Character conception
Tangle was created by Ian Flynn, while Tyson Hesse drew the character design.[3] She was created for the comic series so the main Sonic cast could have more female characters.[4] Tangle was originally going to be a Hare based on Sonic's early design, but was changed to a Lemur to separate her from Cream the Rabbit.[5] Yuji Uekawa did the final design for Tangle's shoes.[6] Ian Flynn has also stated that her tail was inspired by the grappling hook mechanic of the Avatar in Sonic Forces.[7] David Mariotte said “Before she even had a name, we knew we wanted her to be like a lot of other great Sonic characters and have a special ability tied to one of her features. Think Tails or Knuckles.”[2]
Personality and traits
Tangle is an excitable ring-tailed lemur with a thirst for adventure. She first met Sonic while defending her hometown, Spiral Hill Village, from Dr. Eggman's robots. Her best friend is a beetle named Jewel, who she grew up with. Aleah Baker confirmed that she also likes Raspberries.[8]
Tangle's most distinguishing feature is her stretchy prehensile tail, which she puts to a multitude of uses.
