Mutant Toast - Tumblr Posts

I have a question about your mutant Toast:

Is he able to be petted?

Technically, yes he can! But definitely not at first.

Toast was mutated by a different mutagen than what mutated the turtles and was used to make Spooker. This mutagen was created by his “dad” and accidentally created this horrible outbreak of mutants that the Utrom and Ninja Tribunal were unable to control (unlike the previous outbreaks which resulted in the turtles).

When Toast is first mutated, he’s in an immense state of panic, fear, and pain. He didn’t know what was going on, and the mutation was extremely painful and slow. It took a few hours for him to fully mutate. So, because of that, he acts more like a frightened wild animal. He recognizes people later and tries to protect them, but at first he’s in “I’m in danger and everything is a threat” mode.

However, after some time for him to calm down and realize he’s not in any danger (which is a lie honestly because Bishop then comes in to experiment on him) he becomes a lot more docile and is able to actually speak and act more human. Of course, this takes awhile because now he has to relearn how to speak due to a change in vocal chords.

But yes, after the initial danger of everything is over he can be petted and does enjoy pets (though he’s never actually admit to it).
