The Knuckles Clan is an ancient tribe of Echidnas native to Sonic's World, of which Knuckles the Echidna is the sole surviving member of.

History
Past Over 4000 years ago, the Knuckles Clan thrived in the Mystic Ruins, developing a stable society and building several large structures in the area. At some point in time after Pachacmac gained leadership of the clan, he desired to obtain the seven Chaos Emeralds that were guarded by the Chao, despite his daughter, Tikal, constantly and vigourasily insisted he not let his greed take over his better judgement and that it was cruel to harm others for such reasons. Despite his daughter's warnings however, Pachacmac and the rest of the tribe invaded the Master Emerald's Altar in order to steal the emeralds, only to be confronted and destroyed by Perfect Chaos.

Despite this, however, it is implied some Echidnas still survived, given that Knuckles is a descedant of this tribe, and the fact that there are stone tablets depicting Perfect Chaos' attack on the Knuckles Clan. Current Day In the current day, the only surviving member of the Knuckles Clan is Knuckles himself, who lives alone on Angel Island, guarding the Master Emerald.

Tikal too appears in the current time as a spirit during the events of the Chaos saga, but by the end, she and Chaos appear to move on to the afterlife.
