Ninja Turtles 2: Arcade Game: 3rd Boss

Something's been bothering me about the 3rd boss in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Arcade Game for the NES. The turtles fight in City Park and there's snow on the ground. When you get to the boss, it's this blue wolf wearing a black leather jacket.

Who is this boss and how is he related to the Ninja Turtles' enemies?

His name is Tora.

From Wikipedia:
Tora is an alien bounty hunter who appears as a boss in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game. This "ten foot, half ton blizzard beast who, in 2000 years, has never known defeat" is from an ice planet called Traglodoon. Tora is hired alongside Shogun by Shredder to take out the Turtles. He fights with his fists and throws colossal pieces of hail.

It's an original character created by Konami for the game. You can assume it's Panda Kahn on steroids.

So he is created to allow the turtles to defeat him and say: Spring is Here. Clever Konami, very clever indeed

Also: he's more of a polar bear.

There was a second original boss created for the NES version of the game; Shogun, a samurai-like cyborg being with a head that came off and attacked you, as well as a naginata.

I believe he was actually the 4th boss.

Both him & Shogun are two characters that I really wanna see in toy.
