Aman-Rapi[1] is a character that appears in the Sonic Underground television series. He is an ancestor of Queen Aleena, Sonic, Sonia, and Manic, and was a sorcerer and prophet in Mobius' ancient times.[1]
Appearance[]
Aman-Rapi looks nearly identical to Sonic the Hedgehog, except that his quills are shaped in a different style, his arms are blue and gloveless, and he wears ancient Egyptian clothing typical of a pharaoh. His crown is a variation of the Pschent, or the double crown, though it is white and gold with a green Uraeus.
History[]
TV series[]
Season one[]
In his own time, Aman-Rapi foretold the coming of Dr. Robotnik and inscribed a blueprint on how to defeat him on a scroll which was placed in his tomb. Later, when the royal hedgehogs came looking for the scroll, Aman-Rapi's mummified minions mistook Sonic for Robotnik. After the Sonic Underground granted his request for a song, he used his spell of immobility to freeze the invading enemies long enough for them to escape. Unfortunately, the scroll was so old that when it was removed from its tube, it crumbled to dust. However, Aman-Rapi had left one message. Inscribed on the tube was a hieroglyph, which when translated, meant "Hedgehogs will prevail".[1]
Personality[]
Aman-Rapi's personality is extremely similar to that of Sonic the Hedgehog, even complimenting him on how handsome he was. However, while Sonic speaks quite informally and uses slang, Aman-Rapi speaks formally.[1]
Trivia[]
- Two other ancient Egyptian ancestors of Sonic, Masonic and the Mummified Hedgehog, previously appeared in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode, "Robotnik's Pyramid Scheme".
- Aman-Rapi's name is likely a reference to the Egyptian god, Amun-Ra, which was a fusion between the universal god Amun and the sun god Ra.
