The Downunda Dark Egg Legion is a group that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is a Dark Egg Legion chapter based in the continent of Downunda. Consisting entirely of Platypuses, it was led by Duck "Bill" Platypus of the Downunda Freedom Fighters, who had previously led his people while brainwashed by the evil Crocbot. When they decided to join Dr. Eggman, the Platypuses forced Bill to lead them again, but this time he chose to use the opportunity to sabotage Eggman's empire from within.[1]

History[]

Formation[]

Following Dr. Eggman's push to gain control of Downunda, the resident Platypuses saw an opportunity to gain power, and rallied for Duck "Bill" Platypus to lead them as a new chapter of the Dark Egg Legion, considering he had assumed leadership of them before, despite being under the mind control of Crocbot at the time. Unable to dissuade them, Bill reluctantly pledged allegiance to Robotnik in an effort to manage the crisis, and became a Grandmaster. He and the rest of the Platypuses then underwent the Legionization process, giving them cybernetic implants, and officially forming the Downunda Dark Egg Legion, setting up their base in the Great Crater. However, despite being the Grandmaster of the newly formed legion chapter, Bill was still loyal to the Downunda Freedom Fighters, and attempted to make as little progress as possible without Eggman finding out about his true motives.[2]

At some point, they also formed a deal with Dr. Finitevus, who lent them his Warp Ring technology in return for being allowed to study the Master Emerald at his leisure.[2]

Echoes of the Past[]

Of his own free will, Duck "Bill" Platypus teamed up with Eggman and began leading the Downunda Dark Egg Legion, albeit poorly. In alliance with Finitevus, the legion chained Angel Island to the ground. They later ended up capturing the Chaotix and the Downunda Freedom Fighters. However, Bill released them upon learning of Fintevus' plans. He then revealed that he had only been pretending to lead the platypuses in order to stall Eggman's takeover. [1]
