Knuckles the Echidna

Knuckles the Echidna (ナックルズ・ザ・エキドゥナ, Nakkurusu za Ekiduna), is a character and a protagonist from the Sonic Pokémon series created by Yuji Naka and Satoshi Tajiri. He is a wild and tough mobian echidna, who is both physically powerful and highly resilient.

He is known famous as a lonely traveler, treasure hunter and a master of martial arts. He is also the current Guardian of both Angel Island and the Master Emerald, a powerful ancient relic which is his solemn duty to protect from anyone seeking to abuse it. He is also one of the surviving echidna descendants of the Knuckles Clan. He is also one of Sonic's oldest, long-time friends and rivals.

He is entirely devoted to his duty, spending most of his time on Angel Island protecting the Master Emerald, and rarely cares for anything that is of no importance. While his primary concern is protecting his home from invaders, certain threats, particularly those posed by Dr. Eggman, have been enough to persuade him to leave the island.

"Throughout most of my life, it's my duty to protect the Master Emerald! It's already been taken, destroyed during my watch...or both! I will not fail, nor be humiliated again! They can keep coming, keep trying, keep fighitng...but I won't lose!!"

—Knuckles the Echidna.

The hat has blue line around with yellow rounds with red five-pointed stars on them. Knuckles is also seen to carry on light-colored travel bag and keeping blue sun-glasses on mostly for the harder sun lighting.

Past self[]

The younger version of Knuckles the Echidna does have many similar character features for the most part comparing to his present self, including long red quills behind his head, long soft nose and white crescent symbol on his chest. However, he had black eyes. He also has seven dreadlock-like spines on his head and a medium-sized tail.

For attire, Knuckles wears yellow and red shoes, each with green cuffs and a grey, sextuple-bolted plates on top. However, colors on his shoes are seem to be altered comparing to his future shoes, as the red and yellow colors have switched their places on shoes and gray, sextuple-bolted plates are somewhat smaller.

Personality[]

Knuckles is a tough and stoic loner who takes guarding the Master Emerald very seriously. He beleives that there is good in everyone, and he always forgives people, even villains, like Dr. Eggman & Team Rocket, which causes him to be gullible. He's smart too, though. Knuckles is good at finding things, and knows when things are done the wrong way. While Knuckles is mainly tough and gruff, he is also very nice, kind and friendly. But he has a bit of a temper as well, which seems to dissapear quickly. Knuckles is generally a likeable enchilada who is easy to talk to as long as you don't do something to make him angry.

A loner by nature, Knuckles is independent, headstrong and serious, yet gullible and short-tempered to a fault. Once he and Sonic were rivals, but their differences have been resolved.

He is stubborn and doesn't adapt easily. He is entirely devoted to his duty, spending most of his time on Angel Island protecting the Master Emerald, and rarely cares for anything that is of no importance. When his friends and others are in need of his help, however, Knuckles can always be relied on being willing to leave his post and prove himself a faithful and good-hearted hero.

Transformations[]

Maximum H. Knuckles Attack[]

Main article: Maximum Heat Attack

Knuckles can use all his rage in order to obtain the Maximum Heat Attack, a form of which Knuckles' power gets boosted by one, ten, or twenty. It can also be used over Hyper Knuckles and Chaos Knuckles. This is a multiplier form as well. It is a technique that multiplies the user's energy for a "heartbeat" - thus increasing their power and speed and enabling them to inflict serious damage to opponents who are considerably stronger than them. However, the downside of the Maximum Heat Flash is that it takes a heavy toll on the user's body, making them more vulnerable to enemy attacks. While in the state, the user's aura color becomes crimson along with their body. The technique requires the use of Chaos Energy Control to handle it properly.

Color Powers[]

Main article: Color Powers

By harnessing different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, Knuckles can use specific Color Powers to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser or even a planet, each one possessing its own unique abilities. So far, Knuckles has been able to transform into the Cyan Laser, Yellow Drill, and Indigo Asteroid. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained.

Weaknesses[]

Gadgets[]

Weapons[]

Knuckles wields the Shovel Claws, two double-bladed metallic gloves that can be used to dig through the hardest and toughest materials. Knuckles' Sunglasses are a pair of special sunglasses with light blue glasses and a silver frame. When obtained, they allow Knuckles to see and interact with invisible items, such as Item Boxes, Rings and Springs. Knuckles' Air Necklace literally gives Knuckles air to breathe. Once you find it, Knuckles can stay underwater indefinitely. Knuckles' Hammer Gloves are a pair of knuckle duster-like gauntlets with red stripes, each connected to a green metal bracelet respectively. When obtained, they allow Knuckles' attacks to destroy Steel Containers. Using this Level Up Item leaves a red energy trail when punching. This is a required Level Up Item.
