Introducing Lux's precious lil tater tot, Petunia, aka: Pepperoni!
I very very recently learned about the canonical tmnt character Pepperoni and had to snatch her for my own fluffy oc explorations!
It just made sense to turn her into my take on a Triceraton too! I'm still working out the details on how exactly Lux found her egg, i'm leaning towards some kinda wacky market in the Hidden City. Maybe in an "exotic foods" section oops.
Some extra fun facts under the cut:
Triceraton hatchlings start out on all fours due to the density of their skulls/head crowns/horns. It takes a bit of time for them to develop the upper body strength/balance needed to move onto 2 legs!
Hatchlings also shed for the first couple years of their lives as they replace their softer infant scales with stronger ones! It's a very important time for bonding between parents and their hatchlings as they help chew/clean off the old scales!
Petunia will 100% be growing bigger than her father, New York will have to prepare for a pretty pink kaiju running amock in due time!

Prev. | Pt 2. of whatever this OC exploration is / Next ?????
Consistency? Never heard of her. I need to come up with some kind of tag for this thing so i can find it all easier.
I have so many concept/ref/lore bits I wanna share but it'd spoil whatever climatic reveal i'm trying to lead up to.
Here's my take on LeatherHead for my Rise!OC explorations! This big boy takes LH as a character and gives him a species swap into a Triceraton!
In this version Triceratons grow to Kaiju like proportions if they live in a safe and ample environment, they travel in small herds/family groups and it's very very rare to find one living on it's own. They are extremely social creatures and it takes something egregious to be disowned from one's herd.
When they experience extreme stress or trauma their growth becomes stunted, sometimes permanently.
Please feel free to hit me up for more Triceraton lore/deets or if you want to use Lux here as inspo for your own alien dino! I'd love to see some!
Some specific Lux Lore under the cut:
Luxor ended up abandoned on earth and was almost instantly taken into government custody. A nearly 7ft tall massive reptile is kinda hard to miss. He gained the pet-name "Leather Head" while in the labs. Triceratons are typically quick to adapt, this ability includes learning new languages/forms of communication. Lux quickly picked up an understanding of his human captors but they never took the time to delve into his sentience/intelligence. He was worth more as a brutish powerhouse.
Lux grew only a foot more while in captivity and his growth stopped permanently after he recovered from his vivisection. The missing toe/arm are the results of a failed gene splicing experiment to see if they could improve his healing/regenerative abilities. The splicing included 1 other captive who has a hand in Lux's eventual escape from the labs. But that's spoilers for now.
The blade’s edge snagged.
Their alien captive shrieked.
Raph’s ninpo shattered.
“Fuck-”
That was all Leo managed to get out before he was tackled by what felt like NewYork’s slimiest subway car.
“So, no sense in beating around the bush.” Leo’s tone was uncomfortably casual, “You’re Kraang aren’t you?” he stared down their captive, a challenge in his eyes. Lie. Avoid the question. I dare you.
The alien broke eye contact, its head turning to the side, looking almost…ashamed.
Part 3 of whatever this OC exploration is can be read here!
I lost steam on drawing and had no inspo for all this dialogue so I typed it instead 👀
Pt 1 // Pt 2
I've been calling this series "Little Ceasar's Parasite" in my head recently...

Pt 1. of whatever this OC exploration is | Pt 2.
Some additional thoughts + extras under the cut!!
This is me taking the animatic that's been haunting my brain for the past month and trying to make it real?? I don't do comics so this is gonna be an experimental mess! Please enjoy the ride!
This particular scenario takes place around 6.5 months after the movie.
Can you envision the wild ass fight that lead up to this? Cause I can't. But that image of Raph's Ninpo projection pinning that pink chewing gum bastard to the ground has been plaguing my mind for weeks now so here we are!! I should probably give more actual context but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Here's that panel on it's own cause i'm very proud of it
And here's a scrapped panel where I drew the teeniest tiniest turtles i've ever drawn, this gives a better idea of where everyone is during this whole "first meeting"
