Walter Naugus

Walter Naugus is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is a powerful magician who seeks to become the ruler of the Kingdom of Acorn. During his time as King Acorn's Royal Wizard, he was banished to the Special Zone and was trapped for years until he eventually escaped. After escaping, Naugus became an immediate enemy of Sonic the Hedgehog who has regularly thwarted his plans to take over the Kingdom of Acorn.

Appearance
Naugus' appearance is mostly humanoid, retaining most of his physical appearance from his Sonic the Hedgehog television series counterpart, though his body is covered with a coat of peach/light brown-colored fur and his eyes are red. His right hand is completely normal, but his left resembles a lobster claw, though both are covered by gray gloves. These are matched by a pair of boots, and Naugus' wardrobe also includes a black cape and a plain suit underneath-this has been shown to be blue on some occasions and purple on others. Other indications of Naugus' non-human nature are the horn sprouting from the top of his head, a long white beard, sharp teeth and his large, pointed ears.

Countdown to Chaos
Naugus, apparently ruling Castle Acorn, was ambushed by Dr. Eggman, who had sent out Tails Doll to mutate into a monster and destroy Mobotropolis. Because of this, and that fact Naugus lost his magic somehow prior to the events of Sonic the Hedgehog #252, Naugus commanded Nicole the Holo-Lynx to make a Super Ring in order to restore the ex-wizard's magic. Nicole, however, told Naugus that she cannot make a Super Ring immediately due to its power, which angers Naugus. Naugus commands Nicole to make a Super Ring immediately, and he picks up Nicole's hand-held state. Suddenly, Naugus is given visual memories of the old timeline. Horrified, Naugus throws Nicole out of Castle Acorn and, in an attempt to get rid of these new memories, flees to somewhere else, leaving Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower to deal with the Tails Doll monster.

Personality
Greedy beyond belief, Ixis Naugus is willing to go to any lengths to increase his own power. Incredibly vengeful, he never forgets being offended, and does his best to pay those who have done so back. Naugus is also partly if not completely insane, making him a dangerous and unpredictable opponent. His mental state has also made him relatively fearless, allowing him to insult his lessers or betters without qualm. As with many villains, he sees his minions only as pawns to use in his various schemes.
