The Biolizard (バイオリザード), code-named Project Shadow and also known as the Prototype of the Ultimate Life Form, was created by Professor Gerald Robotnik about fifty years before the Sonic Adventure 2 storyline. It appears as a giant red and black lizard with a contraption on its back and with tubes running down the neck to the sides of its mouth. It cannot move well, but is able to take damage, manipulate gravity and energy, use Chaos Control., regenerate any lost limbs and can reproduce asexually. However, to be able to sustain itself, it requires the Life Support System, fuelled by Chaos Drives.

History
It was designed to be the ultimate life form as part of the government research for immortality, which Gerald Robotnik was part of as well. The prototype of the ultimate life form was made after the image of a lizard and it was able to regenerate, restore lost limbs and reproduce asexually to sustain itself. However, it reacted violently when it had the power of the Chaos Emeralds, and it quickly became unruly and hard to control, causing many problems. Others questioned the project’s continuation and eventually, the higher ups sent GUN to dispatch everyone who knew about Project Shadow on board of the ARK.
Sonic Adventure 2
The Biolizard was encapsulated and it remained in suspended animation until Sonic the Hedgehog and his crew came to ARK. It was awakened as Sonic and Knuckles reach the Eclipse Cannon’s core. Shadow, previously convinced by Amy to help the Earth then appeared and fought it instead, allowing the pair to continue their way towards the artificial Master Emerald altar behind it. After being defeated the Biolizard used Chaos Control to warp away, and even though Knuckles had stopped the Chaos Emeralds, the Biolizard seized control of the Colony by becoming one with it and keeps it on its' crash course to Earth, becoming Finalhazard. Using the Chaos Emeralds Sonic and Shadow became Super Sonic and Super Shadow and fight the Finalhazard. It's not done in time however, so Shadow uses Chaos Control as a last effort to transport the whole thing back to a non-falling position and it is presumed that he lost his life in the process.
The Biolizard appears most significantly in this game but even so, most of the information and back story is given in supplementary material. The only clue he exists in Sonic Adventure 2 as nothing but a surprise boss are two instances in Dark Story, the first when Rouge searches for Project Shadow in the ARK's computer, where she finds something else but Shadow on the classified info, and again when she confronts Shadow about this same information later on the story.
Shadow the Hedgehog
The Biolizard is seen in Shadow the Hedgehog, where Shadow reminisces its defeat and death at the end of Sonic Adventure 2. It’s unknown whether it has Black Doom’s DNA or not, but it’s significant to notice that the black and red colour scheme and battle cry of the Black Arms and Devil Doom is similar, albeit the latter is quite similar (if not the same) to Perfect Chaos.

Sonic X
The Biolizard appears in episode 38, Maria's Request, Everyone's Request (EN: Showdown in Space). He also appears as part of the Japanese DVD sleeve for volume 10. He serves the exact same purpose as in Sonic Adventure 2. It’s worth noting that even the attacks and way to defeat is the same, as the Biolizard uses the same pink egg attack and Shadow uses the homing attack to defeat it.
