The Artificial Chaos P-1 (人工カオスP-1, Jinkō Kaosu P-1^?) is a character that appears in Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a model of synthetic life-forms created by Professor Gerald Robotnik as a part of the Artificial Chaos project, a series of experimental cyborg weapons based on the ancient deity Chaos which roam the Space Colony ARK.

Appearance

The Artificial Chaos P-1s are generally large pillars of water, with a grey/white mechanical head shaped like Chaos 0's sitting on top. This head has Project Shadow's symbol on its forehead, light green pupil-less eyes, turquoise outlines, and a brainstem on the bottom.

Game appearances

Sonic Adventure 2

In Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Artificial Chaos P-1s are only found in the latter half of the games' main storylines and within the last story, but are some of the strongest foes encountered. They are found in the following Stages:

Character	Stage
	Normal mode	Hard mode
Sonic	Crazy Gadget	Crazy Gadget Final Rush
Tails	Eternal Engine
Knuckles	Meteor Herd Cannon's Core
Shadow	Final Chase
Dr. Eggman	Cosmic Wall
Rouge	Mad Space Cannon's Core

An Artificial Chaos, from Sonic Adventure 2.

In gameplay, the Artificial Chaos P-1s come in two variants according to attack patterns. The first variants stand on a fixed point, either on the ground or hanging down from something. They are very difficult to hit from afar, but easier when very close to them. These Artificial Chaos attack by quickly reaching out with long and extremely accurate tentacles in a circular pattern to stab the player, so while some are quite slow at turning, their attack makes up for it. A tip to avoid being hit is to be behind them, or Somersault in Sonic and Shadow's case. Alternatively, these variants will target the player with eye laser shots. The second variants also stand idly in one spot, but lack the tentacle attack. Instead, they attack with eye lasers when spotting the player or by spinning around while shooting lasers in random directions.

The Artificial Chaos P-1s' water bodies are invincible to attack, but attacking their heads will destroy them after one hit. When destroyed, they award the player with two hundred points and drop their power source: a Chaos Drive.

Shadow Generations

The P-1s return as enemies in Shadow Generations's Space Colony Ark stage. Like their previous appearance they can fire lasers from their eyes for ranged damage and extend their water tentacles if Shadow comes too close. Oddly, they no longer have the Project Shadow symbol on their foreheads.

Powers and abilities

An Artificial Chaos P-1 attacking with its tentacles, from Sonic Adventure 2.

Artificial Chaos P-1s are capable of firing lasers from their eyes and can extend tentacle-like stretches of water from their bodies (much like Chaos 0 itself), which are sharp enough to pierce their foes. They are also capable of clinging onto ceilings and other surfaces thanks to their body being made of water. Their liquid body structure likewise renders the majority of their bodies impervious to conventional harm.

Weakness

The Artificial Chaos P-1s' only weak spot on their otherwise invulnerable bodies are their solid heads. If its head is damaged, the Artificial Chaos P-1 will be destroyed.

Variants

Guard Type

The Guard Type, from Sonic Adventure 2.

The Guard Types are standing Artificial Chaos P-1s that can not only fire lasers and attack with tentacles, but also retract their heads into their bodies for defense.

Float Type

The Float Type are bloated Artificial Chaos P-1s which can float through midair. Otherwise, they possess the same tentacle- and laser abilities as their normal variants.

Trivia

• In the original Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure 2, the Artificial Chaos P-1s' liquid bodies had a transparent effect. In Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, the transparency effect was removed, making them appear to have a more "solid" appearance.
