Elite Ninja

The Foot Elite Guard also known as the Shredder's Elite Guard or Elite Ninja ( traditionally they once were known as the "Shredder Elite" )

They are a group of the most accomplished Ninjas in the Foot Clan who serve The Shredder as bodyguards and field leaders. . Each one carries their own special weapon, trident, a twin bladed sword, a spear, and a battle axe. They will stop at nothing to destroy their foe. As Master Splinter  said  they "are the deadliest of his warriors. Lethal assassins". This matches their look and build. They serve the Shredder with absolute loyalty.

Sometimes they are also leaders of small foot ninja teams in order to hunt down the turtles or other enemies.
