In the 2012 cartoon, Traag is a 20 ft lava-spewing rock monster with regenerating abilities, who is in service to the Kraang. He first appeared in "TCRI," where he was brought by the Kraang through a portal that connected TCRI to Dimension X. He proved to be a challenge to the Turtles, so Leatherhead ended up dragging him through the portal back to Dimension X. In "Showdown," Traag was seen guarding the portal when the Kraang upgraded it with a force field. When the Turtles tried to destroy it, they drew the attention of him and the Kraang, so Leonardo used the laser to disintegrate Traag. In "Into Dimension X," Traag teamed up with Granitor to attack the Turtles near the Kraang's facility in Dimension X. However, they were both defeated by Michelangelo in his "savage" suit when he used his voice to break apart the part of the cliff both rock monsters were on. Traag and Granitor alongside smaller Rock Soldiers were later summoned by the 80's Shredder and the 80's Kraang to attack New York where they fought the Ninja Turtles and the Mighty Mutanimals. With help from the local Rocksteady and Bebop, the Ninja Turtles sent the Rock Soldiers back to Dimension X and defeated the 80's Shredder and the 80's Krang.
