Bivalve Clam[1] is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is a mobian clam and a member of the Forty Fathom Freedom Fighters.
Appearance[]
Bivalve is a non-anthropomorphic clam with a bright orange outer shell, a yellowish-white mantle border, and a pink mantle. He has a tongue, something that real-world clams lack, and his mantle does not protrude.
Bivalve is close in size to Tails, who stands at 56 marks.[2]
History[]
Southern Crossover[]
It was Bivalve who initially declared the Sea Fox "totaled", after the group narrowly rescued its pilot, Tails from Octobot (Ray later found someone that can repair it).[3][4]
Eel of Fortune[]
Bivalve decided that Bottlenose's victory over Eel Capone should be immortalized with a cruise over a "choral reef."[5]
The Island of Misfit Badniks[]
Bivalve finally made use of his abilities during the battle at the sunken Island of Misfit Badniks. While he was able to handle the lesser Classic Badniks without much trouble, the giant Pseudo-Sonic was another matter, and required aid from Big Fluke.[6]

Powers and abilities[]
As an aquatic mobian, Bivalve is capable of aquatic respiration, allowing him to breathe both on land and underwater.
While Bivalve appears to be the least mobile of the Forty Fathom Freedom Fighters, he can jump quite well. He also has a powerful offensive water-jet, as well as a jaw strong enough to crush Motobug. Additionally, he has a hard shell can withstand a punch from Ball Hog, and Buzzbomber's stings are a mere annoyance.[1][6]
Trivia[]
- "Bivalve" is the name of a class of mollusks with laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts.
