krang invaded their planet Dexion V in the Huanu system and wiped out everyone but those two.

Wingnut originally made his debut as a villain and an ally of Shredder in issue number two of the 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cereal mini-comic book by Ralston Purina.

Old Hob is a character introduced in the IDW comics, first as an antagonist to the turtles, before becoming an anti-hero who founded the Mighty Mutanimals to protect mutants.

He was exposed to the same mutagen ooze that created the original four turtles, and shortly before his mutation took effect, he attempted to prey on Raphael, only for Splinter to come to his defense by biting off the cat's right eye, forcing Hob to wear an eyepatch.

In the 1987 series, he is voiced by Rob Paulsen and was introduced as Seymour Gutz, a nerdy mailman who became dismembered upon falling into a vat of mutagen.

Although he is told that he's being saved, Mutagen Man has a different idea of the term by forcing Old Hob's gun to his dome and urging him to fire.

Merdude appears in the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episode "Atlantis Awakes", voiced by Kevin Schon.

Ninjara, real name Umeko, is a kunoichi, from 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.

A former mercenary styling himself after Old West gunfighters, Kid Terra was originally the chief henchman of the nihilistic industrialist Null, overseeing several of his environment-destroying projects (TMNT Adventures #15).

The original Mighty Mutanimals miniseries and issue six of the regular series were reprinted by IDW in their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures collections.
