Help! The miners are trapped in the mine! Can you help? Please save them! Oh, I'm gonna get fired for this!


— Foreman Fred, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric

Foreman Fred, more commonly referred to as Earl,[1] is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom series. He is an anthropomorphic animal and construction worker who works at a warehouse in a different village[2] on Seaside Island.

Appearance

Earl is a lanky humanoid animal, slightly taller than Amy but shorter than Knuckles. He has long, thin arms and legs, a short pointy tail and an almost cylinder-shaped head with small triangular ears, brown fur with tan fur on his front torso, and a peach muzzle. The fur on top of his head is spiky, forming a hairstyle. He also has a long black nose similar to Sonic's and brown eyes. In the TV series, he is shown having blue eyes however. His attire consists of a yellow safety helmet, an orange vest, dark orange gloves and dark olive green shoes with metal tips. He wears a loaded tool belt around his waist.

Foreman Fred Profile v2

Foreman Fred in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.

At some point, Earl was promoted too early – and probably without merit – leaving him in situations beyond his capabilities.[3] He eventually joined Cliff at his excavation site where he worked with the miners to uncover the remnants of the Ancient's civilization in the undeground. When the mines collapsed and left some miners trapped inside though, Earl had no choice but to seek aid. While panicking, he got Amy Rose and Knuckles the Echidna to help him. After the duo rescued the miners, Earl gave them a Power Glyph, a relic the miners had found, as a memento of his appreciation.

My name is Earl Bob

Earl working with Sonic.

Having taken up a job at a warehouse, Earl worked with Sonic (having gone underground as "Bob"), whom Earl told where to find an imposter Sonic had been looking for after seeing said person pass through town. However, Earl got mortally injured by a stray horseshoe, so Sonic brought an ingredient for his physician's Anti-Horseshoe Elixir which got Earl back on his feet. Wanting to thank Sonic, Earl brought an inert Metal Sonic to the Village Center in time to clear Sonic's name after he had been framed for thievery by the robot.[1]

Personality

Earl is a friendly and helpful guy, providing Sonic with extensive aid during his escapades with Metal Sonic, and has a healthy workmoral.[1] A noticeable quirk he has is making analogies that are hard to follow. He also appears to possess an extensive streak of bad luck, having a long history of getting hit by horseshoes.[1]

While working with Cliff, Earl was well-aware of his limitations, knowing fully that he was in way over his head at the excavations. He knew the rules and regulations but not know how to apply them, and would as such get him extremely nervous and panicky in stressful situations. He is also not the quickest on his feet which only makes matters worse.[3]
