Guest: Donnie, what are a mutated turtle's dietary needs? Is it like a turtle's since you originated as turtles and I know you used to eat worms and stuff. Or is it both, since you are able to eat human foods like pizza? And I have a theory of how the mutagen works (somewhat). Could it be that animals turn humanoid and humans turn into a cross of themselves and an animal or plant they were recently exposed to? I also think that if the human was not exposed to an animal or plant, the result is randomized, since the pulverizer turned into a self-aware glob of mutagen.
DONATELLO:
Well, it sort of both. We don't have to have an ordinary turtle's diet; we could if we wanted to since we have so much turtle genetic code in us. But we also have so much human genetic code in us that it doesn't matter. Like eating chocolate, most animals would get sick and die from eating chocolate, but for us it doesn't have any effect on us.
For the mutagen; How the mutation process works, is that whatever you had contact with before you were mutated; your D.N.A gets mixed with there's and you become a new species of creature. I and my brothers had contact with a human before being mutated, making us human and turtle.
I'm still studying the mutagen and have some theories of my own. Your theory about what happened to the pulverizer makes sense. But I can't say that that's fact yet.
