Knuckles the Echidna

Knuckles the Echidna is the last survivor of the Knuckles Clan and the dedicated protector of the Master Emerald on Angel Island. He uses spiked gloves to climb and dig, and he can glide through the air using his dreadlocks. While he is a powerful combatant, his main priority is guarding the ancient gemstone. He also maintains a long-standing relationship with Sonic, serving as both a loyal ally and a fierce rival.
