**********

Wechnia (informally known as White Echidna) is a glitch character in the game Knuckles' Chaotix. He is a recolor of Knuckles, with silver-white fur, red strands in his dreadlocks, and red eyes. Despite being a recolor of Knuckles, Wechnia is actually what remains of Tails' data from Sonic Crackers.

Basic Info
This character is referenced on the level select screen as "**********. PACHUKA coined the term "Wechnia" by combining the words "white" and "echidna". It was rumored that Wechnia was originally Tails at one point, since he is listed second on the level select after Mighty. This was later confirmed with the release of the Knuckles' Chaotix 1207 Beta, which contains the life icon for Tails present in the ROM.

Abilities
In addition, Wechnia also has the ability to fly and tire after a while exactly like Tails, and contains a similar palette consisting of colors suitable for him, such as shades of orange and red. In the later prototypes and the final Wechnia uses Mighty's wall kick rather than flying.

To play as or have Wechnia as a partner, go to the Options menu and select "Color Test". Three pairs of 00 should be surrounded by <>. Hold and press until the first pair is 06.
