Dark Gaia

Dark Gaia is the final boss in Sonic Unleashed.

Dark Gaia was awakened, along with Light Gaia (a.k.a. Chip), when Doctor Eggman split the world apart with the help of the Chaos Emeralds. Because he was awakened too early, Dark Gaia broke apart creating many monsters. A part of him also went inside Sonic's body which turned him into a Werehog.

By night fall, the people of Earth engage in different behaviors compared to their behaviors during the day as a result of Dark Gaia being released. Some either become depressed or angry. Sonic believes Chip was the reason to why he didn't act any differently during the night, when in reality it was because of his strong will.

Every few million years, Dark Gaia awakens with Light Gaia. Dark Gaia breaks apart the earth and it's Light Gaia's job to put it all back together again.

Dr. Eggman wanted to use Dark Gaia to help build his Eggman Empire. But, as usual, his plan backfired and Dark Gaia attacked him.

Defeating Dark Gaia takes place in three parts. The first is fighting him as Gaia Colossus (created by Chip) by throwing punches and avoiding Dark Gaia attacks. The second part is playing as Sonic by racing a long the body of the Gaia Colossus before jumping off a ramp and following a series of botton comands. This must be done three times, each time for one of Dark Gaia's three eyes. The third part is fighting him as Super Sonic after he transforms into Perfect Dark Gaia. The player must use a Super Sonic Boost and attack each of Perfect Dark Gaia's seven eyes while dodging meteors.

After Dark Gaia was defeated, he sunk into the center of the earth. Professor Pickle notes that Dark Gaia wasn't destroyed, but merely laid to rest.
