## Overview

A creation of a beyond godly being that was sealed away inside the moon by the nearly extinct echidna tribe, having been given the purpose of releasing that being from its containment by any means necessary. Personality can vary quite a bit, from being curious and social, cunning and mischievous or even sadistic and bloodthirsty in later stages.

## Biography

In an hidden camp somewhere inside an unknown forest, a small group of cultists worshipping something called the blood moon phenomenon were in the middle of performing a summoning ritual atop a strongly lit bonfire. When the ritual had concluded however, a tall and skeletal figure emerged from it, towering over everyone there. This was the creature they wanted to summon, the child of the forgotten one, “Xeroth”.

But something was off. What they expected wasn’t what they ended up getting, because they had envisioned an emperor, someone smart and cunning who could convince an entire army to switch sides. But the figure standing before them looked almost animalistic, as if acting on mere instinct rather than intelligent and calculated decisions. Before they could evaluate if this even was a good idea or not, the figure had already stepped out of the bonfire and now stood right in front of one of the cultists, towering over them, and before they could even utter a word, the figure reached out a hand and grabbing a hold of their head. The only thing the others saw and heard was the sound of splattered blood and shattered bones, as the figure dropped the beheaded corpse of their friend onto the bloodied grass as it turned to the others and started slowly approaching, fire spreading on the grass from each step. While the two others ran as fast as they could, Xeroth surprisingly didn’t pursue them. Instead focusing its attention towards some of the belongings that they left behind, specifically a worn out bag containing a laptop along with a USB drive. Noticing that its body was starting to grow more unstable, all it did however was form a large cheshire grin as everything around it was burning to ashes.

The fun was about to begin soon…

A while later, a badnik patrol had found the charred forest and by orders from Dr. Eggman investigated to see what had survived the forest fire and if anything of possible value could be salvaged from it. However there wasn’t much that hadn’t been consumed by the inferno, with the entire campground in disrepair from the fire along with an unidentifiable charred corpse with its head missing, there wasn’t anything of value. With the exception of a lone bag containing a broken laptop connected to a USB drive, the badnik patrol started to return back to base with what they were able to collect, neither the mindless robots nor the good doctor having any idea of what was soon to be unleashed upon the world. Sonic, noticing the badnik patrol heading somewhere with an old bag, decided to pursue them, ready to thwart any old evil scheme that egghead could come up with. Wouldn’t matter how hard things would get, because he always saves the day.

…Right?
