Knuckles the Echidna (ナックルズ・ザ・エキドゥナ, Knuckles the Echidna) is a character from the Sonic series who is from Angel Island. He first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, tricked by Dr. Eggman that Sonic was evil and was trying to steal the Master Emerald. Since being tricked, he did all he possibly could to slow Sonic's journey down. Since then he has realized that Sonic was the ally, and they have become friends. Knuckles' most recurring personality flaw is his immense gullibility, having tricked by Eggman more than once to collect the Chaos Emeralds under a hidden agenda, which sparked numerous fights between him and his ally Sonic, only for the former to realize too late he has been fooled. In recent games, this flaw seems to have disappeared altogether. Knuckles' is aptly named for both his spiked gloves and immense physical power in his fist, only rivaled by Sonic's supersonic speed. He is constantly tasked with guarding an ancient and powerful jewel known as the Master Emerald, which is said to be able to control even the power of all seven Chaos Emeralds themselves.
