## Official Description

*"I was Leonardo’s pet until mutagen made me his equal! Leo’s my bud, but I had a bone to pick with the rest of the team—they’ve never treated Leo right! I planned to wipe out our dead weight…then Leo and I could form the ultimate Turtle team. However, now I'm right in the head. I've become the leader of the Mutanimals, and we're always ready to fight the Kraang!"'*

**- Slash**

## Description

Spike is Leonardo's pet tortoise which Leo believes is always listening to Leo about how he feels. When Spike drinks from a canister of mutagen, he transforms into a humungous mutant tortoise that turns out a lot different than Leo and his brothers. Dubbing himself Slash, he's strong, merciless, and a bully. Inside though, he has an honest heart and doesn't wish to hurt an innocent human. He even teams up with Leatherhead, Rockwell and Pigeon Pete to *protect* Manhattan.

## As Spike

### Early Life

As a tortoise, Spike was flushed down the toilet of his original owner's home, and into the sewers. Leonardo then saved him from drowning and took him in as *his* pet tortoise, who Leo has a soft spot for, and often talks to Spike about his feelings in private.

The private feelings conversation between Leo and Spike is important for Leo because he needs Spike as a sounding board for his inner thoughts and feelings. He can't reveal his feelings to his brothers so he shares them with Spike, who can't speak, but is an excellent listener. His brothers tease him about this sometimes, mostly Mikey. Spike's favorite food is lettuce leaves, which he is often seen eating. Leo often lets Spike ride around on his shoulder and his best friend.

## As Slash

When Leo confiscated a canister of mutagen from Donnie and placed it on a shelf, he accidentally dropped it as it shattered Spike consumed the mutagen and was mutated into Slash. He revealed his mutated form to Leo and offered to be his new partner as a ninja, an offer Leo accepted. While out it is revealed, he has a vendetta against the Turtles, because of the stories Leo has told him all these years. Thinking that his brothers mistreated him, Slash set his thoughts on wiping them out anyway he could. He copied Leo's moves and used them to fight. He was last seen being knocked off a large building by losing his footing, after Leo struck him in one of his pressure points.

## Biography

From their base in the future, Slash and his holographic companion Fugitoid monitored the activation of the Super-Collider and meeting of the Turtle-Gang, anticipating the potential collapse of the multiverse. Slash left for about two hours and ended up missing the incident's conclusion and caught up to the events by Fugitoid.

Upon his return, he found that the prototype of their "gizmo", made to help him make an "autonomous multiverse jump", was completed. Miguel immediately put it on and decided to jump to the 1987 series universe. Once there, Slash landed in front of that dimension's Slash and immediately tried to convince him to go with him but instead got into a argument with him about how annoying he is.

## Bio

Once Leonardo's pet tortoise Spike, Slash mutated into a larger and craggier turtle. He has a spiked shell and sharp beak, and his strength and ninja abilities are faster and tougher than the Ninja Turtles, with intentions not as admirable. Slash tries to convince Leonardo to leave his brothers behind, thinking it'll make him feel completely free. When he refuses, Slash becomes a foe rather than friend.
