King Arthur's horse is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a non-anthropomorphic horse made of dark magic and the personal steed of King Arthur, who uses it as his main method of transportation.

Appearance[]

King Arthur's steed is a non-anthropomorphic horse made completely of dark magic, standing even taller than its rider. It is quite muscular with dark gray fur, pupil-less yellow eyes, and a thin tail.

The steed is covered in heavy armor, which consist of pointy gray and black leg covers, dark golden plating running up its neck to its muzzle, a black, purple and red neck band, a dark golden chest plate with a purple eye on it, and multilayered dark golden back armor with elaborate symbols and a red saddle.

History[]

Sonic and the Black Knight[]

During his reign as the Black Knight, King Arthur used his horse to pursue and corner Merlina the Wizard. When Sonic the Hedgehog then showed up and escaped with Merlina after dispatching Arthur's minions, Arthur's horse carried its rider during Arthur's search for the pair after Arthur gave his knights new assignments. Upon finding Sonic, Arthur and his horse had a brief fight with Sonic and Caliburn before leaving him to his own futile efforts to stand against them.

A couple of days later, King Arthur and his horse fought Sonic and Caliburn again at Avalon. This time however, Sonic proved too much of a match for them and upon Arthur's initial defeat, his horse seemingly dissolved into thin air.

King Arthur's horse charging in the air, from Sonic and the Black Knight.

King Arthur's horse is considerably fast, seemingly able to gallop almost on par with Sonic. It is extremely strong physically as well, being able to carry King Arthur despite the heavy armor and weaponry the king utilizes. The horse can also utilize supernatural abilities, including flight by galloping on air or stay floating in the air when standing still, and powerful charges where it surrounds itself with energy.

Arthur's horse cornering Merlina, from Sonic the Hedgehog #197.

King Arthur's horse appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by Archie Comics. It is the faithful stead of King Arthur and makes its sole appearance in the adaptation of Sonic and the Black Knight 's opening cinematic.[1]

In this continuity, it is a being from another Zone connected to the ‘In Another Time, In Another Place’ reality in the multiverse.

Mirroring beat for beat like the game, King Arthur's horse provided King Arthur mobility to pursue the fleeing royal wizard, Merlina the Wizard, until she summoned Sonic the Hedgehog and escaped. It brought Arthur up to a nearby cliff to address his Knights of the Round Table before continuing the chase.

Trivia[]

  • Strangely, King Arthur's horse makes galloping sounds in mid-air.
