SonicTheHedgehog has all sorts of terrrifing FanWank concerning Angel Island and Knuckles.

First, several bios for Knuckles stat that he is the last echidna in the world. So that means Tikal, Sinbad, Sir Gawain, and the many Ecdinas from SonicChronicles '''ARE ALL DEAD'''.

This Troper had it set that the Echidnas from Sonic Chronicles are a different variety and that Knuckles is the last of his variety. Tikal, Sinbad and Sir Gawain are all spirts, the latter two being of past lives of Knuckles.

Perhaps they literally ceased to exist because of Silver's time thing.

I have also come to a conclusion that the guys who wrote the bios did not do the research.

Chronicles probably is non canon.

Second, Sandopolis and Red Mountain was probably built by Echidnas. The Hydruro must be echidna ghosts. knuckles is being chased by his own realtives, ''even the above mentioned''!

I'm not too sure about Red Mountain, but I do agree about Sandopolis

Third, Marble Garden has figural human heads. Human conquest, anyone?

Eggman conquest

This Troper did research into what the beasts are. According to the research, Raikou is based on a thunder spirit (the raiju (thunder animal or thunder beast)) which can take the form of several different animals, one of them notably being a tiger. Entei is based on the shishi, or stone lion. And Suicune is most likely based on the Kirin, or parts of it (the kirin being an amalgamation of animals, it only appears in areas ruled by a benevolent and wise leader, and can walk on water. Suicune constantly flees in the games, only facing you (in Crystal, Heart Gold, and Soul Silver) when you are either close to being or are a Pokemon Champion, and with how the games keep having your character praised as a friend to Pokemon, and the fact that one would have to be a good strategist (in the game universe) to be a Pokemon Master, well, that covers both portions required). The appearances are also uncanny
