### Physical Appearance

Erazor is a tall, muscular, humanoid being with predominantly pink skin (though it appears to be purple in some scenes) traced with red markings. His beard and hair are a cardinal red and his hair has a ponytail which curls upwards. His eyes have black sclera and red pupils and he has pointed ears and sharp nails.

Erazor's attire consists of a long brown cape held up by a blue and gold jewel, blue-beaded earrings on his left ear, golden armbands, baggy white pants held up by a brown and gold sash, and brown, curly-toed boots, equipped with bronze gauntlets on them.

## Personality

Erazor Djinn is depicted as a power-mad despot who seeks to rule both the World of Arabian Nights and the real world. He is an arrogant and unrepentant individual with a tendency to be hammy and melodramatic. Erazor also takes smug pleasure in mocking others, as shows when he constantly calls Sonic a rat, despite the hedgehog correcting him every time.

For the sake of his goals, he is willing to use anything and kill anyone that stands in his way without a hint of remorse. He is a crafty and cunning strategist and very manipulative, knowing what strings to pull and how. Most of his errors were due to events beyond his control, yet still knew how to make the most out of accidentally hitting Sonic with the Flame of Judgement instead of Shahra.

Erazor seemed to have known Shahra and were close in the past, but seemed to disregard this when he nearly killed her, not showing any concern for her wellbeing, calling her weak.

### Enemies

* King Shahryar
* King Solomon
* Sinbad the Sailor
* Sonic

## Abilities and Powers

Described by King Solomon as a Djinn with nearly godlike power, Erazor is one of the most powerful beings in the World of the Arabian Nights. His abilities are far greater than that of Shahra's. His most notable spell is the "Flame of Judgment" curse, an arrow of flame that slowly consumes the victim's life force. The victim dies immediately when the flame is extinguished, even if it's another immortal being.

Erazor can manipulate the World of the Arabian Nights to a degree, mainly absorbing the words of the book to grow in power or transforming them into spirits under his control. He can summon spirits, lesser djinn minions, and other monsters from whatever confinements they may have, such as the Ifrit Golem. Erazor can also fly nearly as fast as Sonic can run, teleport, increase his size, wield fire, and turn his body into black smoke.

As a Djinn, he is immortal and can survive any physical punishment, allowing him to return from any defeat. As the genie of the lamp, he is capable of granting the wishes of others, but never willingly does so. Apart from his vast magical abilities, Erazor is also a very capable swordsman, able to hold his own in a fight with Sonic. He is also agile enough to leap a great height and perform a backflip.

### Transformations

#### Alf Layla wa-Layla

*Main article:* *Alf Layla wa-Layla*
**Alf Layla wa-Layla** is the incomplete transformed state of Erazor Djinn, obtained after absorbing the Seven World Rings when the ritual was botched due to Shahra's sacrifice, causing him to transform into a grotesque, six-armed demon. In this state, Erazor's powers are magnified to greater heights, allowing him to manipulate the World of the Arabian Nights as he pleases. He can fire bolts of purple energy, create lines of flame with his scorpion-like tail, generate small voids that suck in matter, and gather the words of the book into a large orb of energy.

### Weaknesses

As the genie of the lamp, Erazor is magically bound to grant anyone who possesses his Magic Lamp three wishes.

## History

### Past

Long ago, in his story, Erazor Djinn caused many malicious misdeeds in the Arabian World. Fortunately, he was eventually stopped and punished for his actions by being sealed away in a Magic Lamp where he was to remain trapped until he had granted the wishes of 1,000 people, which included Aladdin.

Eventually, Erazor fulfilled his sentence, but at that point, he had gained a renewed hatred for humanity and the creator of his story for giving him such a fate. He thus began taking over the Arabian Nights, twisting the words that supported the stories into spirits that followed his command and absorbing the book's contents so he could gain absolute control of the world of Arabian Nights; his ultimate goal being to escape and make his way into Sonic's world to wreak havoc there as well.

He also apparently had a past relationship of some kind with Shahra, the Genie of the Ring. When Erazor began taking over the world of the Arabian Nights, he ordered Shahra to collect the seven World Rings that truly control their world, despite her denying that they exist and refusal to help him in his conquest.

## Etymology

* In one cutscene of *Sonic Pokémon: The Secret of the Rings*, when Erazor Djinn was summoning Ifrit by using some sort of spell, he said the word "Jahannam". "Jahannam" is an Arabic word meaning "Hell".
	+ He also mentions the name Iblis: the fire spirit from *X and Y Wildfire*. (In Islam, it is another name for Satan.)
* Erazor's name is pun of eraser, since he's erasing the *Arabian Nights*, and razor, as he attacks with a razor-based weapon (this is confirmed in the developer's notes in the "special book" section of the game).

## Notes & Trivia

* Erazor and Shahra might have been good friends or even lovers, but it was never exactly stated in the game, though there were hints throughout the story.
* Throughout the story, he incorrectly refers to Sonic as a "rat", to which Sonic tries to correct him in regard to what his true species is. The only time he ever correctly identified Sonic by his correct species is just before he attempted to sacrifice him. The second villain to do this is Infinite.
	+ Also, this incorrectly reference ("rat") is used as an insult toward Aladdin from *1001 Arabian Nights*.
* Erazor Djinn is one of the few villains to survive a battle between transformed characters (Chaos, Gemerl and Metal Sonic also have this feat).
