Groundchuck and Dirtbag are minor antagonists in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. Although their origins differ between incarnations, they are consistently portrayed as a mutant bull and mole that oppose the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In the original 1987 cartoon series, Groundchuck was voiced by the late Bob Ridgely, while Dirtbag was voiced by Pat Fraley, who also voiced Krang, Baxter Stockman, Slash, Antrax and numerous other characters in the series. They were both once animals at the City Wild Animal Park where Shredder was about to test mutagen on a lion and a gorilla to use them to steal a ruby at a museum. However, a turtleoids named Kerma entered the zoo and freed the lion and the gorilla. Just then, a bull and a mole came in, freed by Bebop and Rocksteady, and the bull hit the mutagen dispenser with his head, which spilled mutagen on the two animals, causing them to transform into Groundchuck and Dirtbag. Shredder and Kraang came in and were shocked to see them mutated, instead of the lion and the gorilla. Nonetheless, Shredder gave them clothing and told them to go to the museum to steal the ruby. Groundchuck asked him why they should do that. Shredder replied by ordering them to. The two mutants, however, disobeyed Shredder and escaped. They later ran into the ninja turtles and broke into combat with them. Just then, Kerma captured them and dragged them into a building, which turns out to be his spaceship.

Always dead-on target, Groundchuck aims to please Shredder. This mutated weapons expert is the Foot Clan's hooved hoodlum of choice. Chunky and beefy, Groundchuck is Grade A when it comes to grinding up the Turtles. Pushing the Teens to their limit with his electro-prod and Turtle-tethering crossbow, Groundchuck's a cut above the rest. It's lights out for our half-shelled heroes when Groundchuck takes aim with his tranquilizing dart wrist gun. This horned hood has declared open season - and the Turtles are fair game! Groundchuck is a mutant bull from the original cartoon. He and Dirtbag turned against Shredder to take on the Turtles on their own after they were accidentally mutated by Rocksteady and Bebop. (Planet of the Turtleoids, Part 1) Groundchuck and Dirtbag later return to cause trouble for Shell-Ri-La. (Escape from the Planet of the Turtleoids)
