Knuckles the Echidna (Sonic Boom)

Knuckles the Echidna, also known as Knuc, Knucklehead, Knux, Nibbles, Nickels, Noodles, Nubbles, Nufflles, Nuggets, Nurples, Snuffles, T.C.H.G. and Trash Can Head Guy, is one of the main characters from the Sonic Boom series.
== Charactah Account ==
Knuckles is an anthropomorphic echidna from Angel Island and the last of his kind.[11] He is also the keeper of the Fregosi Sapphire. Knuckles serves as the muscle of Team Sonic, a group of heroes who defends the peace of Seaside Island and the world at large. Unlike his friends, Knuckles is a nomad without a permanent home and lives in nature.
Knuckles is described as a "punch-first-and-keep-punching-until-you-need-a-punch-break" kind of echidna, and the best solution to a problem for him is to smash it to pieces. He is determined and strong of character, but tends to be rather cocky and get into trouble.
Knuckles has shown on several occasions to have a huge ego: he clearly thinks of himself as his team's leader and most capable member, and fancies himself very heroic. Also, as a result of his self-pride, Knuckles feels great about himself all the time. However, his self-admiration makes him exaggerate his own recollection of his accomplishments and endeavors to the point of absurdity, leaving him convinced in his mind that he, for example, has various ridiculous superpowers, such as flying. Proud of his manliness, Knuckles has a very macho-orientated attitude which at times makes him sound somewhat archaic. He is also very blunt when expressing his opinions, which makes him come off as insensitive.

== Trivia ==
* While Knuckles is a nomad and loves nature, he does not know how to survive in it.
* Knuckles may have a learning disorder. This is evident as he had many teachers, but could not retain their lessons.
** Knuckles may have dyslexia, as in addition to his illiteracy, he exhibits many traits that are common among dyslexics. A few examples are his inability to tell left from right, his gift for music, and his inability to understand verbal explanations.
* Knuckles is illiterate, even though he owns reading glasses.
* Knuckles mentions he has a grandmother, but it is unknown if she is alive or deceased. (This also makes him the third tv counterpart to have a known relative alongside his Underground counterpart and his X counterpart)
* Knuckles claims he cannot brush his teeth or tie his shoes without aid.
* Knuckles learned how to ride a bike, wrap his sports tape and count from Tails, although he cannot count past three.
* Knuckles can skillfully play the piano and on drums.
* It is implied that Knuckles is allergic to fish saliva.
* Knuckles claims to have studied air conditioning and refrigerator repair, specifically from "Sonic School of Impressing the Ladies."
* It has been revealed that Knuckles cannot cook.
* Knuckles was voted "sensitive soul of the month" by Hulking Brutes magazine.

* Knuckles has always wondered how he would look like with a bolo tie.
* Knuckles has a habit of digging tunnels everywhere.
* Knuckles is a feminist, claiming that, despite being a meathead, he still respects women at the utmost degree.
* In Sonic Boom #2, Knuckles is shown gliding through midair despite being established as incapable of this skill. According to Evan Stanley, this was because the comic staff was not told by Sega about Knuckles' inability to glide when that issue was written.
* In Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, one of the collectible toys depicts a protein shake, which is described as "grape flavored with notes of tacos, specially formulated for echidnas". This implies that Knuckles' affinity for grapes was carried over into the Sonic Boom continuity.
