A powerful cooling system hyper-chills the air blasted forth from these fans. Take a direct hit and you'll be an ice cube before you can say, "Brr!"


— Description, Sonic Unleashed[1]

The Egg Blizzard is an enemy that appears in Sonic Unleashed. They are a model of Badniks created by Dr. Eggman. These robots have the ability to blow hyper-chilled air at their opponents.

Appearance

The Egg Blizzards are bipedal robots with torsos resembling round mechanical fans. They have a pair of small stubby legs on the bottom of their torsos and long segmented arms on the side of them. Sitting on the top of their torsos they have two round green lights, serving as their eyes. They are mainly colored glaucous with electric blue outlines, and have light blue fans.

Personality

The Egg Blizzards appear to have a somewhat playful side, humorously dancing around in a ballerina-like fashion every now and again.

Powers and abilities

The Egg Blizzards possess a powerful cooling system that allows them to blow hyper-chilled air from their fans at such low temperatures that they can instantly freeze their targets in a layer of ice.

Overview

The Egg Blizzards can be encountered in both the daytime and nighttime Action Stages/Stages of Sonic Unleashed. In the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 version, the Egg Blizzards exclusively appear in all Cool Edge's Acts, while in the PlayStation 2/Nintendo Wii version, they appear in both all Cool Edge's Acts and Jungle Joyride Night Act II: Restless Coastside.

In gameplay, whenever the player is hit by the Egg Blizzards' attack, Sonic will become frozen and unable to move. In the PlayStation 2/Wii version, the player must wait until Sonic thaws on his own before he can move again, while on the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 version the player can break free prematurely by moving the left stick left and right quickly.

In battle, the Egg Blizzards attack whenever they spot Sonic by periodically expelling an icy wind for several seconds. On the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 version, whenever the Egg Blizzards are knocked away from their original position, they will dance around for a few seconds before resuming their attack.

In the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 version, in the nighttime Action Stages, the player can use the Egg Blizzards' atack against other enemies. By grabbing an Egg Blizzard, the player can use the Egg Blizzard's freezing breath by pressing PSTriangleButton/XboxY while controlling the direction Sonic is facing with the Analog Stick. Enemies hit by the Egg Blizzards' breath are frozen and unable to move and can be defeated with a single attack. However, if the enemies are left frozen for too long, they will eventually thaw out.
