The Rocky (ロッキー Rokkī?) is a creature that appears in the Sonic X anime series and its comic series published by Archie Comics. They are a race of non-anthropomorphic seals native to Sonic's world.
Description
Anatomy
The typical Rocky is a diminutive form of seal, although it resembles more a pinniped or walrus. They have grey-whitish skin/fur with rotund heads, two large blue eyes, small triangular flippers, and a fin-like hind flipper each. They each also have a fussy white muzzle reminiscing a mustache and a small black nose.
Characteristics
Although recognized as animal life, the Rockies are remarkably intelligent and sociable, having been shown to live in civilized environments and reside in their own houses.[1][2]
History
Anime
As a result of the effects of Chaos Control, several Rockies and other creatures got sent to Earth, raising worries about whether they would be able to coexist with humanity.[1] Eventually though, they got sent back to their home world.[3] However, it was not long before Dr. Eggman returned to threaten the Rockies with his plans to take over their world.[2]
Archie Comics
A number of virtual Rockies appeared in a simulation Dr. Eggman trapped Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies in. These Rockies would appear whenever Sonic and his friends freed them from Badniks or capsule prisons.[4][5]
Trivia
- The Rockies are based on the species of the same name that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
