The Spiny[1] is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog story books published by Ladybird. It is a mass-produced, anemone-based Badnik model created by Dr. Ivo Robotnik.

Appearance

The Spiny is one of the few Badnik models whose design is not derived from an animal, though comparisons can be drawn to barnacles and anemones.

These robots scuttle about using five grippers located on their underside. The body of the Spiny Badniks are extremely small, with two photo-receptors jammed close together near a red spout at the top of their bodies. They also have black eyes with yellow sclerae. Also, around their spout prong out several triangular metal flaps which can unfold like a flower blooming. Standard Spiny colors are mainly gray with a bit of red mixed in, especially around the spout region.
