Zavok

"Playtime is over hedgehog."

- Zavok

Zavok (ザボック) is the leader of the Deadly Six and is one of the villains set to appear in Sonic Lost World.

Physical Appearance
Zavok is a red Zeti with a very stocky build. The majority of his upper body is pure red, as is his serpentine tail. He has five-fingered hands that end with sharp cyan-colored nails. Zavok's body from the waist down is black in coloration, ending in two-clawed feet with cyan toes. His head is relatively small compared to the rest of his body and his lower jaw sticks out, showing a row of spiked fangs.The upper half of his head is black save for red markings around his eyes, which are purple with yellow sclera. Zavok has what appears to be a relatively thick cyan-colored unibrow that forms a vaguely V-shaped crest. Sticking out from the sides of his head Zavok has two vicious curved horns that are striped in varying shades of dark grey. Zavok appears to be bald, sans for a cyan ponytail sticking out from the back of his head. Zavok has two rows of sharp black spikes sticking out of his shoulders. His only attire seems to be a pair of black bracelets with grey spikes jutting out.

History
In Sonic Lost World, Doctor Eggman attempts to harness the power of Zavok and the other Deadly Six members in an attempt to defeat Sonic the Hedgehog and conquer the world. However, Zavok and the Deadly Six rise up against Eggman after a reckless accident by Sonic and break free, threatening to destroy the world by themselves.

Personality
Zavok is a serious and very malicious being. Merciless and cruel, Zavok is willing to let nothing stand in his way of destroying the world to obtain world domination. He is described as being very clever.

Zavok comes off as very prideful, seeing that as Eggman no longer had a means of controlling them, Zavok and the other Deadly Six attacked him, with Zavok in particular encouraging them to make Eggman pay for their enslavement and abuse. Zavok's pride transcends into arrogance or at least a disrespect for others, which is shown when he called Eggman a "fool" for enslaving them and believing Sonic's fight against them is futile, saying it is his fate to be destroyed.

Powers and Abilities
Many of Zavok's abilities are as of yet unknown. All that is known is that alongside the other Deadly Six, Zavok has enough power that Eggman desired to use them in his latest scheme to conquer the world. He is described as very strong and possesses great fighting skills.

He has the ability to fire large fire projectiles from his palm and even can harness enough energy to become immensely great in size but only when enough power is channeled.

As a Zeti, Zavok possesses the innate ability to manipulate magnetic fields, which allows him to take control over electronics, such as Badniks. When taking control of electronics, Zavok touches his forehead and then uses his hands to issue commands.

Battle
Zavok is encountered at Sky Road in the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World. He rides and controls a giant, robotic serpent-like dragon with the same color scheme as Zavok. There is an encounter against Zavok, as well, as Zavok (without the robot dragon) punches and stomps on Sonic at an Zone Two of Sky Road. In Zone Four, Zavok rides the dragon, as the robot dragon shoots fireballs at Sonic, but the weak point is shown as the tail. This battle takes place in a planetoid-sphere arena which eventually turns into a 2.5D arena in Zone Four.

Archie Comics
Zavok appears in Sonic Halloween Comic Fest 2013 and in Sonic Super Special Magazine #9 published by Archie Comics in the comic adaption of Sonic Lost World.

In the comics, Dr. Eggman, Orbot, and Cubot find the Lost Hex after searching for an unknown period of time. Eggman and his lackeys explore the Lost Hex, but are then startled by Zavok, who questions the trio's appearance on the Lost Hex. Eggman recognizes Zavok as one of the Zeti species and the two quickly challenge each other to a duel, with Eggman using his Buzz Bomber badniks to fire at Zavok.

Trivia

 * Zavok's name may be based on the word "havoc", fitting his role as a world-destroying villain.
