The Piede Ninjia (Foot Ninja) are the low-ranking ninja utilized by Shredder in the Le Tartarughe Ninja comics. In combat, they are not very effective and easily defeated. However, their strength and usefulness comes in sheer numbers.
History[]
After covering a news conference at the New York Police Department with Capitano Stearnes, April O'Neil declines a ride home from her cameraman, Ted, and decides to walk home. Cutting through an alleyway, she is startled to find a gang of masked ninja robbing a truck. They give chase and April trips on a curb, and as the ninja close in on her, a pair of green hands reach out from the darkness and smack the closest ninja with a bō, and the rest of them are similarly felled. Later, April goes to her apartment and finds Piede Ninjia inside, ransacking the place. Running down the fire escape and screaming, she catches the nearby Leonardo's attention. She again trips, knocking herself unconscious this time, leaving Leo to knock out the ninja and bring her back to the lair for recovery. Arrivano le Tartarughe
