Mike the Ox

Mike the Ox is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom franchise. He is an anthropomorphic ox who lives on Bygone Island, where he runs a small shop in the Village which doubles as a pet shop and an everyday store.

Appearance
Mike is a humanoid ox of average height, about a head shorter than Knuckles, with a slightly large and round torso and head, relatively thin arms and slightly stubby legs. He has grey fur with pale white skin on his front torso and wide muzzle, a medium sized black snout, almost cylinder-like ears, a pair of short white horns with black tips, three bangs of hair sticking up on his head and magenta eyes. For attire, he wears white gloves, a thin yellow neckerchief with flannel patterns, a green vine-like rope around his waist with a pouch attached, and green shoes.

TV series
Mike was one of the candidates who signed up to be Sonic's sidekick after he fired Tails, but did not make the cut. During a visit in the Village, Mike was about to have an ice cream, only for him and the villagers to be attacked by Dr. Eggman's Anti-fire Bot. Fortunately, he was saved by Team Sonic.

Having sold an umbrella to Eggman, Mike refused to take it back when the doctor wanted a refund for it after destroying it and called the police as Eggman left. The next day, he found Eggman's associates, Orbot and Cubot, at his shop whom he told to leave after telling them about Eggman. With life going on, Mike would also find the time to visit T.W. Barker's Circus of Wonders for a show. While in the Village one day, Mike and the villagers were rounded up by Dr. Eggman when he invaded the island. Just as they were left at the mercy for the Mega, Mike and the villagers were saved by Knuckles who had a serious case of bad luck that made the Mega destroy itself when he joined Eggman.

Later on, Mike took some time to see a colossal ball of twine where he was almost caught in a rockslide but was saved by Sonic.

Archie Comics
Mike was among the villagers who came to the Eggtoberfest, hosted by Dr. Eggman. As Mike began to appreciate Eggman's efforts, it was discovered that none of the rides worked and Mike formed an angry mob with the villagers until Eggman made the rides operational. However, Mike and the villagers were soon after attacked by Eggman's army when Eggman became hostile with their dislike of him until they were saved by Team Sonic.

Personality
Mike is described as a "regular Joe." While normally easy-going, he is a strict businessman in his shop and has no tolerance for attempts to trick him.

Dr. Eggman
As one of the villagers on Bygone Island, Mike does not trust Eggman the slightest since he is an evil genius who is always destroying his stuff and has poor personal hygiene. He especially holds his own personal distaste of the doctor due to him trying to make him refund an umbrella he bought and then broke, which in Mike's opinion was Eggman's most evil scheme yet.

Orbot and Cubot
Because of their association with Eggman, Mike holds equally dislike of both Orbot and Cubot, telling them that they got some nerve coming to his shop after Eggman tried tricking him.
