Chocola[2] (チョコラ,Chocora?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are a Chao and the twin "brother" of Cheese,[3][2] who is the companion of Cream the Rabbit. They have an unspecified connection to Chaos and possesses data on its powers. They were once kidnapped by Neo Metal Sonic for his data, but was saved by Team Rose. They currently live with Cream and Cheese.[4]
Chocola is almost identical to Cheese, differing only in coloration. Like most other neutral Chao, they have a teardrop-shaped head with yellow tips on their arms, legs and the top of their head, and have a yellow pompom above them and pink butterfly-like wings. Unlike Cheese, however, Chocola has brown skin where Cheese has light blue. They also wear a blue bowtie.
History
Sonic Heroes
In Sonic Heroes, Chocola was kidnapped by Neo Metal Sonic (disguised as Sonic) alongside Froggy for their connection to Chaos. Chocola and Froggy were later stored inside Neo Metal Sonic while the robot copied their data on Chaos. Eventually, they were freed when Team Rose, who had been searching for them, defeated Neo Metal Sonic in the Egg Emperor, and Chocola was happily reunited with Cheese.
Soon after, Chocola and Team Rose arrived at the site where Neo Metal Sonic showed himself with Team Sonic, Team Dark and Team Chaotix, where Neo Metal Sonic used the data he had copied from Chocola, Froggy and the other teams to become Metal Madness. Chocola then remained behind while the teams fought Metal Madness and Metal Overlord. After Metal Sonic was defeated, Chocola and the majority of Team Rose said goodbye to Amy when she took after Sonic.
Powers and abilities
Like other Chao, Chocola is capable of flight in midair.
Though Chocola is genderless,[1] they were referred to as male in Sonic Heroes.
Chocola's name and color are a reference to chocolate, keeping in line with Cream, Vanilla and Cheese's names which are all based on food products.
Amy name-drops Chocola in LEGO Dimensions when listing her past accomplishments during a quest in the Sonic the Hedgehog Adventure World, which was the first time they had been referenced in a video game in thirteen years.
