Stripes (Sonic the Comic)

Stripes is a badger who is a resident of the Emerald Hill Zone. He is best friends with a dog named Ruff.

Ruff and Stripes stumbled across Badnik Sonic destroying Star Posts as part of Doctor Robotnik's plan to eliminate all access to his new Special Zone base. Ruff was convinced that this badnik was the real Sonic, citing his crazy spikes and ability to spin as proof, although Stripes thought that the being they saw was too large to be Sonic. The two of them were soon ambushed by badnik versions of themselves, and Stripes was installed as an organic battery in the Badnik Stripes. Ruff and Stripes were later freed when Sonic blackmailed Robotnik into releasing the captives.
