Chaos

## Bio

**Chaos** is a character that appears in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series. He is an immortal mutant Chao and a godlike figure who serves as the guardian who was worshipped by the Knuckles Clan prior to their negative turn of events, as well as the Chao and their friends. His body is composed entirely of concentrated energy, and he has the ability to change form and evolve with each Chaos Emerald that he absorbs.

The first known guardian of the Chaos Emeralds, Chaos watched over a Chao colony in ancient times. However, 3,000 years ago, an attack from the Knuckles Clan led to him being consumed by a fury that threatened to destroy the world, but he was sealed in the Master Emerald before he could succeed. In recent times, he was released by Dr. Eggman for a plot to conquer the world. Despite initial cooperation though, he eventually revolted and tried to destroy the world. Fortunately, he was soon calmed by Sonic and departed for heaven in peace. Since then, Chaos has only re-emerged in times of great crisis.

## Appearance

Chaos is a lifeform with a body made of water-like energy. There are numerous forms he can take, although his most recognizable one is his Chaos 0 state. In this state, Chaos possesses a humanoid form with disproportionally long arms and legs compared to his torso. He has thick forearms with three large fingers on each hand, a short stump for a tail, and long feet with two large toes each. He also has two fin-like protrusions on the back of his head, sharp flaps on each side of his head, and a tall bulge on top of his head. He also possesses no facial features, except for two pupil-less lime green eyes. Lastly, he has a round pink brain inside his transparent head, with a brain stem on the bottom.

## Personality

Said to have a warm heart, Chaos is primarily a very loving and gentle creature who cares dearly for the Chao he protects. Mainly watching over the Chao as an inert pool of water, he only becomes active in times of danger, and only attacks when the Chao needs protection. However, he is noted to have a bad temper; after seeing his sacred precincts being invaded by Pachacamac and his men, Chaos became filled with anger and sadness.

Following the attack on his precinct three thousand years ago, Chaos became corrupted by his own negative emotions, causing him to forsake his peaceful and passive ways and become a rage-filled monster driven only by his own immeasurable anger. His fury proved to be so great that he wanted nothing more than to destroy the world out of spite, even after getting revenge on those responsible for angering him in the first place. In his corrupted state, Chaos remained eternally determined and vengeful, as his desire to bring the world to ruin persisted even after three millennia. However, after Super Sonic neutralized it, Chaos returned to his previous peaceful and gentle demeanor from then forth.

## Powers & Abilities

Chaos is an incredibly strong creature whose power is so great that he is revered as a deity. Even at his weakest, he is said to possess immeasurable powers.

Chaos possesses the ability to absorb the energy of the Chaos Emeralds, allowing him to achieve different transformations with every Emerald that he absorbs, increasing his strength in turn. In addition, he is an immortal being.

### Transformations

#### Chaos 0

*Main article: Chaos 0*

**Chaos 0** is Chaos' most basic form, assumed when he is possession of no Chaos Emeralds. In this form, Chaos commands limited hydrokinetic shapeshifting, allowing him to stretch his limbs, morph its body parts, and liquefy himself into a puddle of water. He is also bulletproof due to his watery composition and possesses earthquake-inducing super strength. He can also harness the power of spirits and elementals to perform great physical feats (like several tens meters tall leaps), execute strong attacks, and even heal himself. He also has hydrokinetic powers that lets him emit mysterious ripples and even freeze the air around his foes. In addition, he can climb, glide and breathe underwater.

In addition to his wide skillset, Chaos 0 also has very strong combat skills, enough to take on Knuckles the Echidna, who is master of martial arts.

#### Chaos 1

**Chaos 1** is the form Chaos takes after absorbing the negative energy of one Chaos Emerald. In this form, Chaos increases in size and mass, and he gains a line of bones that travel down his right arm into his hand.

Most of Chaos 1's abilities are unknown. although he retains hid power of hydrokinetic shapeshifting, allowing him to liquefy himself into a puddle of water.

#### Chaos 2

*Main article: Chaos 2*

**Chaos 2** is the form Chaos takes after absorbing the negative energy of two Chaos Emeralds. In this form, Chaos becomes larger and more muscular with a hunched posture, bones in both his large arms, and vertical hammerhead fins.

As Chaos 2, Chaos is much stronger, and his hydrokinetic shapeshifting has evolved significantly, allowing him to turn into a large ball, liquefy over a wide area and split into hundreds of balls. He can also stretch his limbs over a wide range and generate a force-field around itself.

#### Chaos 4

*Main article: Chaos 4*

**Chaos 4** is the form Chaos takes after absorbing the negative energy of four Chaos Emeralds. In this form, Chaos looks like an aquatic creature, similar to a shark, with arm-like fins, a dorsal fin, and a blunt horn. He also has bones in his tail section and arms.

As Chaos 4, Chaos' hydrokinetic shapeshifting has evolved further, allowing him more offensive usage of his shapeshifting. he also has new abilities to match his new form, including more control over water and energy wave emission. He is also a quick and nimble swimmer and is able to levitate in the air.

#### Chaos 6

*Main article: Chaos 6*

**Chaos 6** is the form Chaos takes after absorbing the negative energy of six Chaos Emeralds, making this his pre-ultimate form. In this form, Chaos resembles a scorpion/spider/frog-like creature with six legs, a long tail, multiple eyes, and a toothed mouth. He also has an extended skeleton inside its body.

As Chaos 6, Chaos commands immense power. In this form, his hydrokinetic shapeshifting has reached the point where he can assume more complex forms that feature a variety of tentacles. He has also gained a vacuum breath and can charge his attacks with energy.

#### Perfect Chaos

*Main article: Perfect Chaos*
**Perfect Chaos** is the form Chaos takes after absorbing the negative energy of all seven Chaos Emeralds. In this form, Chaos becomes a giant serpentine dragon-like beast with a mouth extending far beyond its eyes, which are now reptilian, and a scale-like hide instead of a skeleton. The base of his snake-like body is merged with the water around him. He also has large tentacles extending from his base.

As Perfect Chaos, Chaos is a higher being that accordingly commands ultimate power. He is able to merge with water and has immense hydrokinetic abilities that lets him create large-scale water sprouts, command water tornadoes, and control entire floods which are destructive enough to destroy all of Station Square. He also has incredible super strength and can shoot energy blasts from his body and beams from his mouth.

## Weakness

Despite his numerous forms and godlike power, Chaos has one consistent weakness: his brain. This is a weak spot that, when hit, will cause Chaos' form to weaken and destabilize. He is also not well protected in most of his forms. Chaos is also noticeably slower than most other Sonic characters, even in his smallest form, Chaos 0.

## Relationships

### Tikal

Tikal was the only person that Chaos allowed to approach the Chao, as Chaos saw Tikal's caring nature towards them. When Pachacamac attacked these Chao and Tikal, Chaos attacked Pachacamac in revenge but became consumed by evil and rampaged across his empire. Tikal sealed him away until the Master Emerald shattered, causing Chaos and Tikal to be separated from each other. Once Tikal successfully assisted Super Sonic in removing the evil within Chaos, the two ascended into the heavens as peace was restored.

### Chao

As the god of the Chao, Chaos watches over them and rarely allows anyone to approach his temple as it was home to many Chao. When Pachacamac attacked these Chao, Chaos used the Chaos Emeralds to become Perfect Chaos and attacked Pachacamac and his empire in revenge.

### Dr. Eggman

Dr. Eggman managed to shatter the Master Emerald after hearing about the legends of Chaos. He then commanded Chaos as if he was a minion, which Chaos allowed simply because Eggman was consistently able to obtain the Chaos Emeralds that Chaos used to unlock his stronger forms. But when Eggman lost the Chaos Emeralds to Knuckles, Chaos ambushed Eggman and seemingly kept him alive only as a distraction to ambush Knuckles shortly afterward. Eggman, seeking revenge, used his Egg Carrier 2 to attack Perfect Chaos, only for Chaos to destroy the aircraft with a single hit from his mouth beam. In Sonic Battle, Chaos is awakened in response to Eggman threatening the planet and decides to spar with Emerl so that the latter trains before fighting Eggman.
