**********

Playing with both characters as **********.

********** (informally known as Wechnia) is a blank character in Knuckles' Chaotix. He appears to be a palette-glitched version of Knuckles with Mighty's movelist (i.e. wall kicking).

The character is referenced on the level select screen as "**********". PACHUKA coined the term "Wechnia" by combining the words "white" and "echidna". It was hypothesized that Wechnia was originally Tails at one point, since he is listed second on the level select after Mighty. This was later confirmed with the release of the Knuckles' Chaotix 1207 Prototype, which contains the life icon for Tails present in the ROM. In addition, the character also has the ability to fly exactly like Tails, and contains a similar palette.

Later prototypes have this ability removed, replacing it with Mighty's wall climbing ability.
