Crawl



Crawl (Guardon ガードン in Japan) is a badnik from the Casino Night Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. He is the only enemy in the stage. It also appear in Sonic Spinball hidden Bonus Stage.

The origin of Crawl's design is unknown. It has a grey, torso-like body, a red head with mandibles (vaguely resembling the heads of insect-shaped badniks such as Buzz Bomber or Caterkiller), and yellow crab-like pincers. It also carriers a shield in the form of a bumper, which it can use to protect itself and knock Sonic away. It can only be destroyed by a Spin Attack from behind.

Trivia
