History

In Dreams

A tribe of oversized alien beavers from another dimension with dream-infiltrating abilities with which they mentally manipulate other people's dreams at will, in order to suck the life energy out of their victims. For millennia the Dream Beavers pursued their prey all over the existence of mankind. Their goal was originally to traverse into the dimension of man, to be able to hunt their prey uninhibited.

Like the Kraang, the Beavers sought to take over Earth after they were brought into the dreams of Earth's people when a physicist named Bernie undertook an experiment forty years ago to prove the existence of a (or the) Dream Dimension. The machine with which he undertook this journey, however, had an error, so that the Dream Beavers were trapped in the Dimension of Dreams. The core of the machine, the Dream Plug, Bernie kept ever since in his book, to prevent penetration of the Beavers into the earthly dimension, Bernie has refused since then to sleep, keeping himself awake for forty years in order to prevent them from getting into his dreams. However, the Beavers could still use their powers to capture other victims close to Bernie, as soon as they fell asleep - which ultimately also happened to the Turtles when Bernie took over a grocery store near their farm. They first appear in "In Dreams", where they infiltrate the dreams of the Turtles and bring their nightmares to life in order to drain their life-force. April uses her powers to enter their dreams in order to get them to wake up. When the Turtles realize that they are in a dream, the Dream Beavers come together to attack them.

Upon learning about them from Bernie, Casey Jones destroys the Dream Plug to bring the Turtles from their nightmare, which not only wakes the Turtles but also frees the Dream Beavers to materialize into the earthly world, who convert into a smaller size, far less powerful and far less scary than in their own realm and are forced to ignominiously return to their own dimension as Bernie finally falls asleep.
