the Sonic the Hedgehog The game is primarily known for its fun, casual, and light gameplay. However, who knows the Sonic Franchise will know well that not all the characters in this world are happy like Sonic and his friends, because some are very scary because of their appearance and great power.

Although these types of characters are not that scary considering the franchise they belong to, there is still something very annoying about them every time they appear on the screen that can easily make the skin crawl. When it comes to who is the scariest of the bunch, the characters below are often considered top contenders.

8 E-123 Omega

Omega's desperation and thirst for revenge can make him terrifying

• First appearance: Sonic Heroes

After being shut down by Omega and sent to sleep by Dr. Eggman, the Egg-bot awakens from his slumber with a vengeance for his former master, ready to do whatever it takes to to hold it. Since Omega eventually has a single mind that includes taking down Eggman and stuff, he often comes across as quite intimidating, especially when he starts randomly throwing his gatling gun around a room, like what he does at the beginning of Sonic Heroes.

During the game, it started to lose a bit of its hard edge, but it cannot be denied that even looking at this powerful machine can cause fear, especially since there is no telling what it will do next.

7 Eclipse The Darkling

The Eclipse was created as the 'big brother' of the high-end but scary shoulder shade.

• First Appearance: Sonic Universe #59

Eclipse, an Archie character Sonic comics, is a member of Black Doom's army that was created for the sole purpose of Shadow the Hedgehog. Although he may share Shadow's arrogance, Eclipse is more aggressive than his peers. When Eclipse tries to convince Shadow to join the Black Arms, only to be turned down, Eclipse responds by trying to force Shadow's mind to control him.

Fortunately, Shadow's powers were able to remove Eclipse's abilities, but it still shows how dangerous this man can be, and his disregard for fair play. It's unlikely that fans will see Eclipse appear in the main game, but there's still a chance that Shadow's annoying 'brother' could make an appearance in a movie or spinoff soon.

Metal Sonic's amazing appearance makes him a dizzying sight to behold

• First appearance: Sonic CD

No matter what kind of changes and additions Eggman makes to Metal Sonic, Sonic's take on a robot always manages to look terrifying. This machine is programmed to do one thing and one thing only: eliminate Sonic by any means necessary, and as a result, it usually comes with all kinds of weapons and deadly equipment to get the job done.

It's also unfortunate that Eggman decided to make him a copy of Sonic, albeit with a more mature appearance and long limbs that he can use to catch his prey. He may be a fan favorite, but Metal Sonic is still so underrated that he comes across as downright creepy and intimidating whenever he appears in the game.

5 Imitating The Octopus

Mimic's ability to interpret appearances is absolutely terrifying

• First Appearance: Tangle & Whisper #1

Mimic the Octopus is a character that appears in the Sonic The Hedgehog IDW comic book series, and as the name suggests, he has the ability to shapeshift, which he often uses to impersonate other people. This already makes him a very scary character, because no one ever says that even a close friend can be a Mimic in appearance, but his original appearance is also disturbing, especially his bright white eyes and smile to deceive.

He is also shown to be very self-centered, as seen when he infiltrates the Diamond Cutters, and then turns them into a part of his master plan. If Sonic Team is looking for a scary villain to take on the upcoming game, they need look no further than Mimic the Octopus.

4 Mephiles

Mephile's great power combined with his design creates one of Sonic's most fearsome enemies to date.

• First Appearance: Sonic The Hedgehog

Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) didn't get much praise from fans upon release, but one area where Sonic Team knocked it out of the park was the villain, Mephiles. Of all the hedgehogs in the series, Mephiles is the most terrifying in terms of design, especially with its lack of a mouth and glowing eyes that seem capable of piercing the souls of those who look at it.

Mephiles are also shown to be very powerful, as shown when he literally kills Sonic with a beam of light aimed at his heart. His powers of manipulation and darkness make him a formidable, but also terrifying foe for Sonic and the gang, but even if he is defeated, he becomes popular enough to reappear to cause trouble. Sonic X Shadow Generations years later.

3 Dark Gaia

Eerie Dark Gaia is the personification of darkness and chaos in this world

• First appearance: Sonic Unleashed

After Eggman blows up the planet at the beginning of the Sonic Unleashedhe also awakens Dark Gaia, the serpent-like branch of the dark half of Earth's cosmic cycle. Since this creature is the embodiment of darkness and destruction, it makes sense why it has such a chilling appearance, and given its size, it could easily wipe out the planet's population if Sonic didn't stop it. him.

What makes Dark Gaia so terrifying is its apparent lack of consciousness, which means the behemoth can't negotiate or coordinate with its enemies. Instead, all he can do is use his powers to destroy anything that stands in his way, and even comes close to killing Sonic if Chip doesn't save him.

2 Black Doom

Black Doom's devilish appearance and haunting sound can easily make the skin crawl

• First Appearance: Shadow The Hedgehog

Black Doom makes his debut in the Shadow of the shoulder game where he tries to tempt Shadow to help him when he loses his memory. After a long hiatus from the series, he reappeared Sonic X Shadow Generations where he tried to pull Shadow's arm again, turning him into a 'perfect thing'. Doom's design is one of the strangest in the entire series, especially his glowing red eyes, or the single eye in the form of an octopus.

Since he's also the commander of the Black Arms, a once violent alien race, he also makes constant threats about taking over the world, which he could easily do if Shadow wasn't there to stop him. His basic strength, along with his design, already makes him a formidable foe to face, but his devilish voice only adds to the intimidation of Shadow's enemies.

1 Tails Doll

Nightmare fuel added to the light racing game

• First appearance: Sonic R

What is meant to be a unique bonus feature there Sonic R His life has been long after the first game was released. Of course, I'm talking about Tails Doll, a clone of Sonic's friend that Eggman created for racing, not fighting. Puppet Tails' interlocking face and dead eyes make him very scary and scary to look at, especially when he jumps in mid-air while on the run.

So many people were shocked by the Tails doll that it would eventually find its way into creepypastas online, becoming something of a ghost story for a long time. Sonic fans can talk about it around the campfire. Tails Doll has reappeared in some of the comics, but if it will make another appearance in the game, only time will tell.
