Fang the Sniper (ファング・ザ・スナイパー,
Fangu za Sunaipā?),
[42] also known as
Nack the Weasel,
[43] is a purple
wolf weasel[44] that first appeared in the
Game Gear video game
Sonic Triple Trouble. His character is a treasure hunter in search of the
Chaos Emeralds; however he doesn't know of their true power and merely wants to sell them for profit.
[43] He is a slick
[44], sneaky and mischievious
[42] character who will steal the Emeralds for an easier job.
[43] Fang tries hard to outwit others, but is held back by naivety and often fails.
[42] He is often seen with his air-bike, the Marvelous Queen.
The character was known as "Fang the Sniper" in the Japanese game, Sonic & Tails 2,
[42] but was named "Nack the Weasel" in the English version, Sonic Triple Trouble.
[43] "Nack" was used in the
comic books he also appears in. Games released after
Sonic Triple Trouble have called him "Fang", regardless of language.
Fang the Sniper has appeared in
Sonic Triple Trouble,
Sonic Drift 2,
Tails Adventures, and
Sonic the Fighters. In addition, he was set to appear in
Sonic X-treme as a boss character, but did not due to its cancellation. He was also mentioned in a DVD-ROM Flash comic that came with
Sonic and the Secret Rings.
