Chaos 0 is a transformation that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is the base state of Chaos, which he can attain without possessing any Chaos Emeralds, and is perhaps Chaos' most recognized form.

Appearance[]

As Chaos 0, Chaos possesses a humanoid form with disproportionally long arms and legs compared to his torso. He has thick forearms with three large fingers on each hand, a short stump for a tail, and long feet with two large toes each. He also has two fin-like protrusions on the back of his head, sharp flaps on each side of his head, and a tall bulge on top of his head. He also possesses no facial features, except for two pupil-less lime green eyes. Lastly, he has a round pink brain inside his transparent head, with a brain stem on the bottom.

History[]

Past[]

Approximately 3,000 years ago, Chaos would stay in his Chaos 0 form from the time he met Tikal and up the events where the Altar of Emerald came under attack by Pachacamac and his men from the Knuckles Clan. As the attackers trampled over the altar's native Chao and Tikal, Chaos, in a fury over seeing his friends getting hurt by the invaders, appeared before Pachacamac and his men in his Chaos 0 form as they went for the Master Emerald, before using the seven Chaos Emeralds in the altar to become Perfect Chaos. However, Chaos was eventually stripped of his power and sealed inside the Master Emerald with Tikal.

Sonic Adventure[]

In Sonic Adventure, its enhanced port Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, and the 2010 remaster, when Chaos was released from the Master Emerald by Dr. Robotnik, Chaos was resurrected as Chaos 0. Shortly after his revival in the Altar of Emerald however, he was attacked by Knuckles the Echidna, the guardian of the Master Emerald and the last descendant of the Knuckles Clan. After knocking the echidna away, Chaos 0 made his way to Station Square. Appearing at City Hall, he caught the attention of the Station Square Police Department. Though the officers were armed with handguns, the shots they took at Chaos 0 simply bounced off his body. As the police fell back though, he met Sonic the Hedgehog when the latter arrived to stop him . Upon being defeated by the hedgehog, Chaos 0 turned into a puddle and escaped into the sewers. The next day, Chaos 0 appeared at Dr. Robotnik's order after the doctor had taken a Chaos Emerald from Sonic and Tails. Receiving the Chaos Emerald from Robotnik, Chaos 0 transformed into Chaos 1. He was later reverted back to Chaos 0 again after Knuckles managed to take the Chaos Emeralds he had absorbed back, but he soon after managed to acquire all seven Emeralds and transform into Perfect Chaos.

After Super Sonic defeated Perfect Chaos, he was neutralized, and as such reverted back to his Chaos 0 form.

Sonic Battle[]

In Sonic Battle, Chaos 0 would be the form Chaos assumed while observing the Death Egg from the Estuary in Holy Summit.

Sonic Forces[]

In Sonic Forces, when Dr. Eggman tested the Phantom Ruby on Angel Island, he created an physical illusion of the village of the Knuckles Clan that included a Phantom Copy of Chaos 0, which emerged from the Master Emerald to fight Knuckles and Silver. However, it disappeared as soon as Knuckles and Silver defeated it.[3]

Chaos 0, alongside Metal Sonic, Shadow and Zavok, was soon after Phantom Copied by Infinite, Eggman's newest servant, through the use of his Phantom Ruby. The Phantom Copy of Chaos 0 himself was made a part of the Eggman Army's foremost soldiers. The Chaos 0 Phantom Copy soon after made its debut alongside the other three Phantom Copies to assist Infinite in defeating Sonic. Afterward, the Chaos 0 Phantom Copy helped Eggman conquer over ninety-nine percent of Earth.

Six months later, The Chaos 0 Phantom Copy ambushed Tails in the City while he tended to E-123 Omega. However, it was defeated by Classic Sonic when he emerged from a wormhole. Hundreds of Chaos 0 Phantom Copies were later present on the outskirts of the Eggman Empire Fortress where they took part in the final battle between the Eggman Army and the Resistance until all their sources were neutralized, ending the Phantom Copies' existence once and for all.

Powers and abilities[]

A liquid being, Chaos 0 has hydrokinetic abilities that gives him complete control over his physical structure, allowing him limited shapeshifting and the capacity to liquify his body for a small boost.[4] He can even transform into animal-like figures, such as dolphins.[5] If dissipated, he can also reconstitute himself in a matter of seconds, making him nearly indestructible. Additionally, Chaos can, through his powers, provide clean water in a chosen location[6] and hide in ponds without being spotted. His hydrokinetic abilities also allow him to create mysterious ripples and even freeze the air around his foes. Also, in addition to his indestructability, he is an immortal being.[7]

To further add to his abilities, Chaos possesses the uncanny ability to harness various types of elementals in combat for defensive moves, such as using water elementals to heal damage[8] and block attacks.[9] For offense, he can harness the power of water spirits to summon morphed hands[10] and fountains; make powerful claps;[11] extend his arms; or perform other impressive attacks.[12][13][14] Chaos can even use this power to place puddles that will attack nearby enemies.[15] Curiously, he can also harness air spirits to perform high jumps that allow him to reach tall lampposts with ease,[16][17] and can even use said spirits to fly in midair for a short period of time.[18] In addition, he can climb, glide, and breathe underwater.

Battle[]

Chaos 0 is fought as Sonic by default. In Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut and the 2010 remaster though, he can also be battled as Metal Sonic in the Boss Sub Game.

Boss guide[]

To defeat Chaos 0, all the player has to do is jump onto his brain to deal out damage. The player must dodge Chaos 0's attacks, while he is mainly extending his arms in an attempt to hit the player. After each hit, Chaos 0 will turn into a puddle and move to a different location in the battlefield.

After one hit to the brain, he spins around his axis while attacking with energy-charged fists. After two hits to the brain, Chaos 0 will jump onto street lights surrounding the player and attempt to hit the player by extending his arms. After dodging these hits, he will eventually jump back to the surface, leaving him vulnerable for an attack. Once the player hits Chaos 0 for the third time, he is defeated and the battle has been won. If the player fails to attack when Chaos 0 returns to the ground, he will use the same attack when it has been hit two times.

Trivia[]

  • Despite appearing before Emerald Coast, Chaos 0 cannot be fought in the demo version on the Xbox 360.

Books and comics[]

Archie Comics[]

Chaos01

Chaos 0, from Sonic the Hedgehog #82.

In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics, Chaos 0 was Chaos' most basic form. It used this form to interact with Tikal centuries ago, but later abandoned that form to become Perfect Chaos and take revenge on the Knuckles Clan when they incurred its wrath until it was sealed in the Ancient Onyx. Centuries later, Chaos was released by Dr. Eggman, but in a weakened state initially, but thanks to Eggman, it was eventually able to assume its complete Chaos 0 form. Chaos 0 soon after had a battle with Sonic, before later being transformed into Chaos 2. It was soon after forced back into its Chaos 0 state, but quickly became Perfect Chaos again after seizing the Super Emeralds until it was reverted back to its Chaos 0 form again by Super Sonic.

After the Super Genesis Wave rewrote history, Chaos 0's past became virtually identical to its game counterpart's. This form would also appear during the Shattered World Crisis where Chaos would use this form's power to keep the oceans of Sonic's World from draining.
