[videotape]

The great emerald's power allows them to feel.

[KatelynNightlight]

_"Do I look like I need your power?"_

[ranchdressing]

...huh.  This explains why Knuckles can search for Master Emerald pieces.  His brain is familiar with the frequency.

[abyssbun]

Unlike the hedgehog the echidna does not chuckle and it rather flex it's muscles.

[Altar]

How SEGA went from this look to Knuckle's design, I'll never know. He looks nothing like this

[FonzoTheTrucker]

All this time I thought Echidnas were red with big knuckles and feet and glide through air... SEGA LIED TO ME!!!!

[amyburnett]

I heard they spend most of their time digging for emeralds.

[smugsneasel]

So...it can sense electromagentic signals?..."The Great Emerald's power allows me to feel"

[Caleyin]

How has everyone missed the fact that baby echidnas are called PUGGLES?

[Arwenrei]

the rarest type of echidna is the red echidna. it can search for pieces of any emerald (it mostly collects the master emerald.) its former name is knuckles. it can glide

[vousvxyez]

Wait a minute, this isn't the Witch of Greed.

[echidnathewitchofgreed]

Oh, that’s me? Somewhat close enough.

[wishcot]

It's nice to see mothers of different species. They all put in time and love all for their baby's well being

[-Mr-Frost-]

Echidnas aren't weird. They're just misunderstood.

[Ken]

So knuckles is the only mammel that came from an egg

[ArtiDecay]

So its a mammal but it lays eggs witch then hatch inside her marsipous and the babies come out like kangaroo babies.. interesting

[damon]

Knuckles & Knuckles 3 Knuckles the Echidna in Knuckles & Knuckles 2 & Knuckles: Knuckles & Knuckles.

[g-max]

Hedgehog: face it, your never going to get my power

Echidna: do I look like I need your power?

[dawnstorm]

Echidna is indeed one of the world's weirdest waifus

[ipeachykaylie]

You can call me Knuckles
Unlike Sonic I don't chuckle
