They are nobody's friends. They are The Deadly Six and they are your worst enemies!

Dr. Eggman, Sonic Lost World

The Deadly Six (六­鬼衆 Rokkishū?, lit. "Band of Six Oni") is a villainous group of six Zeti[1] that serve as the primary antagonists in Sonic Lost World, with the true antagonist being Doctor Eggman himself. The group was founded by Master Zik many years prior to the events of the game.[2]

In Sonic Lost World, Doctor Eggman harnesses the power of the Deadly Six in an attempt to defeat Sonic the Hedgehog and conquer the world. However, due to Sonic's recklessness, the Deadly Six rise up against Eggman and break free, threatening to destroy the world on their own. As a result, Sonic and Eggman are forced to team up in order to stop them for good.[3]

In the end, the Deadly Six are defeated by Sonic, with four exploding in a puff of smoke (as opposed to exiting the battle arena as they do in their previous two battles) and two falling into the lava. While the Deadly Six's current status is unclear, judging by Eggman saying he'll try to control the Deadly Six again, suggests that they survived and merely escaped.

Concept and Creation

According to Takashi Iizuka, the Deadly Six are meant to bring a “sense of danger and humor” to the story of Sonic Lost World.[4] According to another interview with Takashi Iizuka at Summer of Sonic 2013, the Deadly Six are based off of "oni", which is a Japanese demon.

Members of the Deadly Six

Name Character Description
Zavok
Zavok
Zavok is the leader of the Deadly Six, and the member behind the destruction of the world and the depletion of Sonic. He's got his eye on one thing, and that's world domination. Strong, clever, merciless and cruel, he possesses great fighting abilities. He is also the former apprentice of Master Zik.
Zazz
Zazz
Zazz is one of the members of the Deadly Six in plans for the destruction of the world. He is the more short-tempered and hot-headed member of the six. He's nasty, ruthless, and crazily unpredictable. He loves to fight, and enjoys it more than eating three meals a day.
Zeena
Zeena

Zeena is a member of the Deadly Six and the only female member. She is feisty, cruel, cold-hearted, and is likely to complete a task when given one, though she has a terrifying temper that she is not shy about showing. She likes to look after herself and she’s not very likely to look after anyone else.

Master Zik
Zik

Master Zik is the founder of the Deadly Six and as well the oldest member of the group. He is wise and normally taking it easy in his semi-retirement. However, he is a fighting genius, having been Zavok's teacher, allowing him to with the strength and agility of someone a fraction of his age. He was once called the "strongest warrior". 

Zomom
Zomon
Zomom is a member of the Deadly Six and the largest member of the six. He is a gluttonous Zeti who has strange powers, and will eat everything in sight. He's dull-witted and slow, but makes up for it with bone-crushing strength.
Zor
Zor
Zor is a member of the Deadly Six. He's one with the shadows, both physically and mentally. He's the spy of the group, and carries a blue rose with him at all times. He's mean, moody, pessimistic, and nothing can amuse him. He utilizes powers so dark and forbidding, even the others would never use them.

Trivia

  • The colors of these villains match those of six of the Chaos Emeralds (red, yellow, green, purple, cyan and grey more precisely). They also resemble the colors of various Wisps (Green Wisp, Pink Wisp, Purple Wisp, Blue Wisp, Yellow WispCyan Wisp and Red Wisp).
  • Two of the Deadly Six, Zazz and Zeena, have tails resembling those of major recurring characters, Knuckles and Espio, respectively.
  • Similar to other powerful entities, Eggman attempts to control the Deadly Six in order to take over the world, only for them to turn against him. The main difference is that it happens early in the game, rather than towards the end.
  • Interestingly, the Deadly Six are portrayed in a more colorful, vibrant fashion than typical Sonic villains, not in the more grotesque and realistic style of previous 3D villains. Despite this, their dialogue and behavior suggest that their personalities are much darker, and they are possibly even more powerful than the aforementioned villains, even going as far as to directly reference death, mind control and even genocide. The game's E10+ rating is mostly due to these characters' behavior, according to the ESRB website.
  • Zazz, Master Zik, Zor, and Zomom are the only Deadly Six members whose names are mentioned in the game.
  • While the Deadly Six seemingly die after their final battles in the Wii U version, in the 3DS version they survive and merely fly away like in previous battles.
