	Games - Chaos

Chaos is the main enemy in the video game Sonic Adventure for the Sega Dreamcast. It is neither male or female, but is usually assumed to be male, since Tikal refers to him as one. Chaos is an immortal, ageless god-like creature that seems to be composed entirely of water, but is also said to be concentrated chaos energy, and a mutated Chao. He was trapped inside the Master Emerald for 10,000 years before being released by Dr. Eggman in a bid to conquer the world. He was the original guardian of the Chaos Emeralds, Chao, and the Master Emerald.

Chaos' History

Chaos was once good. He protected the Chao and guarded the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald. However the leader of the echidna tribe, Pachacamac, tried to steal the Emeralds so he could use them against his enemies. They stormed the shrine where the Emeralds were, harming many Chao in the process. Chaos, in a fit of rage, vanquished them by absorbing the power of the Chaos Emeralds. Pachacamac's daughter, Tikal, not wanting to see the world destroyed, sealed herself and Chaos within the Master Emerald.

Present day

Chaos lay in wait for many centuries until Dr. Eggman, having read ancient tablets describing the fall of the echidnas and Chaos, released him by shattering the Master Emerald. Chaos swears to follow Eggman as he knows that the Eggman can get the Chaos Emeralds back for him.

Eventually, Eggman's plans, as always, fall through at the hands of Sonic and his friends. So Chaos abandons him and collects the Emeralds himself. Once they are in his possession he absorbs the negative powers of the Emeralds and discards them. This proves to be the means to his downfall as Sonic absorbs the positive energies of the Emeralds and transforms into Super Sonic and eventually defeats him, in the process ridding Chaos of his evil mindset and turning him back to Chaos Zero. He is known to appear during upcoming disasters as shown in Sonic Battle. (Sonic Battle also stated that Chaos's power comes from "water spirits".)

Although an ancient god of tremendous power Chaos still has several noticeable weaknesses. For example, he is always very slow, but he has extremely powerful attacks.

Chaos' Forms

Chaos' form and skills change and increase with every Chaos Emerald that he absorbs. Over time he develops from a humanoid water creature to a horrible, world-destroying monster.

Chaos 0

This is the base form of Chaos before he has absorbed any Chaos Emeralds. He is humanoid, about five feet tall with bright green eyes. His brain is visible in this form through his watery exterior. He can extend his arms as an attack. Sonic fights Chaos 0 outside the City Hall in Station Square.

Chaos 1

After Chaos absorbs one Chaos Emerald, he is virtually unchanged except for a line of bones that travel down his right arm into his hand along with the arm becoming bulkier. He only appears briefly and the player never gets to fight him.

Chaos 2

Chaos is now much stronger after absorbing two Emeralds. He is taller and more muscular. The bones that were in Chaos 1's right arm now run along both of Chaos 2's arms. His head has moved forward and gives him a meaner look, the horns on his head have also changed position to give him a hammerhead style look. He has also developed new powers like a shield to prevent frontal attacks and the ability to transform into a huge ball of water. Knuckles the Echidna fights him in the Hotel Restaurant in Station Square.

Chaos 3

Chaos 3 never makes an appearance in Sonic Adventure because Chaos absorbs two Emeralds at once.

Chaos 4

Chaos changes completely after absorbing four Chaos Emeralds. He is now a huge shark like creature with razor like fins. He fights Sonic, Tails and Knuckles in a small pond in the Mystic Ruins but is defeated. His new powers include being able to shoot energy waves, swimming and turning into four balls that bounce toward the player. If Chaos 4 is out of water he simply floats in the air.

Chaos 5

Chaos 5, like Chaos 3, was never shown in Sonic Adventure due to the same circumstances of absorbing two Emeralds at once.

Chaos 6

After absorbing six emeralds, Chaos has changed dramatically once again. It is no longer at all humanoid, but a twenty-five foot tall scorpion-like creature. It also has eight or more eyes, a bulldog-like head and a mouth filled with razor sharp teeth. Its tail is tipped with a pendulum type blade. Both Sonic and Knuckles fight Chaos 6 one after another on the Egg Carrier and Big the Cat fishes Froggy out from inside Chaos. Chaos' new powers include creating powerful shockwaves and trying to suck enemies up to eat them.
