Dark Chao

Dark Chao are a type of Chao from Sonic Adventure 2, as well as its remake Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.

Dark Chao are similar in size to Neutral Chao or Hero Chao, but have their own distinguishing features. First of all, they have a dark red-brown color with magenta and violet edges on their hands and feet. Also, instead of a small mark at the center of their belly, there is a light pink mark in the shape of a crescent the top of its chest.

Dark Chao have a pink spikeball hovering above them instead of a sphere. They also have wings just like any other Chao, but they resemble bat wings. The eye colors are similar to a Hero Chao's, but the black outline has been replaced with sky blue. There is still white in the eye's center, however.

A Dark Chao can also evolve into a Dark Chaos Chao, also known as a Devil Chao, but it can only evolve this way during the its third evolution. After it has been reborn twice, give the Dark Chao one of every small animal without giving it any Chaos Drives. It will then evolve into a Dark Chaos Chao. To get a Dark Chao, feed it Dark Fruit and raise that Chao with Shadow, Rouge, and Dr. Eggman. Dark Fruit can be bought at the Black Market in SA2: Battle, or found randomly in SA2.

A Dark Chao also appears in Sonic Heroes, throwing mines at you during the Special Stages. They also appear in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, giving you several missions.

Trivia

 * In Sonic Rivals, the card with the Devil Chao mistakenly says Dark Chao.
