Chip

Chip

Chip appears as a small red dog-like creature with wings like those of a fairy in Sonic Unleashed. He advises Sonic (and therefore the player) in a manner similar to Tikal in Sonic Adventure. In Sonic Unleashed he loses his memory after Sonic lands on him after getting ejected from Dr Eggman's spaceship. He then follows Sonic on his journey in the hopes of regaining his memory. Along the way, Chip develops a love for Chocolate Chip Sundaes and chocolate. Thus Sonic gives him the name "Chip".

After putting back the sixth continent, Chip remembers that his real name is Light Gaia. Every few million years, he and Dark Gaia awake. Dark Gaia destroys the planet and he has to put it back together. Chip states that when Dr. Eggman split the earth apart, he and Dark Gaia were awakened too early.

When Dark Gaia is revived, Chip calls upon the power of the seven Sacred Temples and creates the Gaia Colossus. He restrains Dark Gaia long enough for Sonic to attack him. After Dark Gaia is destroyed by Super Sonic, Chip sends Sonic back to the surface of the earth, and then goes back to sleep. All that gets left behind is his necklace which Sonic puts on his wrist.

Chip also appears in the Sonic Unleashed short called Night of the Werehog.

Chip is voiced by Anthony Salerno in English and Ryoko Shiraishi in Japanese.
