Red Wisp

The Red Wisp (レッドウィスプ) is a type of Wisp which first appeared in Sonic Colors, though it only made a full appearance in the Nintendo DS version of the game, while making a cameo on the Nintendo Wii version. They grant Sonic the Red Burst Color Power.

Physical Appearance
The Red Wisps have a head that looks like a flaming teardrop with two small spikes at the top, and have three blue eyes that form a triangular pattern on their head. They also have three flame-like tentacles that stem from the head.

Sonic Colors
In Sonic Colors, when their homeworld was moved to Earth by Doctor Eggman, the Red Wisps and the rest of their race were threatened to be enslaved by Eggman, who wanted their Hyper-go-on to control the mind of everyone on Earth. Fortunately, the Red Wisps and the rest of their race were all freed thanks to Sonic the Hedgehog. After Dr. Eggman's Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park imploded into a black hole, the Red Wisps worked together with the rest of their race in stopping the black hole and succeeded, before returning with their homeworlds to their original place in the universe.

Sonic Generations
The Red Wisps reappeared in the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations in Tropical Resort, where they would grant Classic Sonic the Red Burst.

Sonic Lost World
The Red Wisps are set to appear in the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World.

Personality and Traits
The Red Wisps are a lively and energetic type of Wisps, but come off as slightly scatterbrained.

Abilities and Powers
As Wisps, the Red Wisps are able to float in midair at will, which serve as their main method for movement.

The Red Wisps are able to generate and store their own unique variant of a powerful energy known as Hyper-go-on inside their own bodies, which is their life source. It is unclear to what extent they can use their own Hyper-go-on, through they have been shown being able to restrain black holes made of Hyper-go-on.

The Red Wisps are able to enter the body of other beings, as if they are intangible, and lend their Hyper-go-on to the being in question. In Sonic's case, when using a Red Wisp's Hyper-go-on, it transforms him into the Red Burst, which allows him to create explosions made of fire.

Archie Comics
The Red Wisps made an appearance in the Archie Comics' adaption of Sonic Colors, in Sonic the Hedgehog #219. In the comics, some Red Wisps and a few other Wisps were chased by Orbot, Cubot and a pack of Egg Pawns, but one Red Wisp was saved by Sonic. After Sonic destroyed the Egg Pawns in a flash and send Orbot and Cubot running. A Red Wisp then joined Sonic, Tails, Yacker and some other Wisps, as Sonic ventured out to save the Wisp race from Eggman.
