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 prominent character in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise, published by Sega. He first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in 1994.

Knuckles is depicted as a powerful and somewhat solitary echidna, acting as the guardian of the Master Emerald on Angel Island. Initially tricked by Dr. Robotnik (later Dr. Eggman), he believes Sonic and Tails are a threat and opposes them. He has a strong sense of duty and honor, which sometimes makes him gullible.

Known for his incredible strength and the ability to glide and climb walls with his spiked knuckles, Knuckles eventually becomes a valuable ally to Sonic and Tails, joining their adventures and fighting against Dr. Eggman's schemes. He is often portrayed as being hot-headed and impulsive but ultimately loyal and reliable.
