Tikal the Echidna

Tikal (ティカル Tikaru) is a fictional character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is an anthropomorphic echidna spirit, and a former member of the Knuckles Clan who resided in the Mystic Ruins 3,000 years ago. She is also the daughter of Chief Pachacamac.

In her youth, Tikal lived in a period of war where she opposed her father's warmongering ways. During this time, she befriended the local Chao and their guardian Chaos. When Chaos went on a destructive rampage after her father attempted to steal the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald, Tikal stopped Chaos by sealing it inside the Master Emerald with her own spirit. In the present era, Tikal was released when Dr. Eggman planned to use Chaos to take over the world, where she aided Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies. After Chaos was calmed, Tikal left with it to live in peace.

 * Tikal appears as a supporting character in Sally and the Freedom Fighters, voiced and motion-captured by Auli'i Cravalho.
 * Tikal appears in Netflix's Sonic and the Tomb Raider, voiced by Laura Bailey. While most of her origins remain the same as in Sonic Adventure, Tikal and her tribe have history with the rulers of Atlantis, as she witnessed in horror as Natla unleashed Chaos to wipe out the Echidna Tribe and usurp Tihocan and Qualopec, who then sealed Chaos away and banished Natla from Atlantis. As a means of condolence over the issuing chaos, Tihocan and Qualopec offered Tikal a place in Natla's throne as Queen of Atlantis, with Tikal soon declaring peace between Atlantis and the Echidna Tribe. In Present day, Tikal reappears as a spirit, occasionally mentoring Sonic the Hedgehog and Lara Croft in their adventures, and showing them visions of the past, including the ones about Natla's true nature and origins.
