Zavok is a merciless, serious, ferocious and cruel being. He often deploys graphical threats of death and destruction and has little tolerance for failure. Power-hungry and ever focused on his goals, Zavok does not let anything stand in his way. Despite his brutish intensiveness, Zavok keeps a very calm demeanor even if his temper is flared up, and has a penchant for quick-thinking, which is what you would expect from a leader. He's quite cunning and intelligent, which is shown by him studying his opponents in advance and knowing how to use a situation to his advantage. He knew he would learn more about [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] by letting [[Zazz]] fight him, regardless of the outcome, and quickly formulated a plan to use [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] to his advantage when his team accidentally caught him instead of Sonic. He is also manipulative, using praise and compliments to motivate [[Zeena]] into attacking Sonic, and sending Sonic into disarray with psychological taunts.

As the leader of the Zeti race, Zavok is regarded as their strongest warrior thanks to all the teaching he has received from [[Master Zik]], making him a certified force to be reckoned with. He boasts superhuman strength and all manner of close-combat techniques and pyrokinetic abilities. As a last resort, he is able to unleash his full strength and become super-sized. Like all Zeti, Zavok has the ability to manipulate magnetic fields, allowing him to control electronics, which he does to Eggman's [[Badnik]]s.

As the leader of the Deadly Six, Zavok's presence is already made aware to the player as soon as the first cutscene to feature the Zeti, in which Eggman teaches them how to make Badniks, and Zavok orders [[Zazz]] to go after Sonic as a means of learning more about his enemy. In a later cutscene, he speaks up against Eggman after the genius berates him and his kind for bringing in defective [[animals]]. After Eggman loses the [[Cacophonic Conch]] thanks to Sonic's impulsiveness, Zavok orders his kind to take control of all of the Badniks and get revenge on the doctor. After taking over his fortress at [[Lava Mountain]], he and Master Zik devise a plan to suck Sonic's world dry completely with the [[Extractor]], and use all the stolen life energy to make themselves stronger.

Though Zavok frequently makes appearances in cutscenes throughout the game, he and Sonic do not meet until [[Sky Road (Sonic Lost World)|Sky Road]], where he appears at the end of Zone 2. This battle is set on a single planetoid in a 3D perspective, with Zavok riding one of the mechanical dragons featured throughout the Zone. The dragon will electrify its body and snake its way around the planetoid in an attempt to run over Sonic, periodically stopping to shoot a spread-shot of fireballs from its mouth. Zavok cannot be hit directly, as he is perched on the dragon's head out of range from Sonic's attacks.
 
−
 
 
−
When the dragon stops, the player must attack its tail several times until the dragon is stunned, making a ramp fold out to allow the player to climb onto the dragon's body. From there, the player has to [[Homing Attack]] across the dragon's segments while avoiding fire from lasers, eventually reaching Zavok at the head. Upon reaching Zavok, the player simply has to hit him with a Homing Attack to damage him. The whole process repeats a second time, albeit with slightly faster attack patterns than before. After the second hit, the Zeti retreats, thus the Zone is cleared.
 
  
−
This battle is repeated in [[Nightmare Zone]], with the dragon mech being replaced by the second-level Nightmaren Gillwing. The player has to keep hitting Gillwing's tail with Homing Attacks until the Nightmaren is knocked out.

Later, after his and Master Zik's plan to capture Sonic and [[Roboticization|turn him into a robot]] results in Tails being captured instead, Zavok chides the other Zeti for the mistake, but then thinks of turning Tails into a robot instead to psychologically break Sonic. He eventually interacts with Sonic after the hedgehog has already taken care of all the other Zeti in their respective Zones to fight him personally and to taunt him about the impending doom of Tails and the world beneath the [[Lost Hex]]. After Sonic humiliates him in battle, he goes ahead with roboticizing Tails, only to leave him unsupervised and allowing the fox to keep his free will.

With Sonic's world being drained of its life energy and Sonic losing contact with [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]] and [[Amy Rose|Amy]], Zavok taunts the hedgehog with his impending loneliness, leading to the second battle in Zone 4, taking place in a 2.5D perspective atop the back of a mechanical dragon in the stormy skies. Zavok opens the fight with a dash attack that the player can jump over, then he will follow that attack by stomping the ground hard, sending out a short shockwave that can be avoided by staying away when he lands. As a third move, Zavok commands the dragon to fire lasers from its body one after the outward from where he is standing, which the player can avoid by standing between the lasers.
+
In [[Lava Mountain]], Zavok makes another demand to Sonic to give up and join his friend as a robot slave, then sends Tails after him when he refuses; but is then forced to retreat when Tails turns against him. After Sonic defeats the other Zeti again, Zavok becomes fed up with the hedgehog and attempts to destroy him once and for all, becoming giant-sized in his final battle. Despite poweing himself up, he is ultimately defeated and is seen falling into the pool of lava beneath him.
  
−
The player should not out-right use the Homing Attack, as Zavok will block the attack and hurt the player. The player must first use the [[Flying Kick]] on him when given the opportunity to knock him off balance, then they can target him and hit him with a Homing Attack, but they must be quick as Zavok will quickly get back on his feet. Once hit, Zavok will be knocked some distance away based on how much the player charges the Homing Attack, though at least three single locks are enough to force him to retreat. It is possible to knock Zavok into the dragon's lasers, electrocuting him and stunning him for much longer than normal, allowing the player to easily charge the Homing Attack and send him flying.

 +
Zavok appeared during the storyline of the "Zazz Raid" event in ''Sonic Runners'', where [[Zazz]] asked him for help on defeating Sonic, to which Zavok tells him to simply keep on fighting. After Zazz leaves, Master Zik points out that Zazz will never be able to beat Sonic no matter how hard he tries. Zavok is fully aware of this, and is simply using Zazz to collect more intel on Sonic so that one day, the Deadly Six will be able to destroy him once and for all.
  
−
As the battle goes on, Zavok will punch away segments of the dragon to make the arena smaller, then he will repeat the same attack process. In the third phase, he will move slightly faster and do a two-punch combo before the dash attack, and the player will now have to defeat him in a different way. Instead of hitting Zavok with a set number of Homing Attacks, the player has to knock him over the edge of the dragon by either luring him to jump to either side of the dragon, or by stunning him with the laser trick mentioned earlier. Once Zavok is stumbling on the edge of the dragon, the player has to lock on to Zavok as maximally as possible (otherwise he will block the attack) and then strike him with a Homing Attack to knock him off the edge before he regains his balance to win.

After Sonic's defeat, Zavok served as Sonic's guard during his tenure aboard the [[Death Egg]] as a prisoner, eventually coming to his cell to execute him by jettisoning him into outer space.

With all the other Zeti defeated, Sonic engages Zavok one last time at the end of [[Lava Mountain]] Zone 3 in a multi-phase battle. Zavok opens by jumping down and shooting three large fireballs from the palm of his hand, followed by a dash attack to the other side. He will then follow that attack by jumping to the blocks above and doing a stomp attack to make a red block fall on Sonic. After that, he will jump back down and repeat his attack pattern. A few Homing Attack strikes will be enough to beat him, but a fully-charged Homing Attack will defeat him in one hit.

In the second phase, Zavok pulls a [[mariowiki:Bowser|Bowser]] by jumping off the platform, becoming a colossus in the process. Now giant-sized, Zavok will steadily climb up the tower and chase Sonic, attacking by breathing giant fireballs that will destroy a large number of platforms upon making contact, and a laser attack that Sonic must avoid by standing on a block or platform for cover. Sonic cannot run from Zavok forever, as he will eventually reach the ceiling at the top of the tower, leaving little room to survive. To attack Zavok, Sonic must use one of Zavok's earlier attack strategies against him by using a [[Bounce Attack]] to stomp a red block and inflict damage on the mighty Zeti. A total of 10 hits will defeat Zavok for good, causing him to plummet to his molten doom.

In the 3DS version, Zavok is encountered at the end of [[Sky Road (Sonic Lost World)|Sky Road]] like the Wii U/PC version, only his battle is a skydiving battle, as Sonic falls in the sky to defeat him. Unlike other bosses, regular [[Homing Attack|Homing Attacks]] are ineffective, so the Homing Attack must be fully charged to do any damage to him. After the attack hits, Zavok will be stunned, giving the player enough time to charge up another Homing Attack to the max to deal more damage. Alternatively, Cyan [[Wisps]] appear, allowing the player to use Cyan Laser against Zavok to deal more damage than normal.

Like his Wii U/PC battles, Zavok rides a mechanical dragon, only here he will try to ram the dragon into Sonic to hurt him. After enough damage is dealt to Zavok, the dragon will start shooting fireballs and lasers to attack Sonic, even encircling Zavok to fire four lasers which Sonic must avoid. By holding down the {{r}} button and using the Circle Pad to move Sonic, this attack becomes easier to avoid. After the attack, Zavok will be stunned, making him vulnerable to attack. The battle ends once Zavok's health bar is fully depleted.

Zavok was sent to [[Everhold Prison]] but was soon freed by the returning Dr. Starline. Zavok teamed up with him while the other members of the Deadly Six were missing.

At one point Zavok surprisingly complemented his new allies, saying while they are no Deadly Six, they're adept. Zavok then confronts Starline about his and Eggman's reliance on machines. Zavok views strong warriors over machines, as they have flexibility, passion and ingenuity. While robots in his eyes are only fine tools. Zavok also admitted Starline's original plan for him and the Metal Virus was solid. He only made one mistake while trying to right Eggman's wrongs.

Zavok (ザボック Zabokku) is one of the primary antagonists of Sonic Lost World and the leader of the Deadly Six. He is a red Zeti with a very stocky build, cyan eyebrows and large fangs and horns.

Character conception

Sonicretro-round.svg This short section needs expansion. You can help Sonic Retro by adding to it.

Personality and traits

Zavok is a merciless, serious, ferocious and cruel being. He often deploys graphical threats of death and destruction and has little tolerance for failure. Power-hungry and ever focused on his goals, Zavok does not let anything stand in his way. Despite his brutish intensiveness, Zavok keeps a very calm demeanor even if his temper is flared up, and has a penchant for quick-thinking, which is what you would expect from a leader. He's quite cunning and intelligent, which is shown by him studying his opponents in advance and knowing how to use a situation to his advantage. He knew he would learn more about Sonic by letting Zazz fight him, regardless of the outcome, and quickly formulated a plan to use Tails to his advantage when his team accidentally caught him instead of Sonic. He is also manipulative, using praise and compliments to motivate Zeena into attacking Sonic, and sending Sonic into disarray with psychological taunts.

Zavok is a true monster at heart, as he relishes in inflicting physical and psychological pain and killing others, even having no qualms about causing global genocide for his own gain or personal reasons. He is also very vengeful and will seize any opportunity for retribution, such as using Dr. Eggman's Extractor to destroy Sonic's world to make him pay for his abuse, and plotting to turn Tails against Sonic to spite him for humiliating him.

As the leader of the Zeti race, Zavok is regarded as their strongest warrior thanks to all the teaching he has received from Master Zik, making him a certified force to be reckoned with. He boasts superhuman strength and all manner of close-combat techniques and pyrokinetic abilities. As a last resort, he is able to unleash his full strength and become super-sized. Like all Zeti, Zavok has the ability to manipulate magnetic fields, allowing him to control electronics, which he does to Eggman's Badniks.

Game appearances

Sonic Lost World

As the leader of the Deadly Six, Zavok's presence is already made aware to the player as soon as the first cutscene to feature the Zeti, in which Eggman teaches them how to make Badniks, and Zavok orders Zazz to go after Sonic as a means of learning more about his enemy. In a later cutscene, he speaks up against Eggman after the genius berates him and his kind for bringing in defective animals. After Eggman loses the Cacophonic Conch thanks to Sonic's impulsiveness, Zavok orders his kind to take control of all of the Badniks and get revenge on the doctor. After taking over his fortress at Lava Mountain, he and Master Zik devise a plan to suck Sonic's world dry completely with the Extractor, and use all the stolen life energy to make themselves stronger.

Later, after his and Master Zik's plan to capture Sonic and turn him into a robot results in Tails being captured instead, Zavok chides the other Zeti for the mistake, but then thinks of turning Tails into a robot instead to psychologically break Sonic. He eventually interacts with Sonic after the hedgehog has already taken care of all the other Zeti in their respective Zones to fight him personally and to taunt him about the impending doom of Tails and the world beneath the Lost Hex. After Sonic humiliates him in battle, he goes ahead with roboticizing Tails, only to leave him unsupervised and allowing the fox to keep his free will.

In Lava Mountain, Zavok makes another demand to Sonic to give up and join his friend as a robot slave, then sends Tails after him when he refuses; but is then forced to retreat when Tails turns against him. After Sonic defeats the other Zeti again, Zavok becomes fed up with the hedgehog and attempts to destroy him once and for all, becoming giant-sized in his final battle. Despite poweing himself up, he is ultimately defeated and is seen falling into the pool of lava beneath him.

Sonic Runners

Zavok appeared during the storyline of the "Zazz Raid" event in Sonic Runners, where Zazz asked him for help on defeating Sonic, to which Zavok tells him to simply keep on fighting. After Zazz leaves, Master Zik points out that Zazz will never be able to beat Sonic no matter how hard he tries. Zavok is fully aware of this, and is simply using Zazz to collect more intel on Sonic so that one day, the Deadly Six will be able to destroy him once and for all.

After his defeat, Zavok disappears. Hordes of Zavok illusions are also fought by the Resistance during the climax at the Eggman Empire Fortress.

Sonic Forces: Speed Battle

Zavok is featured as a playable character in the smartphone tie-in game Sonic Forces: Speed Battle as of the 1.0.1 update released on November 1st, 2017.

Dr. Eggman and Sonic were forced to make an alliance once again to take back the Chaos Emeralds from Zavok and the Deadly Six.[3] In the end, Sonic and Silver managed to both go super and stop Zavok, but the Deadly Six leader was left on the planet.[4]

Zavok was sent to Everhold Prison but was soon freed by the returning Dr. Starline. Zavok teamed up with him while the other members of the Deadly Six were missing. This alliance also included Rough the Skunk, Tumble the Skunk and Mimic. They worked together to take over one of Eggman's bases. At one point Zavok surprisingly complemented his new allies, saying while they are no Deadly Six, they're adept. Zavok then confronts Starline about his and Eggman's reliance on machines. Zavok views strong warriors over machines, as they have flexibility, passion and ingenuity. While robots in his eyes are only fine tools. Zavok also admitted Starline's original plan for him and the Metal Virus was solid. He only made one mistake while trying to right Eggman's wrongs. He warns Starline that while he has great potential, he should not limit himself by trying to become Dr. Eggman.[5][6]

Zavok and Mimic later saw video of Starline planning to take out all of them later. Zavok then formulates his own plan to double-cross Starline. The next day, while Starline was hacking Eggman's systems, Zavok and Mimic begin their double-cross. Zavok wanted to use this as an opportunity to carve out his own territory in this world, but Starline slipped away and the whole building they were in came crashing down once Eggman arrived. Zavok escaped the flames to search for the other Zeti and get revenge.[7][8] Once Zavok had found them he discussed the next course of action with Master Zik. They decide to form an assault on the Restoration. This plan didn't work out too well for them. Sonic and his friends managed to defeat the Zeti once more and send them on a rocket back to Lost Hex.[9][10]
