Utrom

The Utrom are a fictional alien species from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. They are a highly intelligent and technologically advanced race, originating from the planet Utrom, which is located in another galaxy. Utrom are characterized by their small, slug-like bodies, which they typically keep enclosed within sophisticated robotic exoskeletons. These exoskeletons allow them to interact with the environment and possess varying degrees of strength and maneuverability.

Historically, the Utrom were a benevolent species, having established a vast interstellar empire and a reputation for wisdom and justice. However, their civilization faced a cataclysmic event, forcing a remnant of their people to seek refuge on Earth. They have since lived in secret on Earth, often using advanced cloaking technology and subterfuge to remain undetected by humanity.

A significant aspect of Utrom lore involves their ongoing conflict with Krang, a rogue Utrom warlord and a primary antagonist in many Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles narratives. Krang, often depicted operating from a technologically advanced fortress known as the Technodrome, seeks to conquer Earth or other worlds. The Utrom, in contrast, often act as guardians or protectors, striving to prevent Krang's destructive ambitions and maintain peace. Their advanced technology, including teleportation and powerful weaponry, plays a central role in their interactions and conflicts. The Utrom's presence on Earth has had a profound, albeit often unseen, impact on human history and technological development.
