=Notable Characters/Species=
*'''Splinter & Hamato Yoshi:''' Depending on the continuity, these characters may either be the same or separate. 
*'''Oroku Saki/Shredder:''' ''The'' iconic villain of the series.
*'''Leonardo:''' Traditionally the leader of the TMNT, with only the ''Rise of the TMNT'' cartoon being an exception.
*'''Donatello:''' "The Smart Guy" of the TMNT, with a knack for gadgetry and gizmos.
*'''Raphael:''' The hotheaded, bad-tempered brawler of the TMNT.
*'''Michelangelo:''' The laidback party dude of the TMNT.
*'''April O'Neil:''' Traditionally the first if not only human ally that the TMNT acquires.
*'''Casey Jones:''' An angry young man who, sick of the crime in New York, tried to go [[Marvel Comics|Punisher]] and clean up the streets as a vigilante, roaming around after dark and beating the shit out of muggers, rapists and junkies.
*'''Baxter Stockman:''' Mad scientist who tried to get rich with an army of vermin-hunting robots. Spent some time as Shredder's "tech guy" henchman in the Fred Wolf cartoon before being deemed disposable and accidentally mutated into a human fly. Brutally mutilated for each successive failure in the 2003 cartoon.
*'''Utroms:''' A species of aliens that look like a cross between a jellyfish, a human brain, and a face. Use mechanical exoskeletons with cockpits in their stomachs to walk incognito amongst humans. Created the mutagenic ooze that created Splinter and the TMNT in the Mirage comics and 2003 cartoon.
*'''Kraang:''' Introduced in the Fred Wolf cartoon as an alien warlord who had been dismembered down to his still-living brain and banished to Earth, causing him to team up with Shredder in hopes of reconquering his home in Dimension X. The 2012 cartoon reinvented the Utroms as a race of extradimensional conquerors called "The Kraang" in his honor. Appears as an evil Utrom warlord in the IDW comic.
*'''Triceratons:''' Brutal, conquering race of aliens who look like humanoid [[dinosaur|triceratopses]], introduced in the Mirage comics.
*'''Bebop & Rocksteady:''' Two dumb street thugs mutated by being fused with warthog and rhinoceros DNA in order to give Shredder some more powerful thugs to take on the TMNT. Debuted in the Fred Wolf cartoon, and reappear in most media thereafter. Eastman and Laird hated the pair, and even created the mutants Tokka and Rahzar in the 2nd 90s movie to mock them.
