#Knuckles Clan

Possible Silver/Echidna/Ancient connections

In Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood there is another tribe of echidnas called the Nocturnus Clan. The Nocturnus Clan was incredibly technologically advanced and nearly conquered the world thousands of years ago before they were trapped in another dimension with powerful alien races by an entity called the Argus.

This game and the stuff in it is considered non-canon now due to legal issues that we are definitely not here to talk about but it was canon when it came out and different echidna tribes are referenced in Sonic Frontiers. The ancient portal technology in that game is also similar to the gear themed technology used by the Nocturnus Clan. So there's hope of Nocturnus or a rewritten version of them still being canon. Silver has many similarities to the Nocturnus clan and their creations.

Silver is visually similar to Imperator Ix, the leader of the Nocturnus Clan (Especially the cuffs which are similar to Silver's)

The patterns on Silver's gloves and cuffs are also similar to the ones in Nocturne and the Cyberspace Portals in Sonic Frontiers.

The convex patterns on Silver's cuffs can be found throughout Nocturne.

Silver's front quills have a similar structure to the head crests of the Gizoids created by the Nocturnus Clan.

The big quills on the back of Silver's head are similar to the tentacles that Chaos and The Ancients have on the back of their heads.

Silver's big quills seem to have blood vessels? He puts bandages on them in Sonic Channel artwork and gets blood stains on them in IDW. Maybe they are tentacles?

Sonic Team has foreshadowed connections with visual similarities before. In Shadow The Hedgehog before you find out that Shadow is part Black Arms you can see throughout the game that the Black Arms have red patterns like Shadow and in Sonic Unleashed before you find out that the Werehog is a portion of Dark Gaia you can see that Dark Gaia monsters have the same stretchy arms and attack patterns as the Werehog.

One of the alien races trapped in Twilight Cage with the Nocturnus Clan in Sonic Chronicles called the Voxai has psychic powers like Silver. They have the psychic ability to fly like Silver and control minds.

One of the leaders of the Voxai named Leucosia has the same colors as Silver's powers and patterns similar to Silver's PK Marks.

The only named place in Silver's (good) future that we've seen is Onyx Island in Sonic Rivals. Onyx Island is actually the future version of Angel Island which is the home of the Knuckles Clan, The Master Emerald and Sky Sanctuary. Sky Sanctuary also has advanced ancient technology and patterns similar to the ones on Silver's gear.

We don't know how connected to Onyx Island Silver is but it is the first place we see him after the reset in 06.

This could just be because of his powers but Silver is very upper body oriented. He never kicks like Sonic and Shadow do. Whenever Silver does get physical he always punches things which makes his fighting style more similar to Knuckles and the echidnas than his fellow hedgehogs.

Cyber Sonic's eyes are similar to the eyes Silver has in concept art.

okay another sonic lore poll

pls share this around i NEED to know how many people know lol

[speedofsoundsketches]

I noticed that Cucho can speak Spanish. Is he himself Spanish/Latino?

He is! Like how the Unleashed Hub Worlds are based on certain regions in real life, there's an area that's the Central American equivalent where he originates. (Tho he specifically is based mostly on Mexican culture.)

And since the Ancient Echidna's are the Mayan/Aztec equivalent, perhaps they had some connection to Chucho's ancestral peoples. The former was a massive world power at their peak....

Who's to say?

Just finished watching the "Knuckles Series," and it was amazing

[nights-nonsensical-ramblings]

Specific headcanon here, but if echidna were still around in modern times they’d be extremely picky about what electronics they have in their settlements due to their electroreception. They’ll use it if they see enough benefit, but most of the time it’s not worth the feeling of all the electrical output. It also means it’s rare to see them In the really modern high tech cities, the whole place would feel like it’s buzzing so most of them don’t go unless it’s REALLY important.

Maybe there are some echidna scientists leading studies for technology to work on a lower electrical output, or they often find work seeking out faulty wires. They’re the only land mammal with electroreception, there would definitely be some interesting stuff to come from that.

Hm...

[pleasantstarfishnerd]

echidna gender roles headcanons

The Echidnas were a pretty egalitarian society as far as ancient societies go . They didn't really have much in the way of gender roles. Female warriors were commonplace . Females fought alongside the males in battle.

An Echidna's role in society was determined by their caste rather than their gender. The Echidna society had several different castes, such as warrior, shaman, scribe or priest caste. Male and female Echidnas were treated equally. A female could be a warrior, while a male could be a healer💪

Due to a combination of living alone on Angel Island for most of his life and learning about ancient Echidna society from relics, Knuckles is very confused by human gender roles, especially when he first left the island. He finds them to be ridiculous .

Every day praising an indigenous character — Day 21

Knuckles the Echidna from Sonic the Hedgehog.

Knuckles is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is an echidna of the Knuckles Clan (an ancient clan of echidnas that inhabited what would become known as the Mystic Ruins approximately 3,000 years ago). They are inspired by various peoples from southern Abya Yala.

Sonic Calendar Story - Isekai Ôgiri #3: Tikal y Chaos (Marzo 2023)

Acto 3: "Un paraíso feliz"

"¡Bienvenidos! ¡Adelante, sentaos en cualquier sitio libre!".

Desde hace algún tiempo, la pizzería  "CHAO's Diner" ha estado operando en las montañas de Mystic Ruins. 

Este restaurante tan popular se encuentra en medio del asentamiento del Clan Knuckles, los forzudos equidnas y el hogar de las misteriosas criaturas de agua chao. Tikal, hija del jefe de la tribu y el amable guardián de los Chao, Chaos regentan el negocio.

Hoy, Tikal recibe alegremente a los clientes, mientras que Chaos prepara las pizzas con gran habilidad, gracias a sus brazos extensibles. Su plato estrella es una pizza picante especial hecha con unas frutas rojas, las favoritas de los Chao. El sabor de la pizza y el servicio tan alegre de Tikal han sido bien recibidos y el lugar siempre está lleno de Chao y los del Clan Knuckles.

A pesar de ser un lugar tan agradable, “CHAO’s Diner” tuvo sus dificultades al principio. Cuando Tikal se acuerda de ello, mira de reojo a Chaos mientras hace las pizzas en silencio y no puede evitar sonreír.

—

Los del Clan Knuckles eran duros y arrogantes. A Chaos le preocupaba que pudieran dañar a los Chao.

Cuando llegaban en grandes grupos, caminaban por el restaurante, no tenían en cuenta a los Chao que ya estaban allí y causaban un gran alboroto. A veces, Tikal tenía que intervenir y detener a Chaos cuando se enfadaba…

Pero un día, la nueva pizza creada por Chaos fue tan apreciada tanto por los chao como por el clan Knuckles que se convirtió en el puente que unió a todos.

La Tribu Knuckles comenzó a respetar a Chaos, y también comenzaron a tratar a los chao y a los que amaban las mismas exquisiteces con amor. Y entonces, a la vez que Chaos veía la sonrisa de sus rostros, el rencor de su corazón comenzaba a desaparecer.

La felicidad que se sintió en ese entonces no se pudo olvidar. Si se trata a los demás con honestidad, estos podrán abrirse algún día. Eso es lo que debieron de pensar.

—

Ojalá sentir aquella emoción una vez más…

Desde entonces, los dos han estado trabajando todos los días en su nueva pizza, y ¡por fin la completaron ayer por la noche! Hoy es el día de su presentación.

Una masa especial, cubierta con siete frutas rojas frescas, albahaca y queso derretido. Seguramente a todos les encantará. Estaban nerviosos mientras esperaban que la pizza se hornee.

“CRASH”

De repente, se oyó el sonido de platos rompiéndose desde las mesas. Se podía escuchar el murmullo de los clientes y el llanto de los chao.

"¿¡Qué pasa!? ¿¡No será...!?"

Tikal salió corriendo en pánico. ¡No había pasado algo así en mucho tiempo!

Y lo que vio cuando llegó fue a un chao llorando porque había dejado caer su plato, mientras que los del clan Knuckles limpiaban los platos rotos

Tikal respiró aliviada. 

Sí, ya no había más peleas en este restaurante. Todos se habían vuelto amigos y ahora querían disfrutar de la deliciosa pizza juntos en un ambiente amigable.

"¿¡ !?"

En ese momento, un olor delicioso llegó a la habitación. ¿Quién lo habría ordenado? Nadie…¡Porque es para todos! Chaos llegó con su nueva pizza y se la ofreció a todos. 

¡Te estábamos esperando! La tribu de Knuckles y el chao que lloraba sonreían mientras comían.

“¡Está para chuparse los dedos!”

"¡Chao, chao!"

Todos estaban muy contentos. Tikal se volvió para mirar a Chaos y asintió lentamente.

Desde ahora y para siempre, el restaurante de estos dos estaría bien. Con ese pensamiento en su corazón, Tikal y los demás regresaron a la cocina...

Y luego, como si se estuviera disolviendo, una niebla blanca envolvió el área…

—

La animada conversación y la reunión en el restaurante pronto desaparecieron, y cuando la niebla se desvaneció lentamente... solo quedaba la Master Emerald parpadeando lentamente como si estuviera dormida, y las ruinas de su altar.

Y cuando el aroma, que se quedó sin lugar a donde ir, se desvaneció, un pesado silencio llenó el lugar de este paraíso en ruinas.

"Todo ha desaparecido..."

Angel Island, que debería estar flotando en el cielo, había aterrizado en el suelo, y una extraña niebla blanca rodeaba los alrededores del altar…

Tikal y Chaos trabajando juntos felices, lejos de los hechos del pasado. El Clan Knuckles y los chao llevándose bien ¿Este paraíso fugaz fue realidad o fue acaso un sueño?

Dado el ambiente del restaurante, tal parece que no era una visión de los tiempos en los que Tikal y los demás solían vivir…El misterio no hace más que agudizarse con la niebla.

Cuánto más sabemos, más aprendemos sobre los nuevos misterios de este mundo.

spent a stupid amount of time standing around blocking the road to compare knuckles to the echidnas from the past knuckles is .. pretty small, compared to them. humans tend to stop growing around the age of 16 (ik hes not a human but hes anthropomorphised shh) so him being so much smaller is p interesting. also look at that snoot on the one closest to the camera damn. it’s so long and pointy he can use it as a weapon

[telekinetic-electronica]

reminder that knuckles himself is royalty and if you think about, he’s now the leader of the knuckles clan

(i.e. his ancestors were a goddamn chief and princess bro)

Pay attention closely and you'll realize Super Shadow didn't exactly straight up fall to Earth. And no, he didn't lose his Super form until probably sometime after disappearing (who really knows aside from knowing he was rescued).

The fall would have happened regardless. Look at the angle he performed using chaos control earlier. It was more downward than Super Sonic's. Essentially by observance he in way pushed back downward. Now assuming Super Shadow falling was Super Sonic's perspective, he would not be able to catch him anyways and if he did he would have disappeared anyways.

Another thing people presume he auto lost his super form once he and sonic chaos controlled the Ark and fell to earth. They make animations or art of it. But the problem is when people start acting like this is what actually happened and refuse to see what really happened.

Now if he didn't disappear, it's just more of reason he could have easily have been caught by Sonic. If he lost his super form so quickly as people presumed, it would have been easily shown in the fall scene or rather immediately normal in the next scene after ark was shown being chaos controlled. Heck what would happened obviously would be what happens if all rings were lost for either from fighting Biolizard The Final Hazard.

Now people say or presume he died or should have stayed dead.

There's contradictions within the game itself.

Him fall while super

Him disappearing

The Space Colony reappearing

1 is obviously, didn't de transformed

I will explain 2 and 3 briefly. but before that. this is not like SA(DX) when Chaos Makes The Malicious Tikal's father's Clan Disappear.

Now then

SA2(B) is the game where disappearing and reappearing is a thing.

That's called Chaos Control

2 and 3 is Chaos Control. Super Shadow while falling did was probably Chaos Control. He didn't say it or say something similar like This Is The Ultimate...Power. It just happened (and later games it's wordless if need be). That is most likely why the only thing Super Sonic was able to retrieve was one of his ring bracelet limitor inhibitor etc things.

Now like around several seconds at least after he disappears, Space Colony Ark reappears. That was chaos control obviously

If you look at Super Shadow disappearing and ark reappearing affected or even Biolizard from earlier. They resemble Chaos Control but Super Shadow Disappearance and The Space Colony's Reappearance is even more similar. Heck even the sound effect for it is rather close.

But honestly Shadow should have been easily seekable but I think Tikal's words of what Chaos Emeralds can really do was forgotten again. Heck Knuckles probably could do it with the Master Emerald (again SA(DX) ignored) But it seems to be common trend after SA1 (yes exceptions of certains games after do exist but not listing anymore)
