Knuckles is a red, teenage, anthropomorphic echidna, and while Sonic has large, spiky hair locks, Knuckles has some wicked red dreadlocks. He also has a white crescent birthmark on his chest. His first game appearance was in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, released on February 2, 1994 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. He was described as being 15 years old when he made his debut, but since Sonic Adventure, he is now given the age of 16.

Knuckles' name is derived from the four knuckles, two on each hand, which are actually sharp spikes. His task since birth has been to guard the Master Emerald, which is located on Angel Island. According to official Sonic Team polls, Knuckles is the fourth most popular character in the series.

Knuckles the Echidna is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series by Sega. He first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in 1994.

He is a red echidna and is known for his strength and ability to glide. Knuckles is the guardian of the Master Emerald on Angel Island. He was initially tricked by Dr. Robotnik (later known as Dr. Eggman) into believing that Sonic and Tails were a threat to the Emerald.

Knuckles is often portrayed as serious and independent, though he has a strong sense of duty to protect the Master Emerald. He eventually learns the truth about Dr. Eggman's deceit and becomes a valuable ally to Sonic and Tails.
