Egg Boss


 * For the version of this rank before the Super Genesis Wave, see Grandmaster.

Egg Bosses are a rank in the Sonic the Hedgehog and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. They are a group of twelve (thirteen counting Cassia) regional Mobian enforcers employed by Dr. Eggman to lead different units of his Egg Army across Sonic's World.

History
Shortly after returning to Sonic's World following the Super Genesis Wave, Dr. Eggman encountered some of his forces in the Efrika Plains. He was quickly made aware that his military was now known as the Egg Army, with it's various regional leaders titled as Egg Bosses. This first of these whom he encountered was Axel the Water Buffalo of the Efrika Unit, followed shortly thereafter by Lord Mordred Hood in Avalon. He next made contact with Tundra the Walrus in Artika, just before the beginning of the Shattered World Crisis. While attempting to find a solution to this development, Eggman attempted to contact one of his Egg Bosses near Spagonia but found that they were all busy trying to deal with the crisis themselves. After obtaining the Gaia Manuscripts, Eggman contacted Axel again with orders to increase security at his unit's base, as Eggman suspected that it could be one of the Gaia Temples.

Egg Boss sisters Cassia the Pronghorn and Clove the Pronghorn were later tasked with recovering a Chaos Emerald from Crystal Cave, but it was stolen by the New Freedom Fighters thanks to files stolen from Eggman by Sally Acorn. Before reassigning the pair, Eggman contacted Soumerca Egg Army Egg Boss Thunderbolt, who had also located a Chaos Emerald, and instructed her to prepare for the Freedom Fighters' arrival. Thunderbolt laid a trap for the heroes but was unprepared for Sonic the Hedgehog's Werehog transformation, which decimated her forces. An attempt to redeem herself by deploying the Flying Dynamo robot proved unsuccessful. Tundra managed to capture two of the Guardians of the Gaia Keys, only to lose them when Sonic the Hedgehog and Rotor the Walrus managed to infiltrate his base.
