Hover Wispon (IDW)

The Hover Wispon is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by IDW Publishing. It is a Wispon that is themed after the Green Wisp.

Appearance
Modeled after the Green Wispon, the Hover Wispon consists primarily of a Green Wisp-shaped component. However, this component has a grey grille instead of an eye, holes on the forehead, and white-tipped tentacles. This component has a dark green arm with white joints connected to it on each side, which connect to a dark green handle behind the Green Wisp-shaped component.

Features and abilities
The Hover Wispon's signature function is its ability to hold Green Wisps inside it and harness their energies to power itself; without a Green Wisp inside it, the Hover Wispon is useless.

Past
Shortly before the end of the war between the Resistance and the Eggman Empire, a town that distributed Hover Wispons got taken over by the mercenaries Rough and Tumble, who took all the town's Wispons and Wisps for themselves.

Fallout
After the war, the Hover Wispons in Rough and Tumble's town got returned to their owners after Sonic and Knuckles defeated the mercenary duo.
