The Beatal[1] is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced Badnik created by Dr. Eggman.
Appearance
The Beatal has a green face on the side of their body. It also has a large yellow spiked club attached to its upper half. The Beatal's body is purple with a crevice that allows it to maneuver the club like a lever. Typical of other Badniks, they have large cartoon eyes. Lastly, the Beatal also sports a large pair of blue treads that allow it to move around, albeit slowly.
Overview

The only appearance of the Beatal is in Knuckles' Chaotix, where they are exclusively found in Amazing Arena. In gameplay, the Beatals slowly move back and forth. While moving, they swing their spiked clubs in an attempt to attack the player. The Spin Jump will have no effect on the Beatal, as Spin Jumping will simply cause the player to get hit by their club. Instead, the player has to hit a Beatal with either the Spin Attack or the Spin Dash to destroy it. Upon their destruction, the Beatal will drop a Dark Ring.
Powers and abilities
The Beatal is equipped with a spiked club that it can swing vertically in order to damage their foes.
