Vargz

The Vargz are an alien race that exist in the same space as Shanazar. They are one of many races that take part in the Space Race.

History
Prior to their appearance in the Space Race, a group of Vargz captured the family of Turbo and forced him to race for their freedom. After several successful races, a match between the Vargz and Skorrg was created, pitting Turbo against Mobius' Sonic the Hedgehog. Unused to zero-gravity, Sonic lost, with tradition stating that Skorrg's spaceship would be destroyed by the victors. However, with Amy Rose having commandeered the vessel, the losers decided to flee, shocking the Vargz. The enemy's captain ruthlessly ordered his men to open fire and chased Amy's fleeing craft. Eventually, Skorrg's ship was disabled by a powerful laser blast and the Vargz prepared for the final blow. Before they did this, they decided to beam Turbo aboard, allowing Sonic to stow away and enter the Vargz's bridge. Sonic quickly defeated two opponents with a Spin Attack but was electrocuted by the third. Turbo rebelled against his masters, giving Sonic time to finish the job.

Now that Sonic and Amy had control of their respective ships, both Skorrg and the Vargz were forced to form a truce, with the Vargz towing Skorrg's stricken ship back home. Later, Turbo was able to "convince" the Vargz to release his family.
