'''Grounder'''{{fileref|Sonic2 MD US SonicJam manual.pdf|page=8}}, called '''Handrill''' (ハンドリル) in the Japanese manual{{fileref|Sonic2 MD US SonicJam manual.pdf|page=25}}, is a mole-like [[Badnik]] from the 16-bit version of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' found in [[Aquatic Ruin Zone]]. Its colour is red and blue or red and gold. They mainly attack by breaking through walls in a surprise attack, much like the similar [[Burrobot]] enemy from ''[[Sonic 1]]'s'' [[Labyrinth Zone]].
  
'''Grounder''' is a fictional robot in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] universe. He is a loyal, yet dim-witted robot who serves [[Dr. Robotnik]] throughout the cartoon ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', along with the chicken-like [[Scratch]]. He is a short, green machine with tracks. He has a drill for a nose as well as for hands, but these hands can often be changed into things such as grappling claws or helicopter blades.

The enemy reappeared in ''[[Sonic Pocket Adventure]]'''s [[Aquatic Relix Zone]].
  
Despite his best effort's to keep up with Robotnik's demands of capturing [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Tails]] along with his companions Scratch and [[Coconuts]], most of them end in complete failure. His constant failure makes Robotnik shout abuse and threaten him for most of the time. Grounder is also easily tricked, as is Scratch. Sonic would usually appear in disguise, using his speed to appear as anyone from an old lady to a pizza delivery guy. Fooled time and time again by the hedgehog, Scratch and Grounder never really stand a chance.
