Fang the Sniper, also known as Nack the Weasel, is a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. He is a purple treasure hunter (or bounty hunter in the Archie Sonic comics) In the Sega games Fang/Nack is half-weasel half-wolf, not just a Weasel. He seemes to be obsessed with valuables and money. He wears a big brown hat, brown and white boots, and brown gloves with metal plates on them. The reason that he is known as "Fang" is because one of his canines is much larger than the other, another trademark of his. He has a long, thick, purple tail that he uses for bouncing on and attacking his foes. His signature weapon was going to be a black handgun, but Sega nixed the idea due to maturity isues. He even has his own airbike (called the Marvelous Queen) he uses to fly around in. He is one of the lesser known Sonic characters, but he does have many fans. He was also the first Sonic character to have a real gun, which may have been the reason of his disappearance from the games. Due to the new game Shadwo the Hedgehog, in which Shadow gets a gun, many fans believe Fang may return in future games. In the Archie Sonic comics he has a sister named Nic. In the Fleetway comics, Nack used to be a member of the Chaotix, but betrayed them for profit. He later got the ability to grow and shrink things.
