The Arch of Aquinnah is a mystic construct that transforms those who travel beneath it into demons in Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Description[]

The Arch of Aquinnah is a grey rounded stone arch that features a sculpture of the head of a winged creature with a gaping mouth at its peak. Both sides of the arch feature multiple human skull sculptures and beastly heads with sharp claws at the bottom.

It is currently unknown when, how, or by whom the Arch of Aquinnah was built, but it has the mystic power to turn anyone who travels through it into a demonic warrior, augmenting their strength and speed. When humans cross under it, they adopt varying anthropomorphic animal bodies. The only means to break its spell is to defeat its demons in a competition of some sort, typically combat. The Arch of Aquinnah also has the power of speech.

History[]

The Arch of Aquinniah debuted in "Air Turtle". It was obtained by Tim Dunkman and placed in the basketball court his team the Daves were playing at. He believed it would simply bless his players with luck in their next game, ignorant of the fact that it would actually transform his players into demons. Later, Tim intentionally allowed the Arch to alter him to face the Knights, but its spell was successfully broken by the Mad Dogs triumphing against the Daves.
