**Knuckles the Echidna**, is both a fictional character and protagonist of the *SKB's* *Sonic Pokémon* series created by Yuji Naka and Ken Sugimori. He is a proud and honorable anthropomorphic red short-beaked echidna warrior.

and the current guardian of the Master Emerald, a powerful ancient relic which is his solemn duty to protect from anyone seeking to abuse it. He is also the sole surviving descendant of the echidna race from the Knuckles Clan. His dominant traits are his super strength and the two spike-like knuckles on each of his gloves, from which his name is derived from, which he can use to dig with and climb walls. He can also trap the wind under his dreadlocks to glide through the air.

A loner by nature, Knuckles is independent, headstrong and serious, yet gullible and short-tempered to a fault. 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. He is also one of Sonic the Hedgehog's oldest friends and rivals.

He is an anthropomorphic echidna, famous as a treasure hunter and a master of martial arts. Knuckles' primary ability is strength, his arms are so powerful that he can shatter rocks. Ever since the first Chaos Control incident, Knuckles has become dedicated to finding the Chaos Emeralds so he can go back to his job of guarding the Master Emerald as soon as possible which he takes very seriously.

"*It's my duty to protect the Master Emerald! It's already been taken during my watch...and destroyed...or* **both!** *I will* **not** *be humiliated again! I will not fail again! They can keep coming, keep trying, keep fighting...but I* **won't** *lose!!*"

—Knuckles, to Dr. Eggman.

## Personality

Personality-wise, Knuckles is serious, aloof, stubborn, and does not adapt easily. Headstrong and inflexible, Knuckles prefers to do things his own way which causes him to clash with others. Regardless, he is very strong-willed, seldom wavering in his determination.

As guardian of the Master Emerald and Angel Island, Knuckles is very serious about his duties to the gem and Angel Island, often wanting to solve trouble as quickly as possible so he can return to his post. Though usually laid-back and composed as well, Knuckles has the heart of a fighter and he has been shown to love a good fight, being willing to encourage even Bark to give it their best when fighting him.

Also, while far from unintelligent, Knuckles is not necessarily the sharpest tool in the shed, and can say rather stupid things without even realizing it or fail to understand heavily implied things.

Despite his somewhat rough exterior, Knuckles is very kind and selfless, being willing to risk his own life for the lives of others, no matter how small. Knuckles is also not beyond showing sympathy, as he was visibly sad when Eggman told the story of Heavy King's betrayal, but is sometimes too naïve. Also, while proud of his skills as a treasure hunter, he is modest and does not want people to patronize him for his skills.

Unlike the rest of Sonic's group, Knuckles walks his very own path and is able to fight many people on his own, due to his brute strength and competence at martial arts. He also never gives up once he has a goal to accomplish, especially when its about finding the Master Emerald which is his job/duty to protect it. When on a serious mission, Knuckles is extremely self-sufficient and only says a few words.

Knuckles grew up believing in honesty and holds a strong and steadfast belief that there is good in everyone, which always lets him give people (especially Eggman) second chances. However, this makes him very naïve, quite gullible, and easily misled, which has given him a history of being tricked by Eggman.

Though he is cool and determined in battle and most stressful situations, Knuckles has an extremely short temper which leads to aggression, and is difficult to talk to or reason with when he is angry. Though his wild-temper has often been known to get him into trouble, Knuckles uses his anger to fight off his enemies.

Knuckles holds a special loneliness as he is one of the surviving members of his tribe of Echidnas that lived on Angel Island for generations and believes that he will never see any one like him in his lifetime. Despite of this though, he believes that he is the only person who can carry out the task of protecting the Master Emerald to ensure no one abuses its power.

Despite his solitude, temper, and blunt honesty, Knuckles is quite understanding and kind, and respects those who are nice in return, but keeps to himself. However, he shows a lot of empathy, especially for people he believes need some comfort. Knuckles is also extremely selfless, heroic, and valiant, willing to put his safety on the line to save people's, and even his adversaries', lives.
