| “ | The Foot have existed for centuries, rodent - hidden in the deepest dark, striking out at our enemies when they least expect it, then vanishing into the night until called upon by our master to strike again. We are assassins. We are thieves. We are warriors. We are ninja. | „ |

Biography[]
The Foot Clan consist of a multitude of faceless ninjas who exist to do battle with the heroic turtles and although they tend to fall rather easily they are anything if persistent and continually return to take more punishment. Some versions also reserve their more skilled soldiers just in case a bigger threat appears.
Aside from using ninjas as soldiers, the Foot has been known to associate with gangsters, robots, mutants and even aliens and demons throughout their different interpretations. They appear in the Mirage Comics, Archie Comics, and the IDW comics. The founders from the Mirage Comics are named Sato and Oshi, while in the IDW comics the Founder is Takeshi Tatsuo who was reincarnated as Oroku Saki, the man who would eventually become The Shredder.
The Foot Clan members in the modern times and leader is Shredder who is usually the primary antagonist of the TMNT series but other leaders aside from him are Karai who was originally someone used to replace Shredder in the Mirage Comics, but in later installments became his adopted daughter or, like in the IDW comics, biological descendant.
Baxter Stockman would also join the Foot in some versions, aiding them with his scientific knowledge and his deadly inventions, like the Mouser Robots.
Other members include the Foot Elite and the Foot Mystics, as well as some Foot Scientists, although these are mostly seen in the 2003 animated series.
Bebop and Rocksteady are often seen as members of the Foot during their debut in the 1987 show and would since appear in many incarnations like in the Archie and IDW comics, or the 2012 series.
The Purple Dragons also work for the Foot in some versions, with Hun, their leader, being one of Shredder's enforcers.
Other members include Ktisune, Koya ,Bludgeon, and Alpoex from the IDW comics, Tiger Claw and Fishface from the 2012 animated series, and Tatsu, Tokka and Rahzar from the movies.
The Foot sometimes ally with Krang, a warlord from Dimension X while in other incarnations they can be considered rivals for world conquest.
