Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The Kraang, often presented in a generic gray exo-suit body, represents not a single individual, but an entire race of brain-like aliens originating from Dimension X. They serve as prominent antagonists in multiple iterations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, particularly the 2012 animated series.

Typically, the visible Kraang is just one member operating within the exo-suit, which provides them with physical capabilities far beyond their natural, vulnerable form. The exo-suits are mass-produced and utilized as expendable soldiers or pilots, giving the impression of a singular, monotonous enemy.

Driven by a desire for conquest and dimensional domination, the Kraang often seek to invade Earth using advanced technology and mutagenic substances. Their schemes vary depending on the specific storyline, but usually involve acquiring resources, controlling populations, and establishing a foothold for further invasion.

While often portrayed as a collective consciousness with limited individual personality, certain Kraang within specific exo-suits, like Kraang Subprime, sometimes exhibit more distinct characteristics and leadership roles, furthering the Kraang's overall goals.
