The Blodex[1] are a species that appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. They are a race of ant-like aliens hailing from the planet Thoraxia.

Description[]

Anatomy[]

The Blodex resemble anthropomorphic crimson ants, with exo-skeletons instead of skin and large red eyes, though they have eight limbs as opposed to six. In addition, each of their hands have two fingers and a thumb, while their feet are three-toed.[1]

Characteristics and culture[]

The Blodex appear to operate on some form of monarchy, as Sonic was brought before four high-ranking Blodex upon arrival. At least one large Blodex city exists, in addition to a large six-legged vessel used for scouting operations, suggesting a high level of civilization and technology in their culture. It is unknown, however, if these are unique constructs of the Blodex. The Blodex also appear to be generally welcoming of outsiders, even if initially skeptical.[1]

Powers and abilities[]

Blodex are capable of telepathically accessing the thoughts of others, allowing for them to easily learn other languages. They also appear capable of harnessing the power of the red Chaos Emeralds, as legends states that a Blodex named Aypex once used these Emeralds to defeat the Bzzz, although it is unknown whether this is a trait shared with all Blodex or not.[1]

History[]

Past[]

According to legend, the Blodex suffered greatly from attacks performed by the warmongering Bzzz and their queen, until a Blodex named Aypex used the power of the red Chaos Emeralds to destroy all the invaders. This led to both a period of peace lasting several thousand years, and Aypex reaching legendary status among Blodex. However, the Bzzz eventually returned under a new queen, and continued their raids on the Blodex city.[1]

Tossed In Space[]

A small group of Blodex on a vessel found Sonic the Hedgehog after he was teleported to their planet. Believing the Blodex to be capturing him, Sonic escaped, but came back to protect the Blodex from an army of attacking Bzzz forces. Realizing Sonic was their ally, the Blodex accessed Sonic's language and brought him to their city while thanking him. Sonic was brought before four high-ranking members of Blodex society, who explained that although they were unable to help him return to Mobius, a D'novuland trading vessel would arrive the next day. Until then, the hedgehog would be their guest. Sonic continued to tour the city, led by a Blodex named Deeble, who showed him the Statue of Aypex, and explained its history. However, during the following night, the Bzzz led an attack on the city, led by their queen. The queen used her acid stinger to injure several Blodex, before she and the other Bzzz were defeated by a independent manifestation of Super Sonic created by Sonic's contact with six of the red Chaos Emeralds.[1]

However, this only made the situation worse, as the independent Super Sonic wished only to instigate destruction. While the being burst through entire buildings and caused mayhem, Sonic rushed around, saving the trapped and wounded Blodex. Eventually the evil Super Sonic left the burning Blodex city to destroy Thoraxia's two moons. He ended up being stopped by Sonic, and the Blodex were saved.[2]

Order from Chaos[]

Several Blodex later watched in awe as the red Chaos Emeralds left their resting places on Thoraxia, having been summoned by A.D.A.M.'s Summoning Spire.[3]
