FusionFall Headcanons: Terrorpins

Never smile at a crocodile--and that goes doubly so for this double-mawed monstrosity! Lurking primarily in murky areas, Terropins will patiently wait to scope up any prey within range of their jaws. If you can help it, this is one beast you do not want to wrestle with.

Fuse and his army of spawns appear to be just as confused about the difference between alligators and crocodiles as we often get, because the Terrorpin shows traits of both. Seen in concept art, while it has a gator's more rounded snout(s), its fangs can jut both up and downward on the outside of its twin mouths (granted, we don't see as many in the upward position). Like alligators, these things exist around bodies of freshwater; however, like crocodiles, they are extremely aggressive and, due to their fusion matter makeup, they're actually fine in both salt and fresh bodies of water. They can exhibit both solitary and social habits. As such, this distinction is less important than the one between the monster's variants.

SIDE NOTE: Based on the name for the concept art file itself as well as their shells, these monsters are also heavily based on snapping turtles. However, as they lack a lure-like tongue to catch prey and have so many more similarities to gators/crocs, the snapping turtle influence seems to be more minimal outside of defenses and ambush habits already present in all three animals.

Terrorpins can be found anywhere from the Wilds to the sewers in the City. However, as the latter case only occurs during the time of the Academy and there's not really anywhere for them to naturally come from nearby, it's likely that they were brought to the City rather than spawned there initially--following the myth of alligators in the sewers based on how pets from the southern USA were brought to places like NYC. By the time of the Academy, fusion fighters in the City pretty much dominated fusion monsters in urban warfare. As such, to try to get a stronger hold of those areas, more spawns were created/migrated to them. The Terrorpins would be one of these species, attaching them to the myths as a means of catering to human fears. Attacking the City underground also succeeded in giving Fuse a base of operations in the City that wasn't as easily disrupted as any would be on the surface.

From their description, Terrorpins are noted to have only one weak spot: The head. This is due to the rest of their bodies being covered in that heavy, shell-like armor. Still, we never see them draw within their shells as turtles do.

Because of their shell and the double set of jaws, they can't kill their victims in the same way a normal alligator or crocodile would--by rolling their bodies violently to shake and beat their prey. If they attempted this, especially when fighting on land or in shallow waters, they're more than likely to get stuck on their sides or backs and risk exposing their somewhat softer underbellies. Instead, they crush and tear at their targets. Like crocodiles, their jaws are strong enough to shatter bone. Having two jaws means that they can attack two vitals areas of the body at once for large targets, and their jaws are capable of stretching apart from one another somewhat in order to rip at their prey further.

If you get caught in their teeth, chances of escape are slim, so it's best to fight at long-range when you can. If not, you might be able to jump on their backs and attack from the top of the head. While this can be an effective strategy at times, just keep in mind that they do have spikes meant to prevent this from happening, as well as fusion matter oozing between their armored plates.

Like real crocs and gators, the Terrorpins have pretty good eyesight--especially since they have an additional, forward-facing third eye. However, due to the massive shells on their backs, they can severely lack visibility from behind. Chances are though, you might not be able to see faster, as they have excellent camouflage from being made largely of twisted, gnarled wood.

Interestingly enough, while fusion monsters rarely show a need to eat, Great Terrorpins are one of the few that actively do. Their description notes that they constantly catch fish that drop from the Forgotten Falls--and warn the reader that they'll hunt down fusion fighters as well. Regular Terrorpins may also "eat" their victims, but this would indicate that the Great Terropins have a truer/much larger appetite and are more violent as a result. It may also indicate a sneakier nature more like the real animal/s they are based on, as they are willing to lie along familiar paths in-wait for prey. We see them do this out of the water as well, near the main path at the top of the Falls that fusion fighters often travel by.

Forgot to post but that’s one strange looking dog. What type of dog do you think he is?

new tmnt iteration concept

tmnt iteration with a horror spin on it...tmnt: TERROR-pin

[ahc-au]

What if other Dark Turtles got Lazer blasted and taken in to the penthouse for treatment of his injuries

Like purple would have got every system hacked and letting the others infiltrate but I doubt that would happen because nobody except himself could use the Terrorpin

Well Red could've got a huge appetite than the others but it needs to be more cautious to handle the big guy OH boy

But Yellow would eventually get along well with Mikey like his childish nature(That's why he's my favorite) but got headsmacked(?)

Hmm.. let's remember that these are AHC versions of them, buuut...

Purple would definitely be the hardest to win over. I think with the history that Donnie has reflecting on who Purple is (shoutout to all the headcanons about Purple looking like a lizard because of Donnie's second mutation), the Splintersons would also be more inclined to try and help, though. It's a 50/50 chance on whether Purple goes "fuck you, don't baby me, I'm killing all of you <3" or whether he reluctantly adopts some of their mentality.

Red would probably be stubborn but realize eventually that he's having an okay time and actually likes these people? And might openly side with them against his brothers, too! Why would he fight these people who are nicer to him than his own brothers? I think Raph would be really, really weird about Red, though. Mostly forrr spoiler reasons ^v^

Yellow.. man. Yellow and Mikey would not get along on account of how much energy they both have? They'd compete at everything, although the bonus to this might be that Yellow accidentally ends up genuinely trying to impress Splinter and the other turtles, and bonding with them in the process? And then he's like oh! Wait this is fun!! And people aren't constantly calling me an idiot?? Wild!

And mannn now I'm imagining how that episode would go with different Dark Turtles getting shot. Someone should get on that, tmnt fandom please I summon thee-

Since the dark turtles cannot use the Terrorpin due to the assault of tech turtles. Does that imply the hover combat vehicle has taken over by the robotic four ?

No. In the story, the dark turtles get chased out of the building. They just can't reach it. The Tech Turtles go after them, and that's when they realize they're going to die if they don't get help, so they go to the penthouse to get help from the turtles. The Terrorpin is still with Darius.

I love you Garter Snake, I love you Anthrax, I love you Queztalcoyotl, I love you Beelzebuzz, I love you Lord of Flies, I love you Ball-Buster, I love you Terrorpin. I love how none of you look like the same person because you always change your build and height and gender presentation for every transformation. I love how you make yourself a curvy shortstack as Pavino and then the skinniest little emaciated fuck known to man as Anthrax and then as a brick shithouse 7 foot tall Amazonian goddess as Bugbite and then sometimes a person with the top half of a Beedrill. I love drawing you and I need to draw you more.

Full Backstory of the Sunless Citadel my players are exploring:

In Millennia Past the Giants and the Dragon fought a great war that devastated the world. Flying fortresses were constructed as a.safe haven to those small folk who would otherwise have been eradicated in the crossfire between the two.

Smoke from the forges of fire giants blotted out the sun, and frost giants froze the world over and the storm and cloud giants led assaults from the skies. The world was blanketed in a three year long winter before the giants were forced to leave The Prime Material plane.

The sky fortresses returned to the ground, and were lost to time. One such fortress eventually became a monastery whose residents dedicated themselves to the art of the hammer, both on the battlefield and in the forge. Eventually this Order of the Hammer was blessed with a champion, a half-dragon half-tortle sorcerer by the name of Terrorpin whose mastery over flame was unmatched. Terrorpin was able to revive the fortress and take it to the skies once more.

In the Marsh Mountains myconids would walk the surface, and there Terrorpin would find the princess Celia whose affection he sought. Upon rejection he rained fire upon her kingdom, until Princess Celia was able to call upon the power of the stars to remove the fortress from the skies where it sank into the unstable swampland.

Centuries have passed, and the ruins have become home to Kobolds and goblins but were mostly ignored. Five years ago a Druid showed up, travelling with another companion and took residence in the lower levels of the fortress, using the goblins as his servants. Since then the goblins have been selling strange but magical fruits to the nearby township.

Oh my god, what did you do!?

Terrorpin, let's help our buddy out!

Any luck on the Nidoran front?

Uh…not on the Nidoran front…but…

…help me!

[scarceghost]

What if life could be a dream????? Huh??? What if a father and his tortoise son were a little sleepy???????

[acerbicaccoster]

[ahc-au]

What if all four if them accidentally got shot ，would the redemption arc gone faster ?

if you got shot and i got shot then who's driving the Terrorpin??

[bluepeachstudios]

Sorry I didn't clarify it

what I mean is does that mean the ownership of Terrorpin has transferred to the tech turtles since the dark turtles have left Darius and no longer under his "employment" ?

There's not really a strict "ownership" over the Terrorpin? The dark turtles can't get to it, and it's in Darius' possession because it's still at the warehouse.

Terrorpin the Carracosta

Poor Terrorpin, if he has any official art, I wasn’t able to find any...  Specter of Torment was pretty surprising in just how different all the fights were.  The addition of Terrorpin to the Black Knight battles was perhaps one of the most surprising.

Been plotting,planning,waiting: wanted to have a dedicated shelf,shrine,whatever to the most important fictional characters in history to me #Tokka and #Rahzar ..artists like @EMannLand, @Adrianbarrios,@kevineastmantmnt ,@superrobot74 ,@cluepac, #SophieCampbell,@jimlawsontmnt ,me n a couple other designers are amoung the few to actually create designs for expanded media :i.e. animation,comics,games ect. pertaining to official creations ..about 9 years ago I started building an #URN for the "#Tokka #ashes" ( actually flecks of #foamlatex from one of the original Tokka movie costume claws.. but it was missing one piece to make the urn whole.. a portrait of Tokka himself by the man who incepted him. #Tokka originally WAS #Terrorpin - Terror now mostly is an entirely separate character ( from a certain point of view ) - but #RyanBrown,#SteveMurphy helped guide that once actually rejected toy design to the #TMNT2 movie. What I'm trying to say..after almost 30 years #SRBissette has agreed to make a small portrait of #Tokka for the urn. This is the first time he has drawn the character as Tokka and not #Terrorpin in Bissett's entire creative history!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CEtJfYmg4YW/?igshid=k7urzev6veor
