The Egg Shackle is an enemy that appears in the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 version of 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 on the top they have five dark spring green spikes.

Personality

The Egg Shackles are noted to have cute movements.

Powers and abilities

The Egg Shackles have the ability to latch themselves onto their opponent and then literally drain the opponent of the Rings he/she has obtained.

Overview

The Egg Shackles only appear in the daytime version of Mazuri's Entrance Stage and daytime version of Jungle Joyride Act 1. They are difficult to spot at high speeds due to their small size though.

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, resulting in the player losing a life. Additionally, they prevent Sonic from jumping very high or boost. To shake the Egg Shackles off Sonic, the player has to repeatedly use the Stomp or Foot Sweep.

Trivia

• The Egg Shackle's attack pattern of draining the players rings is very similar to the Mega Chopper from Hydrocity Zone.
