He, along with Rahzar was created by The Shredder due to the Foot Clan's failure to defeat the TMNT in the first movie. The Shredder kidnapped and forced Dr. Jordan Perry to use the same ooze that mutated the Turtles. He was slower, but considerably stronger and more durable than the TMNT, but was eventually demutated by them at the end of the movie.

1987 series
In the 1987 series, he and Rahzar were two of the mutants created after Shredder unleashed a mutagen at a zoo a while ago.They were first seen terrorizing a mall when the Turtles showed up. Michelangelo used his grappling hook to contain Tokka, but he simply bit through it. Rahzar created a distraction and they escaped from the mall. The duo managed to find food, but it was a trap set up by Dirk Savage, who proceeded to capture Tokka, though Rahzar managed to escape. As Savage took Tokka to his headquarters, Tokka calls out to his friend for help. At the hideout, Tokka and the rest of the mutants were being controlled by A.J. Howard into completing his master plan. Luckily, he broke out of his control and he escaped. It is unknown if he reunites with Rahzar.

Video Games
He was a boss in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time. Tokka returns to the role in the 2009 -Turtles in Time remake for XBLA and Wiiware.

Trivia
* Tokka was based on a rejected toy design by legendary horror and comics creator S.R.Bissette. The character concept was of a bipedal alligator snapping turtle called Terrorpin the Terrible. His sidekick ( this would have been a companion toy ) was a smaller snapper with wad of messy blond hair in a tomato soup can named "Snappy Warhol". The little guy was created by Steve Murphy. Coincidentally around the same time in the early 1990s, Ryan Brown was also designing a snapping turtle character for the TMNT Toy line. Bissette's design was picked up and adapted to development for the villain of the film. At that point Brown was instrumental in making sure Mr.Bissette received printed credit on subsequent products featuring Tokka as inspiring the creature's inception. Most Tokka action figure card-backs received this printed credit.

Terrorpin himself would not go away. In the second volume of the Mirage TMNT comic, he would be utilized and featured as a major menace deep underground in the NYC Sewers. A monstrous antagonist to Leonardo. Over a decade later he would return in the second volume of Tales of the TMNT where it would be revealed that he was actually the companion of the fish-woman Rihana.


 * Tokka and Rahzar appear in 4Kids' 25th anniversary direct-to-DVD special, Turtles Forever. A unique twist on the infamous pairing as they are depicted as Cyber Foot Ninja, underlings under Ch'rell the Utrom Shredder. Having overtaken then the Technodrome from the 1987 TMNT cartoon dimension he has also taken control over the utilization of the Mutagen in Krang's reserves.
