The '''Biolizard''' is a [[fictional]] creature, who appeared in the [[videogame]] ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' as the final [[boss (video game)|boss]]. It appears as a giant [[lizard]] with a [[life support]] system on its back. According to ''[[Sonic X]]'', the Biolizard is 85 meters long, 30 meters wide, 19.5 meters tall, and weighs 87.5 tons<ref>[http://www.teamartail.com/sonicx/viewimage.php/38/images/073biolizard.jpg Biolizard size information from ''Sonic X'']</ref>. |

==History== |
|||
{{spoiler}} |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
The ''Biolizard'' was an early version of "Project Shadow", a government project run by Professor [[Gerald Robotnik]] that was intended to create an "Ultimate Lifeform" as a first step towards humanity discovering the secret of immortality. Due to the experiments, it later needed a life support system. While the Biolizard was successful in the way that it was could regenerate and restore itself, and could self-reproduce, it was also unruly and dangerous<ref>[http://sonichq.mobiusforum.net/newsite/news/index.php/id.54 Rouge's report on the Ultimate Lifeform, translated from Japanese]</ref>. It was closed down when Gerald, with the aid of the alien [[Black Doom]], produced a more advanced being: [[Shadow the Hedgehog]]. |
|||
When [[Guardian Unit of Nations|GUN]] came to [[Space Colony ARK]] in order to put a stop to Gerald Robotniks plans, they found the Biolizard and shut it down. It didn't go without a fight, however, and it destroyed almost the entire group of GUN soldiers. |
|||
The Biolizard remained in suspended animation aboard the ARK until [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] and his friends came there. After [[Doctor Eggman]] successfully achieved the seventh [[Chaos Emerald]] and put it into the [[Eclipse Cannon]], a video of Gerald Robotnik was shown on all televisions and an audio version on the radio warning people of the Biolizard and how when the seven Chaos Emeralds came to the ARK, the ARK would plunge into the Earth's atmosphere. As the seven Chaos Emeralds were in place the ARK began to fall. Sonic and Eggman joined forces and tried to pull the ARK into orbit again by using [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]]' [[Master Emerald]] to deactivate the Chaos Emeralds. |
|||
However, when Sonic and Knuckles entered the cannon's core, the Biolizard was awoken, determined to keep the ARK on its path to Earth. Later, [[Amy Rose]] convinced Shadow to help save the Earth, (Shadow had a flashback about his best friend, [[Maria Robotnik]]) and Shadow fought and won against the giant reptile. The Biolizard then used [[Chaos Control]] to teleport outside and fuse with the [[space station]] itself, becoming the '''Finalhazard''', the final boss of the game. It was destroyed by the combined power of Sonic and Shadow in [[Super Transformation|super form]], who then used Chaos Control to place the ARK back into orbit. |
|||
The Biolizard fights by spitting dark energy balls, biting, or tailwhipping Shadow. After chasing the hedgehog for some time, the lizard stops and seems to [[hyperventilation|hyperventilate]], which is Shadow's chance to grind up a green tube that connects the Biolizard's head to its life support system and attack it. After damaging the system a few times, the Biolizard creates dozens of pink egg-like orbs in the air, and fires them at Shadow. Shadow must then use homing attack on the orbs in order to get into the air and attack the life support system again. Finally, the Biolizard will somehow lift Shadow himself up into the air along with the orbs, and as such he must float towards the life support system while avoiding the orbs in order to defeat the Biolizard. |
|||
After transforming into Finalhazard, the Biolizard gains the ability to fire large pink energy beams from its broken life support system, and create similar orbs to the one before, except the new ones are red and the Finalhazard creates hundreds of them to cover himself as a shield. He also fires them at Super Sonic and Super Shadow one at a time. As his life support system has been demolished, the Finalhazard has grown large pink [[boil]]s all over its body, and Super Sonic and Super Shadow must charge into these boils in order to harm it. |
|||
===''Shadow the Hedgehog''=== |
|||
The Biolizard was not mentioned in ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (video game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]'', except in one of Shadow's flashbacks, when he remembers his apparent death after defeating it. The Biolizard was likely just an example of Gerald's work before Black Doom assisted him, and thus is of little interest to the [[Black Arms]] and wasn't stable because he didn't have Black Doom's DNA. However, it is noted that after Black Doom transforms into Devil Doom, he has an identical cry to that of Biolizard, although there is no other relation. |
|||
===Sonic X=== |
|||
The Biolizard's role in the anime ''[[Sonic X]]'' parallels the one it plays in ''Sonic Adventure 2''. The difference is that the creature is not specifically named as a prototype of Project Shadow. In the original Japanese version, Knuckles identified the Biolizard, but in the English dub, it was unnamed, and Knuckles instead simply stated that he wouldn't let the monster get the Master Emerald. When Professor Gerald's diary reveals what really happened on the ARK 50 years ago, a small green [[lizard]] was shown that could have been what the Biolizard looked like before its current state. |

==Trivia== |
|||
* During ''Sonic Adventure 2'''s development, originally Knuckles was to fight the Biolizard.{{fact}} |
|||
*According to [[Rouge the Bat]]'s report in the official strategy guide from Sega, there is a section that deals with the Biolizard. An interesting note is that the pink-orb objects the Biolizard produces is produced through [[asexual reproduction]], which means that the there could have been more than one Biolizard, however this is unlikely. It is often assumed that the Biolizard, is in fact, female (due to the eggs), which would make "her" almost like Shadow's sister. The likelyhood of this is disputed. |
