Thirteen Monsters

The thirteen monsters are a collective group of otherwordly creatures that were unleashed via a portal opened by Yaotl three-thousand years prior to the events of TMNT (2007 film). Yaotl was cursed with immortality, and only by reuniting the thirteen monsters, would he be able to finally perish in peace.

Movie
Presumably because of cuts in the film made in order to shorten the running time, very few of the thirteen monsters are seen. Others are only glimpsed briefly.

The monsters that appear with some prominence in the film include:


 * Bigfoot: The Turtles first encounter the Bigfoot as Karai and her Foot Ninja are attempting to capture it for Max Winters.
 * Centaur
 * Sloth Monster
 * Spider Aracknor
 * Vampire Succubor
 * Jersey Devil: Raphael, in the guise of the Nightwatcher, faced the Jersey Devil in the kitchen of a diner.
 * Sea Monster

Novelization
In the book "The Legend of Yaotl", a complete list of all thirteen monsters is given; however, since it omits the Centaur, Spider Aracknor and Sea Monster, this list is likely not completely canon to the film.


 * Bigfoot
 * Yeti
 * Lethargo (Sloth Monster)
 * Succubor the Vampire Bat
 * Jersey Devil
 * Vix the Fox
 * Lupa the Werewolf
 * Pict the Boar
 * Azooti the Puma
 * Weeb the Frog
 * Arkadin the Coatimundi
 * Cretaco the Crocodile
 * Spitex the Llama

Video Games
The Bigfoot is a boss in the console versions of TMNT (2007 game), as well as the only boss of TMNT: Ninja Adventures. The Jersey Devil and Sea Monster are bosses in the Game Boy Advance game baaed on the movie.

Action Figures
Standard action figures were released for Sloth Monster, Spider Aracknor/Jersey Devil, and Vampire Succubor. This version of Jersey Devil was included in the Monster Action Tower playset. A smaller Jersey Devil was included with Monster Capture Raph.

Bigfoot was originally supposed to be available in a two-pack with Splinter, but this set was nixed. Instead, Bigfoot became a mail-order premium figure that was available through the end of 2007.

Although not part of the Thirteen Monsters collective due to it being released much earlier, there was a Raphael vs. Yeti set produced in 2005. This Yeti was a repainted version of the Primal Rage toy of Blizzard.
