Knuckles the Echidna (ナックルズ・ザ・エキドゥナ) is one of the main characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is an anthropomorphic echidna and the current guardian of the Master Emerald, a powerful ancient relic which is his solemn duty to protect from anyone seeking to abuse it. He is also the sole surviving descendant of the echidna race from the Knuckles Clan. His dominant traits are his super strength and the two spike-like knuckles on each of his hands, from which his name is derived from, which he can use to dig with and climb walls. He can also trap the wind under his dreadlocks to glide through the air.

Amy Rose[]
Amy Rose has only been seen interacting with Knuckles on very rare occasions, although they seem to have an awkward, yet at the same time, friendly relationship. During the War to Take Back the Planet, they were teammates as part of the Resistance. Although they got along well, Amy had to keep Knuckles in check at times.

Dr. Eggman[]
Dr. Eggman is Knuckles' worst enemy. They first met during the Angel Island incident, where the doctor, at the time carrying the name "Dr. Robotnik", tricked the echidna into believing that Sonic and Tails were thieves trying to steal the Chaos Emeralds. At the last second, however, Knuckles could see through the villain's lie and joined the hedgehog's side to stop him. In the later crises that arose though, the echidna, due to his gullible nature, was still occasionally manipulated by the scientist in his favor, which made him feel very embarrassed when Sonic found out about it.

Miles "Tails" Prower[]
Miles "Tails" Prower is a close friend of Knuckles. Although they do not seem to have much of a relationship in the earlier games, when they first met, Knuckles and Tails were enemies, as Dr. Robotnik had tricked the echidna into believing Tails and Sonic were intruders seeking the Master Emerald for evil purposes, though they become friends when Knuckles discovers that Robotnik had lied to him.

Sonic the Hedgehog[]
Sonic the Hedgehog is Knuckles' rival and best friend. While they have known each other for a long time, their relationship is somewhat complicated, the two of them having been summed up as "best frenemies." When the echidna first met the hedgehog, the two had the worst kind of encounter, with the former trying to keep the latter from stopping the Death Egg's re-launch after Dr. Robotnik had deceived him into thinking that Sonic was a thief seeking the Master Emerald. As such, they started off as adversaries. However, when Knuckles discovered that the doctor had tricked him, he joined forces with the hedgehog to stop his nemesis. Afterward, they parted ways on good terms.
He and Sonic make a "Boulder Whirlwind" if Knuckles uses "Boulder Bash" and Sonic uses "Blue Tornado" for Spell 4.
He and Sonic make a "Supreme Hedgehog Echidna Combo" if Knuckles uses "Face my Hyper Form" and Sonic uses "Limit Break" for Spell 5.
