Their main torsos are blue-gray with white and round shoulder joints and an orange stripe around their torsos' lower half. Also, on the front of their torsos they have a gray vertical row with a red light on top of it. Instead of legs, they have a gray hover engine with yellow and black hazard stripes on the bottom of their torsos.

Games[]

Sonic Adventure[]

In Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, Egg Keepers appear in the following Action Stages for each character:

Character	Action Stage
Sonic	Final Egg
Amy	Hot Shelter, Final Egg
Gamma	Final Egg, Hot Shelter

In gameplay, Egg Keepers appear either alone or in groups. They normally remain still until the player gets nearby, upon where they fling their craniums off them like saucers. These saucers will hover around overhead, sweeping the ground with a tractor beam-like field. Get caught in this field and the playable characters will get paralyzed for a few seconds, allowing the Egg Keeper to rush in and attack them with their body. Egg Keepers can only be destroyed with the Spin Jump, Homing Attack, Hammer Attack or gun fire when their heads are detached: get too close when they are whole and they will simply knock the player's attack away with their arms.

In Sonic Rivals 2, the Egg Keeper appears on a collectible card:

In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing, the Egg Keepers are Badniks created by Dr. Eggman. In an abandoned Eggman base outside Windmill Village that Sonic and Tails had entered, a local Egg Keeper tried to immobilize Tails. However, Belle took the attack for herself by pushing Tails out of the way. Before anything bad could happen to Belle though, Tails destroyed the Egg Keeper.^[4] More Egg Keepers soon after showed up to take its place though. As the heroes tried to escape the base, an Egg Keeper succeeded in capturing Tails, but Belle managed to save him.^[5]
