Wisp (Archie)

The Wisps are a species that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. They are a diminutive, yet powerful alien species originating from Planet Wisp.

Anatomy
The Wisps are similar in overall appearance to underwater cephalopods, such as squids. Regular Wisps all share certain common physical characteristics, such as having a mouthless head with three tentacles stemming from the bottom and being not much taller than half a meter.

Powers and abilities
All Wisps are able to levitate at will, which serve as their main method for movements.

History
During a previous adventure, Sonic and Tails (with the aid of a Wisp named Yacker) once rescued the Wisps from being enslaved by Dr. Eggman who wanted to harness their power.

The New Black Comet would at some point captured a number of Wisps in their experiments to create the Dark Arms, but left their homeworld intact due to being focused on reaching Sonic's World.

Trivia

 * The Wisps are based on the species that debuted in the video game Sonic Colors.
