The Egg Shackle[1] (エッグシャックル[2] Eggu Shakkuru?) is an enemy that appears in Sonic Unleashed. They are a model of Badniks created by Dr. Eggman. These small robots are able to latch onto their opponents and leech them dry of Rings.

Appearance
The Egg Shackles bear a strong resemblance to the Egg Bursts. They are ball-like in shape with over the upper half of their body being dark spring green, with a carrot orange ring around their lower half and a yellow underbelly. On their front, they have a carrot orange circle as face, where they have two cyan eyes and a curved felt of cyan lights resembling a smile. On their bottom, they have four carrot orange spikes for legs, and they have five dark spring green spikes on their top.
Overview
The Egg Shackles only appear in the daytime version of Mazuri's Entrance Stage in the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 versions of Sonic Unleashed, and the daytime version of Jungle Joyride Act 1 in both versions of the game. They are difficult to spot at high speeds due to their small size, however.
In gameplay, the Egg Shackles can attach themselves to Sonic whenever he makes physical contact with them when not attacking, where they start draining the player completely of Rings, eventually resulting in the player losing a life. Additionally, they prevent Sonic from jumping very high or using the Sonic Boost. To shake the Egg Shackles off Sonic, the player has to repeatedly use the Stomp or Foot Sweep.
Personality
The Egg Shackles are noted to have cute movements.[1]
Powers and abilities
The Egg Shackles have the ability to latch themselves onto their opponent and then literally drain the opponent of the Rings they have obtained.
Trivia
- The Egg Shackle's attack pattern of draining the player's rings is very similar to the Mega Chopper from Hydrocity Zone.
