Crimson Eagle

"Conquer the sky"

- Sonic Lost World - Colors trailer

The Crimson Eagle is a transformation used by Sonic the Hedgehog in the Wii U version of the upcoming game, Sonic Lost World. It is the Color Power Sonic gains when absorbing the Crimson Wisp and its Hyper-go-on energy. While in this form, Sonic transforms into an eagle and soars through the air for a limited time. Also, the Crimson Eagle can collect rings similar to a Light Speed Dash.

Physical Appearance
As the Crimson Eagle, Sonic's entire body turns into a large version of his own head, which is arguably not much larger than Sonic's full height, that is covered entirely in a crimson skin. However, the version of Sonic's head that he turns into has no ear canals except for his eyes, his ears falls down behind his head, and his eyes have lost their pupils and have turned pale yellow. Additionally, Sonic has gained a short curved beak-like appendage in place of his muzzle, and the top quills on the sides of his head have grown longer and are spread outward like wings, with three pink extensions similar to a bird's primaries, at the end of them.

Powers and Abilities
As the Crimson Eagle, Sonic can utilize this form's wings to achieve flight and soar through the air for a limited amount of time. Also, it appears the Crimson Eagle can use the Light Speed Dash to collect rings from afar.

Trivia

 * The Crimson Eagle has a similar ability to the Green Hover Color Power from the Green Wisp that appears on Sonic Colors.
 * This is, by far, the only Color Power of a Wisp that is based on an animal.
