The Rocky (ロッキー, Rokkī^?) is a creature that appears in the Sonic X anime series and its comic series published by Archie Comics. They are a race of non-anthropomorphic seals native to Sonic's world.

Description

Anatomy

The typical Rocky is a diminutive form of seal, although it resembles more a pinniped or walrus. They have grey-whitish skin/fur with rotund heads, two large blue eyes, small triangular flippers, and a fin-like hind flipper each. They each also have a fussy white muzzle reminiscing a mustache and a small black nose.

Characteristics

Although recognized as animal life, the Rockies are remarkably intelligent and sociable, having been shown to live in civilized environments and reside in their own houses.

History
