Merhogs are creatures that appear in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series. They are a species of aquatic Mobians that live underwater in Mertopia.

Description[]

Anatomy[]

Merhogs appear as half-hedgehog, half-fish hybrids. They have the torso, arms, and head of a hedgehog; their heads have hedgehog spines akin to Sonic's, but with no spines down their backs. Below their waist, they have fish-like tails with scales. The Merhogs come in various pale colors consisting of green, pink, orange, and yellow, with some deeper colors, like purple, for their belts or tails. The Merhog queen has a red tail.

While Merhogs' physique look identical to one another, their queen is bigger, with a more human-like face and a large pointy nose.

Characteristics and culture[]

Queen merhog

The Queen of the Merhogs, from "The Little Merhog."

An entirely female race, the Merhogs live in the hidden city of Mertopia, which is located in the caves of the ocean floor far off the coast of Mobius. Merhogs live under a monarchy with their Queen as leader.[1]

Powers and abilities[]

Merhogs are natural swimmers and are able to stand on their tails and breathe both on land and underwater.[1]

Trivia[]

  • Merhogs are inspired by the mythological mermaids, a mythological race who are believed to live in the ocean.
  • Other than Merhogs, there are also merfolk who live in Labyrinth. Unlike Merhogs, they appear more like the traditional mermaids and mermen, albeit green and covered in scales.[2]
