**Mobius** is a planet in the universe. According to Longclaw, Mobius is "on the far side of the universe" in comparison to Earth.

## History

### Attack on Longclaw's Home

*"This world is on the far side of the universe. You should be safe there."*
―Longclaw to Sonic the Hedgehog[src]
Sonic the Hedgehog would be raised by last standing Owl warrior Longclaw on one of the planet's islands. One day, when Sonic was running across the island, he was unknowingly followed by a tribe of Echidnas who set up base there. The echidnas wanted Longclaw's secrets regarding the powerful Master Emerald. Longclaw died when having Sonic flee to Earth through a ring portal. The Echidnas died also, except for one young warrior, who was told by his late father not to come to await his moment. Never having seen him since, Knuckles went out to hunt for Sonic and the Master Emerald across the galaxy restore his tribe's honor.

#### Tails' Quest

*"They say no one has visited here for years out of respect. This is where Sonic was raised. But it's so much more than that. This is sacred ground... the place where Longclaw fell."*
―Tails[src]
Tails would also search for Sonic after seeing him pop up on his computer screen, first travelling to the very same island Sonic use to live on. Entering Longclaw's former home, he notices a shrine built for her in memory and a drawing made by Sonic, from which he uses the chaos energy signature of to continue his search.
