In
The Totally Ninja Raccoons meet Bigfoot,
our protagonists discover they are not meant to be ordinary bandits, but rather carry the potential to be something extraordinary, ninjas.
In this origin story, the Ninja Raccoons begin their ninja training, and meet their first potential employer--Gypsy the Cat. Gypsy sends the Raccoons on their first mission, to capture the elusive Bigfoot.
Things aren't what they seem to be. Bigfoot isn't the monstrous beast, as he's been portrayed. Gypsy isn't the benign employer. Cats want to take over the world.
The Totally Ninja Raccoons learn that sometimes you have to choose your own path if you want to choose your destination.
