Yeah that’s right more OCs

Group Backstory: The 5 were raised in a travelling circus, being illegally imported from different countries. They lived in the circus together until it went to New York. There, their owner found a canister of mutagen (one of the ones dropped in season 2) which they all got into. They were mutated as a result. Not long after that they ended up killing their owner and shutting down the circus. Their owner was abusive to them and illegally purchased them, and the audience didn't seem to care, which caused them to develop a hate for all humans. Once the owner was dead, the group started developing an anti-human opinion, other than Ursa who instead started exploring New York. Ursa eventually left the Circus Freaks, ending up with Leo and the turtles instead. The Circus Freaks now want Ursa dead too, same with any other mutants that ally themselves with humans or that started off as humans.

I imagine they're introduced mid-season 2 but don't come back again until mid-to-late season 3 (with the exception of Ursa, introduced in the same ep as the Circus Freaks but is a regular ally of the turtles after that).
