In Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Prairie Dog is the singer and lead guitarist in the band DIGG who was mutated into a prairie dog.
Physical appearance[]
Prairie Dog is a fairly tall, slender, brown-furred mutant prairie dog with blonde hair kept in a bob cut, dark green eyes with paler-colored sclera, a dark brown nose, and wears curled black eyeliner and red lipstick for makeup. She also has sharp teeth which protrudes from her upper jaw, hands with claw-like fingers, and dark brown claws protruding from her feet.
Her attire consists of a red choker around her neck, and silver hoop-piercings on her ears (a single one on her right and two on her left). She wears a cropped black denim-vest with a popped collar and a yellow badge over its heart, worn over her white T-shirt with a red collar. She also wore black wristbands on both her wrists and a red plaid skirt, with a set of black biker shorts underneath.
Personality[]
Prairie Dog is laid-back and confident, considering her and her bandmates' mutation to be a blessing. She is also smart as she devised a plan that would gain DIGG an audience via musically demolishing New York City infrastructure to create a stage.
Although she is pretty even-tempered, Prairie Dog is irritated by others disrupting her flow and has a disdain for authority that she calls "the Man".
History[]
Prairie Dog debuted in "Pizza Pit". DIGG tried to strategically detonate four support pillars in order to submerge the Kaufman Coliseum 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.
Prairie Dog performed with the rest of her band at the Grand Nexus Hotel in "Bullhop".
Prairie Dog and her band played at the Salt Rock Club in "Cloak and Swaggart".
A poster of Prairie Dog hung on Leonardo's bedroom wall was depicted in Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie.
