originally had a super long multi paragraph ramble about this written out but then realized i did not have to say all that . anyway . i think that the reason some little animal guy sonic characters have last names while most others just go by (name) the (species) has to do with cultural differences... the fact that the characters with last names are also the same characters who have more human sounding first names makes me think that they were born in an area that had a large human population, or that their parents or grandparents were, so their family was influenced by human naming practices

#that or their parents are two different animals and they have traits from both so they just go by a last name for simplicitys sake #that headcanon is kinda taken from archie sonic btw there are a few archie characters who have parents that are different animals #and iirc they all use last names rather than species names #though those characters tend to only inherent one parents species rather than looking like a combination of both #obviously these reasonings wouldnt apply to everyone there would still be exceptions . like shadow #who was created by humans and exclusively interacted with humans before the events of sa2 but still goes by shadow the hedgehog #though i feel like hes a special case because the robotnik last name would probably raise a lot of questions #or make people wanna start digging around in his private business. so maybe he just doenst use that name publicly #because he doesnt feel like dealing with all that. or maybe he chooses to not use it as a way of not living in the past all the time. idk #Hiii im the number one guy who thinks way too much about random sonic worldbuilding stuff that doesnt matter
