Mutated with muck and transformed with trash, this fuming, former sewer worker oozes mysteriously through the city’s sewer system, searching for morsels of muck, sludge and slime.
This grungy garbage man tolerates the sewer-dwelling Turtles because they respect the dignity of the dark and the sanctity of the sewer. And the Turtles think Muckman’s cool ’cause he looks like a pepperoni pizza.

Though Muckman stinks like a landfill, it doesn’t bother him. Don’t be fooled by the clothespin on his nose-that’s not to keep the smell out, it’s to keep the garbage in! But what does Muckman have besides a nose clogged with gunk? He’s got Joe Eyeball! The amazing three-eyeballed, no-nosed parasitic pal, who decomposes his way through sewer pipes and can see through the thickest sewer stench.

And be sure to keep an extra helping of Retromutagen Ooze (not included) handy, ’cause Muckman likes to keep his flesh fresh.
