Introduction
Hamato Miwa, better known as Karai, is a complex and central character in the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles television series. Originally the biological daughter of Hamato Yoshi (Master Splinter) and Tang Shen, her life takes a dramatic turn when she is kidnapped by Oroku Saki (Destroyer) after her mother's death.

  ​

  Tragedy and revenge: Oroku Saki was consumed by rage; he burned down Yoshi's house and killed Tang Shen. His daughter, Miwa, was also believed to have died, but Saki kidnapped her and trained her to be a ninja assassin.

General Appearance

Shredder is a tall, slender, yet muscular Japanese man, clad in gleaming chrome-plated armor on his chest, shoulders, arms, and lower legs, worn over a maroon suit with a dark blue cape draped over his back. His signature helmet, the Kuro Kabuto, is perhaps the most striking aspect of his appearance, masking a face that is partially burned and disfigured, to the point that he has very little vision left in his right eye.

Unlike previous incarnations of Shredder who wielded tekko-kagi in their hands, this version uses custom, partially mechanical ones integrated into his gauntlets. His armor is also larger and bulkier than previous versions, though it is streamlined and smooth at the same time. The spikes are larger, longer, and more blade-like than most previous versions.

Disfigured Face

As previously stated, this Shredder suffers a severe and disfiguring burn on the right side of his face; a considerably larger injury than the scratch marks (from Splinter) that most others possess, leaving him almost or completely blind in that eye.

General Description

The Kraang are an evil alien race from Dimension X and one of the main antagonists of the 2012 TMNT series. They are led by Kraang Prime and determined to conquer Earth and make it a habitable home for themselves.

Characteristics and Personality

The Kraang are multi-tentacled, cerebral creatures that arrived on Earth millennia ago to colonize it. They attempt to speak like humans, but often end up using redundant vocabulary. They are deadly, evil, and extremely dangerous. They are often seen in their Kraang-droids or Norman suits, wielding laser pistols as weapons.

Since their natural bodies are weak and vulnerable, they pilot humanoid androids with cockpits integrated into their abdomens. The Kraang have not mastered English and speak in a redundant and repetitive manner. When they must venture out in public, they disguise their robotic bodies with human facades that make them appear identical to men in black suits with blank faces.

The Kraang are responsible for the mutation of Splinter and the Turtles. They brought the mutagen from their own dimension, but it doesn't work as they expected, since the physical laws of our world are different from theirs. They have been kidnapping scientists to help them modify it ever since.

• Kraang Laser Blasters: These are the Kraang's primary weapons, firing energy beams slower than light. They require a charge time before firing continuously and are often equipped with a serrated bayonet for close-range engagements.

• Others: In addition to these main weapons, the Kraang also use laser pistols and electric batons.

• Tiger Claw (Takeshi): Shredder's second-in-command and a skilled assassin. His equipment includes a katana sword, a jetpack, and a teleportation portal.

• Rahzar (Chris Bradford/Dogpound): A muscular mutant and one of Shredder's henchmen. Originally known as Dogpound, he undergoes a second mutation to become Rahzar. His brute strength is his main weapon.

• Fishface (Xever Montes): A Brazilian criminal who is mutated into a fish. He uses his aquatic abilities and blades as weapons.

• Bebop (Anton Zeck): A criminal mutated into a warthog. His equipment includes a helmet with night vision, a laser cannon, and a drill.

• Rocksteady (Ivan Steranko): A criminal mutated into a rhinoceros. His equipment includes a sledgehammer, a knife, and brass knuckles.

• Baxter Stockman/Stockman-Fly: A mad scientist who works for Shredder. He creates mutants and weapons for the Foot Clan. He eventually mutates into a giant fly. He uses his intellect and technology to create weapons and devices.
