* TheTeam: A traditional Five Bad Band in season one until about halfway through season two, with Shredder as BigBad, Bradford as TheDragon, Xever as TheBrute, Stockman as the EvilGenius, and Karai as the DarkChick.

** Shredder is the BigBad and leader of the Foot Clan. Tiger Claw is TheSixthRanger and the Foot Clan's second-in-command. Karai was the free spirited DarkChick, who had [[DatingCatwoman romantic tension]] with TheHero, and was caught in a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor.

* DragonWithAnAgenda: Starting with season two. She's later demoted back to TheDarkChick, much to her chagrin, when Tiger Claw joins the Foot Clan. She was never seen in the episodes between "The Manhattan Project" and "The Wrath of Tiger Claw", so it's unknown if she became TheDragon again.

* LaughablyEvil: His dorky demeanor and tendency to get angry over the Turtles insulting him made him quite entertaining. He loses this trait briefly after he becomes a fly mutant, however, but even after becoming a source for comic relief, he's not ''quite'' as LaughablyEvil as he once was. Even after becoming a fly mutant however, he still has plenty of genuinely comedic moments such as when he gets into a WimpFight with Pigeon Pete in the episode, "Clash of the Mutanimals".

* WeHaveReserves: {{Deconstructed}}: Shredder is largely unconcerned with throwing his troops at the turtles no matter how many that get beat up...which results in him running out of trained ninja and having to resort to grabbing anyone they could recruit.

* ConservationOfNinjitsu: The effectiveness of the inner circle (besides Shredder, Tiger Claw, and Rocksteady) tends to wane when just one or two of them faces the Turtles. However, as a unit, they're definitely a force to be reckoned with. They not only curb stomp the Turtles in "The Fourfold Trap", but they also manage to hold their own against a horde of Triceratons.
