Sonic.EXE is a prominent antagonist within the creepypasta horror subgenre, drawing inspiration from the popular Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise. He first appeared in a story of the same name, published online in 2011. The character is presented as a demonic entity inhabiting a haunted or corrupted version of the Sonic game.

Visually, Sonic.EXE is a grotesque perversion of the original Sonic. He is typically depicted with bleeding black eyes, glowing red pupils, sharp teeth, and often blood dripping from his face. This unsettling design contributes to his menacing presence and underscores his inherently evil nature.

In most narratives, Sonic.EXE possesses godlike powers within his digital realm, allowing him to manipulate the game's environment and torture characters. The stories often involve other iconic Sonic characters being brutally murdered or transformed into soulless entities under his control, serving as his corrupted minions. He often utters the phrase "I am God."

While not officially part of the Sonic canon, Sonic.EXE has become a well-known figure in internet horror, spawning numerous fan games, artwork, and adaptations. His enduring popularity lies in his ability to subvert the familiar and beloved imagery of the Sonic universe, creating a disturbing and uncanny experience for audiences.
