Sisyphus (1987 video games)

Sisyphus is a character appearing exclusively in the Genesis/Mega Drive version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. No back story is given to him, although he is indicated to be a friend of the Turtles. Sisyphus is an anthropomorphic scarab. It is unknown if he is a mutant, an alien, or some other form of life.

Sisyphus is likely named after the species of dung beetle (aka scarab) of the same name. Scarabs are known for rolling large balls of feces and other material, similar to the punishment given to the Greek myth character of Sisyphus.
