Bacteria Monster
The Bacteria Monsters (sometimes called "Giant Bacteria") were monstrous purple germ creatures created by Dr. Viper when he mutated his fellow evildoer Morbulus. Viper used them in his bid to steal Katalyst 99 from Megakat Biochemical Labs. The giant bacteria were nigh-unkillable, as they would divide into more of themselves when hit. because Morbulus literally had eyes in the back of his head, the bacteria monster had four eyes. Whenever the giant bacteria split, the eyes would be divided up among the individual monsters.
After eating a cow and the farmer who owned her, the giant bacteria proceeded into Megakat City where it rudely interrupted the opening of Manx Municipal Park. Callie Briggs tried to kill the monster by running into with Mayor Manx's limo, but this only succeeded into causing it to divide into two monsters. The Swat Kats and the Enforcers arrived on the scene, and against the advice of both Miss Briggs and the vigilantes, Commander Feral fired a missile at one of the bacteria monsters. The end result was three creatures to deal with.
Two of the bacteria monsters went to Megakat Biochemical, while the third entered the subway. Razor followed it on the Cyclotron, but was too late to stop it from eating an entire subway train full of innocent passengers. Chasing Razor down the tunnel, the giant bacteria came into contact with the third rail of the train tracks and was electrocuted, melting into a lifeless puddle of brown sludge. The other two giant bacteria had by this time already reached Megakat Biochemical and breached its defenses, but the Swat Kats arrived and quickly disposed of one with a Megavolt Missile.
Antibiotics used by Dr. N. Zyme failed against the remaining monster, as Dr. Viper had made the germs immune to antibodies. The bacteria monster was then led underneath some powerlines by the Swat Kats. A vibrating blade that shot out of the Turbokat's wing cut the powerlines, and the final giant bacteria was fried when the downed lines fell right on top of it.
Video Game
In the Swat Kats game for Super Nintendo, there are several man-sized Giant Bacteria monsters that, when shot by missiles from a Glovatrix, sprout off miniature "baby" bacteria monsters instead of splitting apart. There is also at least one skyscraper-sized, Super-Giant Bacteria, which is the "boss" of the first level.
