Overview
The characters in the Sonic series mainly occupy the so-called "animal" type characters, which are anthropomorphic animals, and (with a few exceptions) are characterized by the name of the original model animal being indicated at the end of their names.
Although this is often misunderstood by those unfamiliar with Sonic, many human and non-human characters other than Dr. Eggman also appear in the series.
The number of characters from different media such as the American comics and animated versions is extremely large, so the following list focuses on well-known characters or those for which articles exist or soon to be.
