Biography[]
Gargon was abducted from Dimension X by Shredder and Krang and mutated him with their experimental Mutagen and placed him in a cell at the New York Hall of Science as part of their plan to destroy the Turtles once and for all.
When the Turtles arrive in the Hall of Science, they heard Gargon's cries of help and found him in his cell and freed him. After explaining his predicament, Gargon travels with the Turtles into Dimension X to track down Shredder. After being led on a wild goose chase, going from planet to planet and getting attacked by monsters and aliens, the Turtles arrived on Balaraphon were they found themselves in the middle of a war with of Krang's Rock Soldiers engaging a village, but the Turtles thwarted their and saved the village.
After engaging in an argument with each other over their failed search of Shredder, the Turtles were captured by the tentacles of a plant creature residing in a nearby crater, revealing that Gargon had led them into a trap. When Gargon apologizes to the Turtles, the Technodrome arrives and Shredder reveals his retro-mutagen cannon which turns Gargon back to normal. Just as Shredder was about to de-mutate the Turtles, Gargon, in a fit of redemption, stops him and the Turtles free themselves and destroy Shredder's retro-mutagen cannon with the Rock Soldiers tank they took. After Leonardo and Michelangelo threw Shredder into a vat of chemicals and Donatello and Raphael blew up the Technodrome's main engine, Gargon explains that when he saw how brave the Turtles were saving the villagers from the Rock Soldiers, he knew he couldn't let Shredder de-mutate them, and the Turtles accepted his apology, and gave him the Rock Soldiers tank to fly back to his home planet. Just before he left, Gargon thanked the Turtle and he will never forget them for helping him.
