Knuckles the Echidna (Japanese: ナックルズ・ザ・エキドゥナ, Hepburn: Nakkuruzu za Ekiduna) is a fictional character in Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a red anthropomorphic echidna who is determined and serious, but sometimes gullible. He has the ability to glide and climb up walls, and is a powerful fighter with spiked hands. He serves as the guardian of the Master Emerald, a huge gemstone that controls the series' integral Chaos Emeralds.

Knuckles debuted in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in 1994 after Doctor Eggman tricks him into opposing Sonic and Tails. He first became playable in Sonic & Knuckles later that year; he learns of Eggman's trickery and teams up with Sonic and Tails during that game's events. Since then he has appeared in dozens of playable and non-playable roles, as well as in several series of comic books, Western animated television, and Japanese anime.

Knuckles is a 16-year-old red anthropomorphic echidna, He was born in 1987 the only living descendant of a well-established clan of echidnas.[17] For many years, his clan guarded a giant gemstone called the Master Emerald, which controls the Chaos Emeralds, objects central to the Sonic the Hedgehog game series.[18] As such, Knuckles has spent most of his life atop a floating island called Angel Island, guarding the Emerald from harm.[19] He has grown up fairly introverted as a result.[17]

Knuckles has a serious, determined personality, described as keeping cool in combat.[20] However, he sometimes loses his composure and gets in fights with other characters, and is sometimes shy around girls.[21] His favorite food is grapes. His relationship with Sonic is ambivalent: Knuckles enters the series as an antagonist of Sonic and later sees him as both a friend and a rival,[22][23][24] while envying Sonic's adventurous lifestyle.[20] He is depicted as somewhat gullible and very rash, especially when angered.[18][25] He has often been tricked by Doctor Robotnik, but is stated in one game manual to have become more skeptical of him.[26]

While slower than Sonic, Knuckles is depicted as one of the series' strongest characters and a skilled martial artist: his brawny physique allows him to lift objects many times his size and weight, while his powerful fists enable him to smash through boulders.[17][18] He can also glide long distances by trapping air under his dreadlocks, and can climb up walls using the spikes on his gloves.[18] Unlike Sonic, Knuckles is able to swim.[23] As is typical among Sonic characters, Knuckles can roll into a ball to attack enemies.[27] He also has an empowered "super" form: using the Chaos Emeralds allows him to transform into Super Knuckles. Using the Super Emeralds allows him to transform into Hyper Knuckles.[28]
Knuckles is one of the series' most popular characters. His likeness has frequently appeared in Sonic merchandise.
