The Egg Magician (エッグマジシャン, Eggu Majishan^?) is an enemy that appears in Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced Pawn Series^[1] Badnik model created by Dr. Eggman, which is also the alter-ego of the Egg Bishop.

Appearance[]

The Egg Magicians resemble a gray Egg Pawn, wields a staff, and has a skirt-like covering similar to a robe instead of legs that covers its other "personality", the Egg Bishop. It also has a mean expression on its "face".

Overview[]

In Sonic Heroes, the Egg Magicians are encountered in Hang Castle and Mystic Mansion. Much like the Egg Bishop, the Egg Magician can cast a spell which heals all robots within the area including itself.

The Egg Magician has an additional attack where it casts a circular blue magic light at the ground where, if the player or one of their teammates stand in the area, Rings will continually be absorbed from them. If a character stands idly around the Egg Magician for long enough, they will mysteriously vanish and that the player is unable to switch to that character until the Egg Magician is destroyed. If a Tornado Jump or a level 3 Homing Attack is used against the Egg Magician, it will flip over and become an Egg Bishop.

Trivia[]

• In the source code for the PC version of Sonic Heroes, there are rendering codes for an ability that were planned to render the Egg Magician transparent if the opacity is lower than normal.
