Donatello the Ninja Turtle Wiki

## Welcome!

Hello, and thank you for accepting your one true turtle overlord.

This is Donatello the Ninja Turtle Wiki: a very new community that was created on 31/03/2019. The reason it exists in the first place is because I really freaking love Donatello, and hopefully you do too because he is all you will be seeing here! Feel free to discuss the character or help us expand by adding and editing pages. Our only rules are as follows:-

### Rules

1. **All pages must be related to Donatello**. Mentioning the other characters is fine, but make sure it always draws back to him. *However* you are free to talk about anything TMNT or off-topic within comments and discussions.
2. **Be nice.** This rule is over-encompassing and it also means no racism, harassment, spam, etc.
3. **No Donatello hate.** Just kidding, you can dislike him if you want, but please go someplace else if you're here to witch hunt. I mean, this is a Donatello Wiki! What did you expect?

## Who the Heck is Donatello?

As the name of this wiki would suggest, he is one of the four titular protagonists spanning the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. Donatello initially appeared in Issue #1 of the original Mirage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic, published in May 1984. Like his brothers, he was a pet baby turtle that fell down the drain and mutated from a canister of radioactive ooze into a large, anthropomorphic turtle. The four were then found by a rat named Splinter, who also mutated, and took on the role as their adoptive father and mentor in the art of Ninjutsu. Donatello's signature weapon is a simple wooden bō staff.

Of the creators of the franchise, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the latter's favourite turtle is Donatello. Eastman's being Raphael. Donatello is objectively the best turtle, possessing a sufficiently greater level of intelligence over his brothers as well as a natural affinity for technology and gadgets. Without him, the turtles would be without many of their iconic vehicles and communicative devices. And where his brothers will argue amongst themselves, he acts as a more kindly, sensitive figure, nurturing them or attempting to set his family at ease. His intellect providing him the traits of mellowness and understanding.

Although not the strongest turtle (Raphael), the most friendly, upbeat one (Michelangelo) or the most levelheaded (Leonardo), he is certainly gifted in his smarts and diplomacy and has been shown to be very useful in comparison to his brothers who typically provide either combat or comic relief. Ultimately, it is up to you what turtle you prefer, but if you are on this wiki then chances are you also share the de facto opinion that Donatello is the best.

### October Patch Secret Boss

This Secret Boss was included in the October Patch Update for Act 1 and can be fought after completing Act 1 by defeating the Act 1 Boss. To encounter this boss, the player must find a secret shed completely unrelated to the one encountered in Jekyll's Sidequest located somewhere in the town of HorrorVale. Within this shed is an item the player can acquire to then fight the secret boss included with Act 1. Be warned, as the difficulty of this secret boss will require the player to have recruited both Jekyll and Wraps before fighting it and be well equipped with bottles of Flu. What? You thought we were going to give you details of where the shed is or who this secret boss is because we're a wiki? Well it wouldn't be a *Secret Boss* now would it then?
Grave Hands

Grave Hands is a Red Name Enemy, and serves as the mini-boss of HorrorVale Heights that the player must defeat before reaching the HorrorVale Lab.

## Gameplay

While climbing HV Heights, the player will encounter holes in the mountain with arms that reach out of them. Being hit will cause the player to take some damage. After progressing past Hodgepodge Hideaway, the player will begin climbing further up the mountain, only to find long arms reaching out of the ground and quickly approaching them. After reaching the edge of the cliff, Grave Hands will emerge and engage the player in battle. To be defeated the player must instead target the cliff below him and destroy it.

## Trivia

* Due to the majority of players missing the hints to defeating Gravey in the form of the bedsheet ghost who precedes the Lightning Spirit's, and the sign on the cliff, Gravey has a reputation for causing most players to end up getting a game over at least once.
* Grave Hands is a nod to Dead Hand, the miniboss of the Shadow Temple from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
* During the MYM: Ruby Edition, Grave Hands served a role similar to a mascot for the contest, appearing on the announcement images.

The Great Chase

Following the events of the previous issue, the turtles help April back out of the sewers. Later, they return to find their home in ruins and Splinter abducted. Leo orders Donatello to search for Splinter while looking out for the cops. When there's no sign of him, the turtles turn to April for help.

The four of them join April in her van, with Don sitting at the back on the left side. However they soon become involved in a car chase with the police when the van is mistaken for one used by a gang of thieves. Don stays quiet for most of this, occasionally offering April directions alongside his brothers.

After they lose the police, they successfully make it to April's apartment. Don enters behind his brothers while carrying a bag of their belongings. The turtles are exhausted, and quickly fall asleep. Don rests on the floor in front of the sofa, and when April returns, she lays blankets over them.

The Turtles' Origin is Told

The turtles face against a street gang called the Purple Dragons in an alley. As Leonardo puts it, "To my left, Donatello and Michelangelo follow suit with bo staff and nunchakus." Joining his brothers in battle, Donatello takes out one thug with his staff and another later, bludgeoning them in the head while mid air and kicking another in the chest. Once the gang is defeated, they are forced to flee when the police arrive.

Donatello helps Leonardo move the manhole cover and they return to the sewers. He and his brothers then listen to Master Splinter, who tells them of his origins and theirs. They proceed to act out their purpose, of avenging Splinter's Master Yoshi by killing the Shredder. Donatello follows his brothers to a rooftop where the turtles announce themselves.

The Shredder calls on the Foot Clan to fight them, at which Donatello attacks with his staff and says "These guys are good!". Bashing a Foot soldier in the face, he gives Leonardo a boost, who then takes out the last of Shredder's goons. When the turtles take their shot at the Shredder himself, attacking one by one, Donatello goes second. He is arguably taken out the fastest, while also receiving the most grievous wounds in being sliced by Shredder's bladed gauntlet before he is kicked away. Shredder comments on that Donatello left himself "wide open" and that he was "much too slow".

Once they start fighting together, Donatello knocks off the Shredder's mask and hits him in the back. However Don is soon caught off guard and kicked away again while saying "This is the end for you, Shred--". The Shredder makes a comment on Donatello being "overly confident", and even Leonardo says that perhaps he is, but perhaps not, once Leonardo runs his sword through the Shredder's chest.

The turtles offer Shredder a chance to redeem himself by allowing him to end his own life, however he threatens to take the brothers down with him. Revealing a thermite grenade, Donatello quickly throws his staff and knocks it out of his hand. Saving the four of them, while also inadvertently killing the Shredder as he falls from the roof top. In the aftermath, the turtles express their exhaustion, and Donatello mentions that he'd like some tea.

Plum

Official Artwork of Plum by BatWorks Software

Plum is a character in HorrorVale. She is a recruitable party member and an unhinged goblin with quite the appetite for candy, specifically of the Netherling variety.

## Etymology

Plum typically refers to either the kind of fruit or the closely related shade of purple.

## Recruiting

Plum is an optional playable character. She is first met in act (?) at (Location) where Alice (Interacts) before Plum joins the team.

## Design

Plum is a green-skinned goblin with curly purple-pink hair that covers her eyes and a set of sharp white teeth. On the left side of her visible face three dark freckles can be seen above her mouth.
Her clothes consist of red overall shorts over an orange t-shirt. She wears pink-and-white striped leggings that stretch to her red bell-tipped shoes and from below her orange shirt's sleeves appear to be similar sleeves that cover her arms up to her white gloves. She wears a conical hat with three colored stripes of white, yellow, and orange from top to bottom. At the very tip of this hat is a large bell.

## Abilities

In combat, Plum is an offensive character whose primary ability is to achieve a sugar high that allows her to go berserk and deal tremendous damage. When it ends, she enters a crash state so effective use of Plum revolves around helping her to recover from her sugar crashes.

## Trivia

* During Make Your Monster: Diamond Edition, Plum was secretly entered under the alias of "Floss". To keep from being too obvious an actual party member, it was decided Plum would be redrawn by one of the testers.
* Plum has a distinct resemblance to Mr. Mint from the Candyland series. When this was brought up to the lead developer, he noted that unlike many Horrorvale characters who are clear parodies of certain characters, Plum's resemblance of Mr. Mint was not intentional and was more likely from subconscious influence from being exposed to the Candy Land franchise as a kid.
