Fang the Tiger King

Fang the Tiger King is a large, imposing Tiger from Blaze the Cat's dimension, and the secondary antagonist of the first game within the Sonic Sol Trilogy, Sonic Sol: Rise of the Tiger King.
=Appearance=
Fang is a fairly large Tiger, standing taller than many of the main characters, including Vector the Crocodile. As a tiger, his body is covered in black striped, with a ringed tail, and a pair of stripes going over his eyes. His attire usually consists is a long red cape attached by a purple Pearl badge, and a small crown with one of the Sol Emeralds attached to it.
His mech state consists of a laser at the end of his tail, and his claws turning into metallic talons. He only vaguely holds any remnants of his organic state, the only main detail being the black stripes along his torso. His arms had turned into acidic tanks.
=History=
==Sonic Sol: Rise of the Tiger King==
While not directly stated, during his reign as a ruler he came across Eggman Nega, who convinced him to form an alliance with him to take over the entire world alongside him. With his encouragement and aiding mechs under his disposal, he managed to take over most of the empire, leaving the current Sol Empire with very little land in comparison. His alliance with Eggman Nega also helps him gain the Sol Emeralds for himself, one of which he had engraved onto his crown to gain the powers of said Sol Emerald while Eggman Nega experiments with the remaining ones.
He also sends off Shade the Echidna after overhearing the plans with Sonic's arrival as the "Wind Warrior", in order to stop his advances.
Later on, he is confronted by Sonic the Hedgehog, Comet the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, and Marine the Raccoon, who he first assumes are just there to announce the Sol Empire's surrender. When he understands why they're really there, he sends his army to attack them and, after cheating and overpowering Sonic, has him put under arrest and banishes the rest of them. It's later revealed that he plans to execute Sonic by feeding him to his pet shark, but Sonic's friends manage to stop and defeat him before this could be carried out. On his defeat, he is announces as no longer a king, which enrages him. Before he himself could go back in and fight, Eggman Nega uses the Sol Emeralds' power against him, transforming him into a Mech to fight as a servant rather than a partner. This however results in him getting destroyed by Sonic.
===Boss Fight Description (Normal Form)===
The boss fight with Fang in his normal form mostly consists of him sending out his Badnik guards to attack the player, more so than him involving in the fight himself. Throughout the battle, the Badnik guards being sent out differ depending on the current player character being chosen: for Sonic the Hedgehog, he will send mostly Tank Badniks; for Blaze the Cat, he will send flying Badniks; for Tails, he will send racer Badniks. After each wave, Fang will go into a fit, and attack himself which will leave him open to attack.
===Boss Fight Description (Mech Form)===
As the final boss of the game, Fang's mech form comes with numerous forms of attacks against Sonic and company. As he is now a robot working under Eggman Nega, Fang is far more merciless and rough:
*During the first main phase of the fight, his main attacks include slashing with his claws, and charging at the player from the air using his new "wings" - divebombing from the air. If this attack misses the player, then Fang becomes stunned for a short time, giving an opening to only one attack per moment.
*The second main phase, much of Fang's attacks remain the same, but he also gains a second attack in the form of his laser tail: he will hover in the air and shoot a laser beam at the player for a bit. He will then dive-bomb at the player after this, but this won't result in him being stun.
*The third and final phase Fang will gain a special ability in his claws - they will drip with acid from his arm containers. Getting struck with these during his slash attack will result in the player's health draining (unlike a standard attack, this won't drop any rings, so the player's unable to regain health).
==Sonic Sol II: Starlight's Mask==
Fang never officially appears in the game, but there're some callbacks to him throughout the game referring to his defeat by other characters. In similar vain to Eggman Nega and Marine, he is a playable character in the multiplayer mode - unlocked after defeating 100 enemies.
= Personality =
Fang is a highly proud, and overly-confident king of his own empire, thinking very little about others' well-being and mostly focusing on himself. He will make an exception to this though if he can find an advantage out of a relationship, an example being his false alliance with Eggman Nega. He considers himself the best known king to currently exist, and any other rulers nothing more than inferior to him in some way, shape, or form.
Many of these traits are presumably gone though once he's turned into a mech.
=Relationships=
==Blaze the Cat==
Being the ego-driven ruler he is, he doesn't think too highly of Blaze, going as far as to call her a spineless princess in comparison to himself. This is shown a number of times during his main appearance, such as when he assumes Blaze sent her servants just to tell him she's surrendered to his kingdom.
== Eggman Nega ==
While their relationship isn't entirely explore, he seems to trust Eggman enough to form an alliance with him in hopes of taking over the whole empire, even enough to let him have the other Sol Emeralds while Fang only keeps a few. His faith in Eggman Nega only proves to be his downfall though when he is transformed into a mech by Eggman Nega.
