Captain Claw

Captain Claw is a orange crab with blue eyes. Captain Claw patrolled the Mobian Channel in his octopus-like machine crushing the vessels of any traveller who tried to cross it. Upon returning to The Floating Island Knuckles had to cross this channel and had a run in with Captain Claw, who smashed the row boat Knuckles was given by Captain Plunder and almost caused him to lose the chest of documents about The Floating Island. Once the captain realised who Knuckles was he made it his aim to capture him and hand him over to Robotnik for the reward money offered for Knuckles’s capture. But the echidna was able to defeat him and use his broken machine to finish the journey across the channel. However, after crossing the channel Knuckles had no choice but to let Captain Claw go free since while Robotnik was ruler no one would be able to lock the villain up.
