Appearance

History

Following his defeat at the hands of Shredder, Leonardo spends some time recovering in North Hampton, New York. Donatello concocts a batch of medicine using Mutagen as a base and feeds it to Leo in an attempt to aid his recovery. Leonardo vomits up the medicine into the bog, which mutates into Creep. Creep stalks the Turtles, April, and Casey near the O'Neil Farmhouse. Raphael is the first to be targeted by Creep. Creep then ambushes Donatello and Michelangelo, near a shack that contains the bottle of the mutagen medicine and Raphael turned into a planet mutant. Creep then attacks Casey and April as they try their best to take down Creep where it ends up taking Casey's hockey mask. Upon seeing April get abducted, Leonardo traces Creep to his shack where he ends up fighting it. After Leonardo walks back to the shack where the group is attacked by Creep, they try their best to take down Creep. Using the mutagen medicine bottle, the Turtles and April play keep away with it until Leo destroys the bottle and April and Casey manage to chain Creep. Donatello was able to use an I.V. vacuum to drain the mutagen out of Creep in order to restore Raphael from his flower form. The rest of Creep ended up back into it's goo-like form which starts to glow in a glass jar.

• The Creep's theft of Raphael's mutagen his temporary change in mutation depicted in Within the Woods, is a nod to Bloodsucker in the Mirage comic story arc Down to the River, River Hymn and Old Man River.
