The ghost of Pachacamac seems nicer than his game counterpart
In the first episode, Knuckles is greeted by the ghost of Pachacamac, an Echidna elder from our hero’s tribe who has since passed. In the games, Pachacamac debuted in Sonic Adventure and was alive thousands of years before Sonic and Knuckles. He was also portrayed as a bit of a bastard who committed war crimes. In the live-action universe, who he is depends on who he’s talking to. Sonic remembers him as a violent tribe chief who killed his caretaker Longclaw in the first movie, but when his ghost greets Knuckles, he’s kind of an old doofus and a source for gags like falling through the floor as Knuckles tries to hug his ghostly projection. He also guides comic relief cop Wade through a musical number in episode 4. But more on that later. Hard to believe this echidna killed people in cold blood when he’s spending most of his Knuckles screen time being a silly little guy.
