Emerl (Sonic X)

Emerl is a temporal character in Sonic X.

History
Emerl was an ancient robot awakened by Bokken to help him distract Sonic while Doctor Eggman was being broken out of prison. He was found by Cream and Cheese and joins Sonic and co., particulary becoming friends with Cream.

Being able to copy the moves of any opponent, Emerl proves a formidable opponent. He helped Sonic defeat the television robots. Later, in episode 46, Emerl competes in the battle tournament for the Chaos Emerald. After winning the tournament, he absorbs the Chaos Emerald, restoring his old programming wiped from his defeat of Sonic. He then goes on a rampage, with Sonic, Knuckles, Rouge and the rest of the gang throw everything at Emerl until Cream and Cheese decide to attack him. They use moves too fast for him to copy and eventually defeat him, kicking him into the sea. The last thing he captured was Cream and Cheese crying, so he learned how to cry. Regaining his friendship, he cries and then explodes.

In the Sonic X comic, Emerl seems to have mistaken Eggman for his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik and considers him to be his master. Emerl is also seeking his place in the world. He was disassembled by Eggman by issue 11.

Trivia

 * In the TV series, Emerl was called "Emel" because of a mistranslated R.
