Crawl (Sonic the Comic)

The Crawl is a character that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. It is a Badnik variant created by Dr. Ivo Robotnik.

Appearance
The Crawls have a rotund torso with a vent on their belly and a neckless red head with insectoid mandibles and two large eyes. Possessing short limbs, they have a crab-like pincer on one arm while the other wields a red Bumper shield with a dark center and yellow star in it. The details in their coloration often varies.

History
A single Crawl was sent along with other Badniks to attack the Emerald Hill Zone, but was quickly destroyed by Shortfuse the Cybernik before doing any damage. Later, Sonic the Hedgehog disguised himself as a Crawl in order to successfully access a Badnik Processing Plant along with the other Freedom Fighters.

A Crawl later faced Sonic and Tails in the Hill Top Zone, but ended up in a lava pool.
