A brilliant scientist with an IQ of 300 and the arch-nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog, Eggman is driven by a desire to conquer the world and establish his own empire, the Eggman Empire. Central to his vision is Eggmanland, a city he seeks to build as the backbone of his regime. His ambitions are fueled by his love of machines and extreme egomania, although his plans are always stopped by Sonic. Full name: Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik Gender: Male Age: In his 40s Height: 185 cm Species: Human Likes: The Chaos Emeralds, Conquering the world, Designing robots, Gerald Robotnik, machines, defeating Sonic Dislikes: Sonic and his friends, Machines that do not work, Losing, When Sonic defeats him, His plans failing, Anyone who betrays him, His mustache getting ruined, Being mocked Eggman is an obese human with a small, bald head. He has a distinct pinkish nose and a bushy, mahogany mustache. His eyes, which are very rarely seen, are colored blue. Eggman's height is 185 centimeters (6 ft 1 in) and he weighs 128 kilograms (282 lb). His attire Described as the world's vilest person and worst screw-up, Eggman is an immoral mad scientist who only thinks about doing bad things. He always aspires to conquer the world to create what he deems a utopia, dubbed "Eggmanland". This gives him ridiculous delusions of grandeur and the psychotic belief that the world's problems will be solved if he rules it despite being far from the case. Eggman constantly uses his scientific genius and robotic expertise to create weapons and gadgets in his bid to build Eggmanland. Eggman is extremely narcissistic and egotistical, noted for being very selfish, sometimes rude, and greedy. His main motivation is gaining constant attention, and views himself as the best scientist in the world. He has a tendency to plaster his persona all over his creations and bases to fuel his ego, but occasionally bases his work around other themes. Because he places so much value on aesthetics, especially his own, his design philosophy often focuses on design and gimmicks over functionality. Overflowing with self-confidence and pride, he works hard on his speeches and hates it when others interrupt them. Inmensely self-serving, Eggman only thinks about what he wants and has little regard for the consequences of his actions, viewing the world and its people as inferior and weak. When revealing himself, he ignores his own allies and gives all the credit to himself instead. He is very opportunistic and is only interested in things that benefit him, rarely seeking collaborations with others unless they can aid him in some way. He merely sees others, his own minions included, as pawns to be used and discarded when they have outlasted their purpose, imposing harsh punishments on those that disobey or disappoint him and using them as vessels of both psychological and physical abuse. Eggman has a passion for robotics, being a mechanophile who believes machines are beautiful and takes pride in controlling them. He considers his Badniks his greatest inventions and envisions a world completely mechanized to his liking. He is infamous for his disregard for nature, maintaining that living in a heavily industrialized and polluted place is preferable to being in one with clean air. He has no qualms about kidnapping Animals to use them as living energy sources for his robots. Despite his desire for world domination, selfishness, etc. Eggman does have a human side. He does not appreciate senseless destruction and torment from others beyond his control, as seen he was disgusted by his grandfather's willingness to sacrifice his people for research. Despite his amazing intellect, Eggman's impatience and arrogance tend to make him act hastily and overlook crucial details when he tries to concentrate on a greater goal. Far from being subtle, Eggman's overconfidence sometimes makes him boast a lot, making him accidentally reveal details about his plans and give hints to his enemies as to how to defeat him, all of this without him even realizing what he is saying. He is also noted to not be very good at keeping things hidden. Not much is known about Ivo's early life, but his family was prominent in science, with many members becoming distinguished intellectuals. His paternal grandfather was Gerald Robotnik, regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time, who designed the Space Colony ARK and directed Project Shadow. One of his cousins was Maria, who lived on the ARK due to chronic illness and was killed there prior to its closure fifty years ago. Born Ivo Robotnik, Eggman deeply admired Gerald and wished to replicate his achievements. His narcissism emerged early on, as he could not understand why his family gave more attention to Maria after her death than to him. He once considered becoming a teacher solely to boss people around. Robotnik's God complex eventually led him to seek a planetary empire with himself as its leader. His plans to achieve world conquest, however, would be continually foiled by Sonic the Hedgehog, who nicknamed him "Eggman" due to his egg-shaped body; Robotnik himself later adopted the name as a sign of empowerment. Eggman invaded South Island, kidnapping its Animals to use as fuel sources for his new robot army, the Badniks. His goal was to find the Chaos Emeralds said to rest there to build weapons of mass destruction. However, Sonic secured the Emeralds first and expelled the doctor from the island. However, Eggman would later return many times to execute his new world domination plans, like tricking Knuckles, the guardian of the Master Emerald, into thinking that Sonic and Tails are going to steal the Master Emerald, while his true plan was to steal the Master Emerald for himself while Knuckles is fighting Sonic and Tails. In an another time, he found a mysterious jewel named the Phantom Ruby which can create illusions. Eggman used the Phantom Ruby to power his Eggrobos into Hard Boiled Heavies and transported Sonic, Tails and Knuckles into many places. Eggman is an immense intellectual with an IQ of 300, which he genetically inherited from his family of brilliant scientists. He is easily one of the greatest inventors in the world, with unparalleled scientific knowledge and robotic engineering skills. His intellect alone makes him a very formidable opponent. Eggman has designed a vast array of weapons, machinery, and devices, including armies of robot soldiers known as Badniks, which range from basic Motobugd to advanced Eggrobos. He has even created some of the most powerful robots in history, such as Metal Sonic—who rivals Sonic the Hedgehog in speed and power—and the Hard Boiled Heavies, the powered-up Eggrobos.. Eggman's expertise extends to piloting his self-designed vehicles, from the Egg Mobile to various combat mechs. Physically, Eggman is surprisingly strong, quick, and agile for his obesity. He can shatter a large and thick wall of ice and punch away cars and trains using only his bare hands. Furthermore, he is able to sprint at immense speeds, comparable to even Sonic himself for a few seconds. He is also an incredibly skilled pilot: able to manipulate many different kinds of his own mechs, robots and vehicles in difficult battles with Sonic and even his own mechs. He also has proficiency in using handguns. Eggman often rides on his flying vehicle known as the Egg Mobile. The Egg Mobile is a versatile vehicle, being able to have many types of weapons installed to it like wrecking balls, spikes, flame shooters and guns. The Egg Mobile can also attach itself to many of Eggman's mechs so that Eggman can control the mech.
