"Ray" redirects here. You may be looking for Ray the Manta.

Ray the Flying Squirrel (レイ・ザ・フライングスクイレル Rei za Furaingu Sukuireru?) is character who makes his appearance as a playable character in SegaSonic the Hedgehog. Although he hasn't appeared in any subsequent games, he has an expanded role in the Archie Comics series, in which he was a member of the Chaotix team and has been the constant companion of SegaSonic costar Mighty the Armadillo.

Physical Appearance

Ray has golden yellow fur and dark tan skin on his muzzle, inner ears and torso. He has black eyes, a small tapered hair tuft at the top back of his head (making it appear somewhat teardrop-shaped), a furry skin membrane connecting his waist to his lower arms, small, perky triangular ears, a shiny, bulbous black nose and long, durable club-shaped tail.

He wears white gloves with large, sock-like cuffs, red sneakers with a white buckle-strap, and white socks. These shoes are apparently almost identical with Sonic's iconic sneakers.

Game appearances

SegaSonic the Hedgehog

Ray's only major appearance is in SegaSonic the Hedgehog arcade game. In the intro, Ray gets captured by Doctor Robotnik along with Mighty the Armadillo and Sonic the Hedgehog himself. After that Robotnik imprisoned them to his captive Island where trio has team up to escape from its dangerous hazards and traps. As the trio got to doctor's tower, Robotnik actives self-destruction of island, but luckily the trio and Robotnik manages to get out of island before its explosion. And thus Sonic, Mighty and Ray foiled Robotnik's plot.

In the game, one of the earliest to feature a voice cast, Ray's voice was provided by Hinako Yoshino (credited as Hiroko Kanamaru).

Gale Racer

Since SegaSonic the Hedgehog, Ray made cameo appearance as a key chain along with Sonic and Mighty in the Sega game Gale Racer, the Sega Saturn version of Rad Mobile released in 1994.

Sonic Generations

Years later Ray makes another cameo appearance in console/PC version of Sonic Generations, where he and Mighty can be seen on missing posters dotted throughout the City Escape. The poster mentions that they've been missing since 1993, referencing Ray's debut appearance in SegaSonic the Hedgehog.

Personality

Not much is known about Ray's personality, but it is shown during SegaSonic the Hedgehog that Ray acts as a semi comic-relief character of the trio. He's also shown to be slightly more fearful than Sonic and Mighty.

Abilities

Due to Ray's sole playable appearance, Ray's moveset is very limited. In the arcade game, Ray shares the same abilities that Sonic and Mighty have, including the basic Spin Jump, and he is also rather agile. Being a flying squirrel, he has yellow prehensile tail that he is seen capitalizing as a third hand.
