Kid Cruel

Kid Cruel is a simian gangster who terrorised the town of Forest Hills with his band of Coconuts badniks. He kidnapped the local children and used them as organic batteries for the Coconuts, then forced thwe parents to hand over all the gold from the local gold mines. As insurance against interference by Sonic the Hedgehog, he rigged each of his badniks with bombs that would explode on any kind of impact. Believing he had thwarted Sonic, he called Doctor Robotnik to collect the bounty on Sonic's head. When Sonic disabled the badniks and defeated Kid Cruel, Robotnik arrived from the Special Zone. He was presumably punished for his failure.

He is a large simian, perhaps a gorilla, with a Don King-style haircut. He wears rose-coloured glasses, a purple suit, and carries a cane.

Trivia
