Dr. Robotnik
Dr. Ivo Robotnik (ロボトニック ,Robotonikku?), usually known by his alias, Dr. Eggman, is the main antagonist of the Sonic The Hedgehog series. He is a rotund scientist with an IQ of 300, and the de facto archenemy of Sonic the Hedgehog. He was originally called Dr. Robotnik in America and Europe, though his Japanese name, Eggman, has become his English nickname since Sonic Adventure. The name Robotnik, meanwhile, has been mentioned several times in Japan.
Character Description
Dr. Eggman is a mad scientist who seeks to rule the world by enslaving small animals in his robots, but has always lost to Sonic and his friends, no matter how many plans he attempts. He is terribly immature, as he tends to throw tantrums when he loses. He is also very vain, as a lot of his robots resemble him. Lately, he has taken a backseat, serving as comic releif, or as the initial villain before the true villain of the game is revealed. Examples of this include Sonic Adventure, where Eggman is betrayed by Chaos, Sonic Adventure 2, where Eggman teams up with Sonic to save Earth from the Space Colony ARK and the Biolizard, Sonic Heroes, where Metal Sonic, his own creation, imprisons him and impersonates Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), where he is manipulated, like the heroes, by Mephiles, and Sonic Unleashed, where Dark Gaia throws him across the earth and attempts to take out Sonic. In the first four of these, plus Shadow the Hedgehog (the game), he has taken sides with Sonic and the heroes. He has appeared as the final boss in the Sonic Rush games alongside his new accomplice, Eggman Nega, who is Eggman from another dimension. His grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, made Shadow the Hedgehog.
