Master Zik

"I shall prepare for you a lesson in respect... a painful lesson."

- Master Zik

Master Zik (マスタージーク) is the eldest member of the Deadly Six, and one of the villains set to appear in Sonic Lost World. He is the founder of the Deadly Six and the teacher of Zavok.

Physical Appearance
Master Zik is a blue Zeti, and the smallest of the Deadly Six by far. His head and body are indistinguishable and are of a spherical shape, with small limbs. Only Master Zik's head is sky blue, while the rest of his body is black. He wears a robe that matches the colour of his torso with a torn hem on his wrists and around the waist. His short black legs end with two blue claws, with a third claw on each heel. Unlike the other Zeti, Master Zik does not appear to have a tail. Master Zik has five fingers on each sky blue hand, each finger tipped with a blue nail.

Master Zik has wrinkles across his forehead and lips, and a long white moustache which reaches down to his feet. He has a pair of very short horns on his head, which are colored in black and yellow rings. He is largely bald sans for a long strand of white hair. Master Zik's sclera are yellow with purple irises, while he has blue eyelids and black under-eyes. Master Zik carries a wooden staff that is taller than he is, which ends in a inward swirl at the top.

History
Many years prior to the evens of Sonic Lost World, Master Zik founded the Deadly Six. At some point in his life, Master Zik went into semi-retirement, though he still remained an active part of the Deadly Six.

In Sonic Lost World, Doctor Eggman harnesses the power of Master Zik and the other Deadly Six in an attempt to defeat Sonic the Hedgehog and conquer the world. However, Master Zik and the Deadly Six rise up against Eggman after a reckless accident by Sonic and break free, threatening to destroy the world on their own.

Master Zik is the third of the Deadly Six to be fought, both encountered in the third level and the third to be fought in Lava Mountain. After Sonic defeats him in Lava Mountain, he explodes in a puff of smoke.

Personality
Master Zik is very wise, and apparently hates disrespect, saying that Sonic should learn to be respectful (though this may be because of Sonic going against the Deadly Six), though he normally takes it easy.

He and the rest of the Deadly Six are apparently malicious by nature. As soon as they broke free of Eggman's control, Master Zik and the rest of the Deadly Six decided to destroy the world outright.

Powers and Abilities
Many of Master Zik's abilities are as of yet unknown, though that alongside the other Deadly Six, Master Zik has enough power that Eggman desired to use them in his latest scheme to conquer the world.

Master Zik is a fighting genius, possessing unparalleled wisdom and powers, and has been stated to have taught Zavok, suggesting he is extremely powerful. Despite being old and in semi-retirement, Master Zik's acquired skills allows him to fight with the strength and agility of someone a fraction of his age.

Master Zik is able to balance perfectly on his staff and on giant rolling fruits, perform body flips in a split second, and jump long distances in a straight line. He also has the ability to project blue unidentified blasts from the palm of his hands.

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

Battle
Master Zik is encountered at Tropical Coast on the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World. He is fought at Zone Two of Tropical Coast, as he rolls on a giant apple that can crush Sonic. Also, there is a point where Master Zik is surrounded by fruit as Sonic must use the Homing Attack to destroy the fruit. Master Zik can also bring up a shield from the palm of his hand to block hits from Sonic.
