Template:CharacterSheet Fang the Sniper, also known as Nack the Weasel, is a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. He is a treasure hunter (or bounty hunter in the Archie Sonic comics.) In the Sega games Fang/Nack is half-weasel half-wolf, not just a Weasel. He seems to be obsessed with valuables and money. He wears a big brown hat, brown and white boots, and brown gloves with metal plates on them. The reason that he is known as "Fang" is because one of his canines is much larger than the other. His fur is purple and white and he has a long, thick, tail that he uses for bouncing on and attacking his foes. His signature weapon was going to be a black handgun, but Sega nixed the idea and unused sprites of him holding it have been seen in a gaming magazine. He also has an airbike (called the Marvelous Queen) he uses to fly around in. He is one of the lesser known Sonic characters, but does have many fans. He was also the first Sonic character to have a real gun.
Contents
Sonic Triple Trouble
Fang makes his debute as a thief/bounty hunter in Sonic Triple trouble (Sonic and Tails 2). In the game, Fang rivals Sonic and Tails in their quest to claim the Chaos emeralds that fell from the Dr. Eggman's ship, the Atomic Destroyer. He is found at the end of every special stage as a boss, with the first stage being an exception. Driving the Marvelous Queen, Fang/Nak attempts to stop Sonic/Tails so that he can obtain the chaos emeralds for himself, apparently so that he can sell them for money. Fang is characterized as a somewhat sloppy character, even catching himself in his own trap humorously. It is possible that Fang is working for Dr. Robotnik, as Fang is seen near the end of Atomic Destroyer Zone, although the game never states that the purple weasel cut a deal with the Egg shaped scientist.
It was in this game's beta that Fang was seen holding a gun up to Sonic in a classic "stick um up!" situation.
Sonic the Fighters (Sonic Championships)
In Sonic the Fighters, Fang is a playable character who holds one of the eight chaos emeralds. Although Fang's alignment is generally evil, he is very much willing to destroy the newly designed Death Egg II, and thus save the world from Eggman's potential grip. Although he may very well intend on keeping and selling the emeralds afterward! For moves, Fang mostly uses a popgun, which shoots corks. Fang also makes use of his tail and feet in a few fancy moves such as his tail whap. Fang can use his magenta emerald to go into [[hyper mode]] and perform the cannon barrage, a move which sends a barrage of corks toward Fang's opponent, potentially hitting them many times. Although in previous installments, it appears that Fang is unaware of the chaos emeralds true power, he makes use of the emeralds powerful energies through utilizing hyper mode, and as said earlier, by using the cannon barrage. Fang is the sixth character that must be defeated in arcade mode to reach Death Egg II. his home course is Casino Night, a course from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
