Nack the Weasel

**Nack the Weasel** is a deuteragonist character who appears in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series. He is an anthropomorphic wolf-weasel hybrid, a treasure hunter who tries to get his hands on the Chaos Emeralds for monetary purposes, and mercenary who has been employed at various times by Dr. Eggman. Along with Bark the Polar Bear and Bean the Duck, he is a member-and leader-of the Hooligans.

Fang is considered a dangerous criminal and is wanted for theft and extortion. However, he is not fast like Sonic and Knuckles, and is rather clumsy. Fang uses a Popgun as his primary weapon and the Marvelous Queen airbike as his main transportation.

## Personality

Nack is largely a greedy, self-serving individual; his loyalties and morals are flexible so long as he gets what he wants. He is quick to betray when it suits him, and though he is somewhat clever and wily, he often seems plagued with bad luck. Despite his line of work, it especially hurts his pride when things do not go his way; this often leads to him losing his temper or becoming indignant. Along this line, he tends to hold grudges for those he feels have wronged him, though his greed can still overcome this in the right situation (and vice-versa). Easily capable of violence and cruelty, he cares for little besides riches and his bike, the Marvelous Queen.

Fang is a mischievous treasure hunter who tries hard to be sneaky and cunning, although his overconfidence and overall naiveté proves to be his biggest flaw. He is also said to desire the Chaos Emeralds not because he knows of their true power, but because he believes they will fetch a hefty price on the market. Nack appears to be a coward, as he often runs away when his plans go wrong or when he's frightened.

While Fang had no dialogue, he showed himself to be a comedic and egotistical bad-guy who sews his own defeat in *Sonic Triple Trouble*. This is shown by his trap backfiring and lighting himself on fire in his first encounter and getting shot by his own heat-seeking missile while gloating in his fourth battle against Sonic. Fang was fairly clumsy, often tripping when running away after a defeat. He may not be an entirely bad guy - in his final major appearance, *Sonic the Fighters*, he competed cooperatively to fight the larger threat, the Death Egg II. However, his poster in *Sonic Generations* suggests that he is a loose criminal wanted for theft and extortion, further establishing his greed.

## Powers and Abilities

Fang seems to be generally lacking in abilities, he often uses his wits and gadgets instead of brawn. He's fairly skilled at piloting his airbike, the Marvelous Queen, and the various gadgets attached to it, such as springs, an irate missile and a drill.

Fang's main weapon is his Popgun, a popgun that fires corks, as opposed to conventional bullets. His title, Sniper, suggests that he's able to use his Popgun with great accuracy.

Despite being overall lacking in any real abilities, Fang's tail is rather strong and dexterous. Fang is often seen laying back on it while relaxing, Fang can also use his tail as a spring to reach great heights, in *Sonic the Fighters*, Fang uses his tail as part of a powerful attack as well as a third leg of sorts when kicking opponents with both of his legs.
