King Arthur's horse is a character that appears in Sonic and the Black Knight . It is a horse made of dark magic and the personal steed of King Arthur , who uses it as his main method of transportation.
Appearance
King Arthur 's steed is a non-anthropomorphic horse made completely of dark magic, standing even taller than its rider. It is quite muscular with black fur, pupil-less yellow eyes, and a thin tail.
The beast is covered in heavy armor. This armor consist of pointy grey and black leg covers, dark golden plating running up its neck to its muzzle, a black, purple and red neck band, a dark golden chest plate with a purple eye on it, and multilayered dark golden back armor with elaborate symbols and a red saddle.
History
During his reign as the Black Knight, King Arthur used his horse to pursue and corner Merlina the Wizard . When Sonic the Hedgehog then showed up and escaped with Merlina after dispatching Arthur's minions , Arthur's horse carried its rider during Arthur's search for the pair after Arthur gave his knights new assignments. Upon finding Sonic, Arthur and his horse had a brief fight with Sonic and Caliburn before leaving him to his own futile efforts to stand against them.
Arthur's horse dissolving after its master's defeat.
A couple of days later, King Arthur and his horse fought Sonic and Caliburn again on Avalon . This time however, Sonic proved too much of a match for them and upon Arthur's initial defeat, his horse seemingly dissolved into thin air.
Powers and abilities
