Attila the Frog is one of the Punk Frogs, a group of four frogs that were mutated and trained by Shredder. As Splinter had named his Turtles after his heroes, the Renaissance artists of Italy, Shredder named the Frogs after his heroes - would-be world conquerors and dictators. In Attila's case, he was named after the warlord Atilla the Hun, leader of the Hunnic Empire. The weapon given to Attila by Shredder is a flail, a spiked ball on the end of a chain connected to a stick handle.
