What should Karai mutate into?

[snake]

So if this is happening (And I'm sure it is) what should Karai mutate into even if it's temporary?


I'd say something agile and swift, something she can still be a ninja in.

[Powder]

Either a rat, or a turtle. Being a rat, she could see life through her fathers eyes, which could help improve their relationship. As a turtle, it's a funny nod to Venus, and lets her fall into the sister role a lot easier.

[NinjaPug]

I think a fox would be a good fit but it would draw too many Ninjara/Alopex comparisons.

[Vicky82]

A Fox so Karai could become Ninjara.

[Ultimate Ninja]

I don't want a mutant Karai, but if she does mutate, I like the idea of a fox.

[Luckyday]

Well if I was the Shredder then probably a snake to bring more insult to injury towards
Splinter's mutation as a rat.

[CyberCubed]

If she mutates and stays mutated past the finale I think it will be a shark jumping moment. I think Ciro knows better.

[Leofan26]

I hope it doesn't last long if she does, ask for the question a fox would be a good one for her.

[blindturtle02]

I'd also like to see a fox mutant, but am doubting this will happen. Whatever she mutates into, I'm sure she'll wipe the floor with somebody. Golden mongoose, maybe? Aw I dunno. It could be something no one is expecting, knowing Ciro. That's a good thing, though.

[RaphAndDonnie]

A fox or maybe a cat though if she does mutate I'd hope it'd be a temporary thing.

[CyberCubed]

Females tend to mutate into feminine animals, so a fox sounds very likely.

[CowabungaMikey]

Tokka. Definitely Tokka.

[BabyTurtles]

Alopex >:U

[drgon78]

A Fox or Cat.

[rickwj324]

I may be in the minority, but I have a feeling she won't be the "1 more mutation" that Shredder was talking about... I could be wrong though.

If it was karai, then I would think either a snake or cat would be fitting as both eat rats/mice.

Maybe Donnie will have created another batch of retromutagen to be used for Splinter, but Splinter will choose to cure his daughter instead.

[Shiro Kame]

A turtle or cat.

[Coola Yagami]

For all we know the '1 more mutant' could have been something else, but it accidentaly winds up being Karai.

[miru]

Just a bigger, spikier Karai.

[Shark_Blade]

Venus, so Leo can bang his step sister.

[MCLeo28]

I do agree with this notion. I am honestly hoping Kuro Kabuto gets to become the mutant Shredder wants to have.

However, I guess even if Karai wasn't intended to be the mutant, she'd still fit in Shedder's plans because apparently, Stockman knows how the mutagen functions given how he can create 76 specific animals.

[pennydreadful]

My first impulse is to say "fox", but Alopex and Ninjara are both distinctive characters with their own history; I feel it'd be doing them a disservice to combine them with Karai.

A cat would be suitable as it has the fluidity of movement and would give space for some nice character beats between her and Splinter; my one issue with it is that it seems a bit gender-stereotyped (the cats = feminine assumption).

It could be interesting to see some type of arachnid mutation - think less Spyderbites and more Black Arachnia from Beast Wars; some of Karai's movements have always seemed a little spider-like to me.

[electric_sheep]

Something that wouldn't look to wierd with boobs, a frog maybe?

[Luckyday]

Something that wouldn't look to wierd with boobs, a frog maybe?

Or how about something that would make sense to have boobs like IDK a mammal maybe?

[electric_sheep]

That's to obvious plus we don't need to give to furries more materail...

Had to look up pics, but Black Arachnia seems to fit Karai's stature quite nicely. It would be interesting for her to mutate into something like that if she ever does get mutated.

[Electric]

Tokka. Definitely Tokka.

Oh my god. That strangely sounds likely. Ragnar is always with tokka. Well we have razhar. And it would seem possible that the last thing to touch Karai is a turtle.

[Jephael]

For some reason I'd like to see her mutated into a sloth, or just something that would be the antithesis of her personality.

[Creativecreature31]

Rouge, to initiate a Sonic crossover.

Lol wut? XD


I kinda would like to see her mutant into a cat. Would be a great homage to "The Catwoman from Channel 6" in the OT. Only this time it's Karai mutating instead of April.

When someone asked Playmates about a Karai figure, they said that "Mutated Karai" is coming in 2015. So she's getting mutated.

I've asked this many times and never seem to get an answer. Where did that Playmates email originate from? Looked like something that easily could've been faked.

Links/proof please. But yeah this awesome if it's true.

[MCLeo28]

The link has been posted many times, but that unfortunately only answers the "Where" portion.

[Garp]

I'd like to see a bird if it has to happen. I know that the mutation is probably gonna happen, but I do hope it's temporary.

[Coola Yagami]

Well let's not forget when we found out that they were making new Bebop and Rocksteadys for the new show, and some of us (myself included) just thought it was the the retro line... and here we are.

I really want Karai to be mutated and let it stick, at least for a while. That would be a totally drastic change to an established character that I really want to see.

[electric_sheep]

Pretty much all the cool animals have been done, Bat would be cool but they alredy did that, crappily...
Just mutate her into a fox and call her Alopex...
Does every charachter now has to turn into a mutant? it's geting kinda repetitive...

[pennydreadful]

Yeah, I could be kinda biased though, as I'm a big BlackArach fan! :)

I think it will be interesting if Karai does get mutated, in terms of how she'll react. Is it going to be something that'll drive a rift between her and Shredder/push her closer to Splinter and the Turtles? Or will it cause her to withdraw from all of them and strike out on her own? Will she go kind of crazy-ish, or retain her mental faculties?

There are a lot of different ways that it could play out and I'm looking forward to it, if for no other reason than we're getting a female mutant (which we don't get every day), it's Nick Karai (who I like), and it has the potential to be a lot of fun. :D So consider this fangirl excited!

[Coola Yagami]

A spider would be interesting, but we already have Spider Bytes... and it makes no sense for her to turn into some strange curvy female spider thing.... while Vic turned into a Pokemon.

[MCLeo28]

^ Why not? Vic was a fat man, and got mutated into a bulbous spider.

Karai's sexy, so she'll most likely be mutated into a sexy spider.

JK though mutagen has unpredictable properties, so who knows what will happen to her.

Why are you so hellbent on getting a sonic crossover? I'm not trying to offend you, I'm just asking.

[pennydreadful]

Fair point, I just think a spider would fit her personality - sleek, deadly, nimble... and if you try to whack her with a broom, she'll disappear under your couch and you'll spend the rest of the night looking for her! :lol:

But yeah, they probs won't want to reuse the same animal.

You're always calling him a Pokemon. He looks NOTHING like one.

[Atren]

Not really thrilled of long time mutation, but if temporary one is unavoidable I would vote for black panther.

[Garfield]

She should mutate into "Super Karai" and look and fight like she did in TMNT tournament fighters on the SNES.

That's the only "Mutation" of her that I'd like to see.


okay, To be on topic, If she has to mutate into an animal. I think she should mutate into a cat. I think it fits her. and it might parallel the strife between her and splinter in a kind of a symbolic form.

[oldmanwinters]

I hadn't really thought about Karia as a fox, but I guess it would fit pretty well.

I wouldn't say the comparison is quite out of the question:

http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/golbat
http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/golem
http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/gengar

Spiderbytez seems to borrow the stubby legs + round body + big mouth bit.

However, if we're comparing him to video game characters, Spidey-biter reminds me most of Gillwing (http://nid.wikia.com/wiki/Gillwing) from Sega's classic NiGHTS into Dreams.

[Electric]

My bets on turtle or rat. I imagine either one of the guys or splinter will try to rescue her, get a hand on her, be pulled away, then she's doused in mutagen.

That just made me think, this whole time I've been set that she's intentionally mutated by shredder, but what is she's not. What if it's an accident that shredder didn't plan.

[Papenbrook]

Maybe Karai will mutate into Mutagen Woman and make out with Timothy.

Wrong Pokemon..... Spider Bytes looks like an evil insane Oddish.

I've never made that connection, it actually fits though.

I'd always figured a Turtle to be this series' Venus or a rat like her daddy, but honestly I'd never thought of her being this universe's Ninjara or Alopex. That's kind of cool to think about.

(btw really Winters? Karia? ;) )

You know what... I'll give you that. There's a resemblance. :tlol:

I concur sir. :thumbsup:

Funny thing is, I've really had no issues with any of the creative decisions on the Nick series thus far (no, not even the fairly controversial April stuff), but when this rumor hit due to the "action figure inquiry/potential info leak," I was rather irked by it. I just don't like this idea at all. I'm sure even if it turns out to be true (which, it probably will) I will just accept it and move on, hoping they eventually undo it. And the theory about Splinter allowing Karai to change back instead of himself is a very sound one - I'd say if she does indeed end up mutating, you can bank on that being the outcome that undoes it.

[Lou 500]

Venus. *dodges incoming objects*

I just had an epiphany: Her mutation's been forshadowed this whole time; her eye make-up vaguely resembles the markings on the red-eared slider's head. That or it's just subtle symbolism for her connection to her step brothers.

[Tubuloso 1984]

A succubus.

[ssjup81]

Her 2k3 design. :P. Seriously, though, I don't want her to mutate into anything and I hope she doesn't.

[Leolead]

Something like Aloplex. IMO

[VaughnMichael]

I know I said Rat before but now I don't know why but for some reason I'm thinking Skunk.
Perhaps it's her look and the hair or something.
Plus it's a mutant that's not been done ever.

[Creativecreature31]

A Skunk WOULD be kinda cool actually.

And given how Nick LOVES Gross-out humor I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. :P

[Lou 500]

And it would just add to the humiliation for Karai; a professional ninja turned into a creature that uses projectile arse juice to defend itself. Just awful.

[TurFlytle]

Rouge, to initiate a Sonic crossover.

Why... Why.... To be serious, you're thinking too much into this.

[Creativecreature31]

Hamato Yoshi got turned into a creature that eats garbage....

[Atren]

A succubus.

That would be too much for turtles to handle.

[Artist]

Tokka. Definitely Tokka.

Ha ha ha to much ha ha and I think a hamster.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Nothing!

I hope season 2 ends with all those silly mutations being cured for good. The only mutant characters I like are:

*Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael, and Splinter

*Armaggon and Verminator X (or is Armaggon extraterrestrial?)
*Bebop and Rocksteady
*Chameleon (early Archie one, but I prefer his human appearance)
*Leatherhead
*Mona-Lisa
*Mondo Gecko
*Punk Frogs
*Ray Fillet (Archie one)
*Razhar and Tokka (if they're smarter, like in the 1987 show, and not like the second movie)
*Slash
*Tigerclaw (actually)

*I can stand Fly Baxter, but prefer his human appearance

I can stand Ninjara and Usagi Yojimbo too, but they're not mutants.
