Some TMNT stuff really isn't for little kids. |
Dreadmon is a red wolf man (possibly a werewolf), an ally of the Ninja Turtles and a member of the superhero team The Mighty Mutanimals. This character was created for the Archie comics version of the TMNT franchise.

Dreadmon was a character appearing in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comics who later joined The Mighty Mutanimals. He was a South African native, who was sent away with his mother to Jamaica by his father, an outspoken opponent of apartheid, because he feared for their safety. Living in abject poverty as a teenager, he learned to live by stealing. Until one day he unknowingly stole a magic talisman that transformed him into a red wolf with super-speed. The talisman was later stolen from him so that the curse could not be undone.
Later, Dreadmon came across Jagwar and the Turtles as he returned to Tepui Valley in fear and terror (TMNT Adventures # 15). Dreadmon and Jagwar were eventually members of the superhero team the Mighty Mutanimals. However, during the "Animus War" event Dreadmon and the other Mutanimals were killed by the Gang of Four on their secret island. Dreadmon and the other Mutanimals could only be buried. (TMNT Adventures# 54)
