'''Grounder''' is a fictional robot in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] universe. He is a loyal, yet dim-witted robot who serves [[Dr. Robotnik]] throughout the cartoon ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' (which is where he is mostly recognised from), along with the chicken-like [[Scratch]]. He is a short, green machine with tanklike treads instead of feet.  He has a drill for a nose as well as for hands. Grounder specializes mainly in gadgetry; he can turn his drill "hands" into any number of weapons or tools, stores assorted equipment (commonly, a telephone) in his torso, and (according to [[The Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad!|the episode showing his creation]]) even has the components of a Swiss Army knife installed in his tongue. Grounder also seems to be the most fragile of Robotnik's robots (himself, Scratch, and [[Coconuts]]), getting blown to bits slightly more often than the others.

Despite his best efforts, most of Grounder's attempts to capture [[Sonic]] and [[Tails]] end in complete failure.  His constant failure makes Robotnik shout abuse and threaten him most of the time. Grounder is also easily tricked, as is Scratch; Sonic would often appear in disguise, as anyone from an old lady to a pizza delivery guy. Fooled time and time again by the hedgehog, Scratch and Grounder never really stand a chance, and are mainly used for comic effect.

Grounder (called Handrill in the Japanese Manual) is also a Badnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 games in Aquatic Ruin Zone. Its colour is red and blue or red and gold, rather than green, but beyond that it is almost a perfect match for the cartoon character. They mainly attack by breaking through walls in a surprise attack, much like the similar Burrobot enemy from the Labyrinth Zone.

Grounder is also a character in Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, a game which used many characters from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog as opponents.

The enemy reappeared in Sonic Pocket Adventure's Aquatic Relix Zone.
