Knuckles the Echidna

Knuckles the Echidna is one of the main protagonists of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He appeared in the 51st episode of Death Battle, Donkey Kong VS Knuckles, where he fought against Donkey Kong from the Donkey Kong and Super Mario series.
==History==
The last surviving member of an ancient echidna clan, Knuckles was born and raised to protect Angel Island's greatest treasure: the Master Emerald, a powerful relic which can negate the effects of the Chaos Emeralds. This has led to him rarely leaving the island unless something big happens to the Emerald or somewhere else. One day, he met Doctor Eggman, and was told by him that a hedgehog named Sonic was after the Master Emerald, and he needed his help. Not knowing that this was a lie, Knuckles fought against Sonic, but was soon able to realize his mistake and turned his attention to Eggman and helped defeat him. Knuckles would later become an ally to Sonic and friends in later adventures, turning into quite the asset for his amazing strength, agility, and combat ability.
