Spiker (The Official Sonic the Hedgehog Yearbook)

The Spiker is a character that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. It is a mass-produced, crab-based Badnik model made by Dr. Robotnik.

Appearance
Spikers are modeled after hermit grabs, and thus, have crab-like legs and have a metallic grey "shell" they live in. They have red faces with black eyes.

History
Spikers were one of two native Hill Top Zone Badnik models (the other being Rexons) to threaten Sonic. One Spiker fired its cone directly at Sonic but failed. A Spiker was later utilized to carry a frozen Sonic out of a hole and was later destroyed by a Spin Attack when Sonic got out.

Powers and abilities
Spikers are capable of launching their cones as projectiles.
