Zazz

"I've been itching for a fight all day!"

- Zazz

Zazz (ザズ) is one of the primary antagonists in Sonic Lost World. He is a Zeti and a member of the Deadly Six. When Dr. Eggman came to the Lost Hex, Zazz and the other Deadly Six were forced into serving the doctor with his Cacophonic Conch until Sonic the Hedgehog got rid of the conch, which led to Zazz and the others rebelling against Eggman and taking control of his forces. After that, Zazz went with Zavok's plans to makes him and the other Deadly Six stronger with Eggman's Extractor while destroying Earth, but was defeated by Sonic.

Physical Appearance
Zazz is a very tall and very lanky Zeti, with very thin limbs and body structure. The upper half of his body appears to be vibrant pink, while his body from the waist down is pure black, ending in two-clawed feet with purple toes. A third much smaller claw appears to jut out from his heels. Zazz has a long tail that appears to be bent into a vague "Z" shape, similar to that of Knuckles the Echidna. Zazz has a row of small black spikes running down his back, from the base of his neck to the middle of his spine. Zazz's thin arms end in proportionately large five-fingered hands, each finger tipped with purple nails.

Zazz has an oblong head with a large gaping mouth, which is filled with sharp teeth and a long cyan tongue. He has green irises with yellow sclera and black markings under each of his eye. On the top of his head Zazz has a pair of horns that point outwards, colored in alternating rings of black and light purple. Between them is a mohawk of purple hair.

Zazz wears a pair of black wrist cuffs with grey spikes on them, and a matching spiked collar.

History
In Sonic Lost World, Doctor Eggman harnesses the power of Zazz and the other Deadly Six in an attempt to defeat Sonic the Hedgehog and conquer the world. However, Zazz and the Deadly Six rise up against Eggman after a reckless accident by Sonic and break free, threatening to destroy the world on their own.

Zazz is the first of the Deadly Six to be fought. After Sonic defeats him the final time in Lava Mountain, he explodes in a puff of smoke and disappears; though his true fate is uncertain.

Personality
Zazz is a malicious, nasty and ruthless Zeti with an unpredictable personality. He often walks around with erratic movements and even twitches occasionally, and it is hard to tell what he will do next. He comes off as rather feral, as he gives off constant yells, always wears a very wild expression and attacking with equal savagery. Because of his unpredictability, however, it can be easy to turn the tables on him.

Zazz loves to fight and enjoys fighting more than eating three meals a day. He is always ready to fight someone, even before he knows what he will be fighting, and will pursue his enemies with relentless determination.

He seems to not care about others' personal space, as he got extremely close to Sonic's face in a cutscene.

Power and Abilities
Many of Zazz's abilities are as of yet unknown. All that is known is that alongside the other Deadly Six, Zazz has enough power that Eggman desired to use them in his latest scheme to conquer the world.

Despite his lanky build, Zazz appears to possess above average physical strength, being able to easily lift and carry the Moon Mech with just one hand. In addition, he also appears to have super speed abilities as he was able to carry the Moon Mech while managing to move at quick speeds to keep himself in front of Sonic.

As a Zeti, Zazz possesses the innate ability to manipulate magnetic fields, which allows him to take control over electronics, such as Badniks. When taking control of electronics, Zazz touches his forehead and then uses his hands to issue commands.

When the Deadly Six reprogrammed Dr. Eggman's Extractor, Zazz's powers got stronger than before.

Battle
Zazz is encountered at Windy Hill zone on both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World. His boss fight includes him holding his Moon Mech with one hand and using it to throw at Sonic. When riding the Moon Mech, stars come out of its mouth. Zazz can also charge with a headbutt at Sonic during the fight. There are two versions of the fight; a daytime-themed version and a nighttime-themed version for the Wii U version. The Nintendo 3DS version, however features only an evening-themed version of the fight.
