In Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Groundhog is a drummer in the band DIGG who was mutated into a groundhog.

Physical appearance[]

Groundhog is a mutant groundhog with a brown body, long curly hot pink hair with bangs, a pink nose, purple eyes, and a short, plump figure. She has stretch marks on her arms and three dark brown claws on each foot. She wears a fitted black tank top with magenta-patterned dark purple trim and black capri leggings. She wears black fingerless gloves, dark purple armbands, and a black skull pendant necklace. She also wears black eyeliner with a curled design and silver piercings on her ears (two on the right and one on the left).

Personality[]

Groundhog is cheerful and energetic, known for frequently saying the word "dig". She is also excitable, especially when it comes to anything involving digging.

History[]

Groundhog debuted in "Pizza Pit". DIGG tried to strategically detonate four support pillars in order to submerge a stadium so they could play to a captive audience. Unfortunately, the four pillars happened to be under the Turtles' favorite pizzerias, leading the brothers to believe DIGG had a personal vendetta against them. Upon learning DIGG's actual plan, they convinced them to play as the in-house band of the new Bro's Pizza, which had been opened by all four proprietors of the previous pizzerias.

Groundhog performed with the rest of her band at the Grand Nexus Hotel in "Bullhop".

Groundhog and her band played at the Salt Rock Club in "Cloak and Swaggart".
