## Biography

Knuckles the Echidna is a 18 year old red echidna who lives upon his ancestral home, Angel Island. He has a fierce loyalty to his homeland, and does whatever is in his power to protect it and the Master Emerald, the source of power that allows the island to float over the Earth. Although there are times in which he is called away from the island (often to stop Dr. Eggman as he threatens the Master Emerald), he prefers to stay near whichever emerald shrine is in use, keeping a watchful eye over everything. Even though he can be clever and knows the island like the back of his hand, Knuckles can be easily deceived due to his naive and gullible nature. Being secluded from the outside world, he grew up believing in honesty, and was not prepared for the manipulation and deceiving nature of Dr. Eggman. Even after being shown the error of his ways, Eggman has been able to trick Knuckles since, making him think that Sonic was out to get the Master Emerald shards in Sonic Adventure, and convincing Knuckles to pilot one of his robots in Sonic Advance 2. Knuckles also has quite the temper, and while it can be helpful channeling it when fighting whoever might be threatening his island, it can also get him in trouble, such as his interactions with Rouge the Bat. He also is extremely shy around girls, which may be an after-effect of living in isolated before being thrown into the Sonic the Hedgehog story. While he would never admit it, Knuckles has become a bit envious of the lifestyle that Sonic has, being able to live carefree without anything holding him in one place. Even so, Knuckles would never trade away his duties to live Sonic's life, far too devoted to his role as guardian. He is also an avid treasure hunter, exploring the island on his down time as well as other locales when he knows the Master Emerald is safe. He is also well versed in the martial arts, and has quite the liking toward fruits, especially grapes.

## Appearance

Knuckles is an anthropomorphic echidna with red fur that covers most of his body, a black nose on his peach-skinned muzzle, a white crescent-shaped patch of fur on his chest, and black eyes. He also has seven dreadlock-like spines around the sides and back of his head and a medium-sized, tri-crooked tail. For attire, Knuckles wears red and yellow shoes, each with green cuffs, light gray soles, and metallic, sextuple-bolted plates on top. He also wears large, white, mitten-like gloves with sock-like cuffs and two spiked knuckles on each hand.

## Abilities

While Knuckles can not reach the speeds that Sonic can, or jump as high as either Sonic or Tails, he does possess some unique abilities that neither of them have. He is the strongest of the main characters in the Sonic series, said to be as strong as Sonic is fast. He is also able to use his spiked knuckles to punch through structures that Sonic can not break by rolling through, and shatter boulders with his fists. Additionally, he is a master of martial arts, with a specialty in punching. His spiked knuckles also give him the ability to climb almost any surface, compensating for his low jump. Also, he can glide, aided by his dreadlock-like spines spreading out as he slips through the air. He also enjoys burrowing underground, and is sometimes mistaken as being a mole because of this.

## Trivia

* Confirmed by Leo The Noggin, The Ice Cap screenshot showcase of the mod was actually a bug that happend ingame, where Ice Cap Zone Act 1 & 2 were both connected by a glitch, that's the reason why the "power" meter is at 26 seconds instead of 1 or 2 minutes
* Knuckles' sprites used in the mod were created by DeltaConduit
* In all of the thumbnails in the S1 EP6 of Noggin Gameplays, Knuckles appears with his Sonic Underground design
