Pete (2012 TV series)

Pete, also known as Pigeon Pete, is a character in the 2012 series. He is a friendly mutant pigeon who appears in The Gauntlet. He is voiced by A.J. Buckley.

History
The Gauntlet: Pete was an ordinary pigeon that was mutated by The Kraang. Kirby O'Neil taught Pete how to speak and had him deliver a message to his daughter April O'Neil. Pete stalked April O' Neil for a few days before the turtles ambushed him and tackled him to the ground. Pete informs April and the Turtles that the Kraang intend to detonate a mutagen bomb into the city. He then revealed the location of the Kraang base in exchange for a loaf of sourdough bread.

Bio
Pete was once one of the millions of pigeons living in New York. Used in one of the Kraang's mutagen experiments, he was covered in Ooze and mutated into his current form. He possesses a human torso with a giant pigeon head and legs. He seems to have several strange mutagenic blue growths all over his body. His arms have large wing feathers that somehow grant him flight. Though he has large sharp talons, he does not seem to be a very good fighter. Starting life as a pigeon, he retains his birdlike shortcomings such as slamming into plate-glass windows. He is also obsessed with bread and seems willing to do anything to get it.
