Forelock is a character that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. He is a grey-furred, anthropomorphic unicorn. He claimed to be a "visitor" to Mobius, and that he originated from an alternate dimension.
Appearance[]
He has pure black eyes and has small gold rings in his ears, left nostril, and right eyebrow. His mane is banded into numerous small pigtails. He wears a light brown tunic and a crimson cloak, as well as a jewel pendant around his neck.
History[]
Easy Target[]
Miles "Tails" Prower first encountered Forelock when the unicorn was being attacked by four Badniks. Tails destroyed three of the Badniks, and Forelock destroyed the fourth with an energy blast. He said that he would grant Tails a wish for helping him. When Tails wished for Mobius to be free of Doctor Robotnik, Forelock apparently whisked Tails away to the Metropolis Zone, where Tails found himself holding a rifle in a book depository, overlooking a passing open-top motorcade in which Robotnik was riding. Forelock told Tails that he should shoot Robotnik to free the planet of his evil, but Tails knew that it was wrong and refused. Forelock then returned Tails to the clearing where they met and told him that the situation was just an illusion he conjured in order to test him. Tails made the right choice, since pulling the trigger would have made him just as evil and ruthless as Robotnik. After promising Tails that if he continues to follow his good instincts his wish will one day come true, Forelock floated off the ground and then vanished into thin air.[1]
Personality[]
Forelock is a benevolent person who tests heroes' nobility. He is very conscientious and moral, believing that stooping to the ways of evil to rid the world of a villain would be wrong.
Powers and abilities[]
Forelock possesses magical powers, including the ability to fire blue energy blasts from his hands which are powerful enough to destroy a large Badnik in one shot, teleport, levitate above the ground, and create very realistic illusions. Forelock can even create an illusion of an entire city.
Trivia[]
- His name is based of a forelock is the part of a horse's mane that grows from the animal's poll (top of the head) and falls between the ears and onto the forehead. It is also a pun on the word warlock, meaning a male witch.
