- **Formerly Known As:** Metal Sonic
- **Occupation:** Enforcer for Doctor Eggman
- **Species:** Water Dragon-Hedgehog hybrid
- **Hair:** Long purple hair styled into twintails
- **Other Features:** Dragon horns, fish fin-shaped ears, a very short fluffy tail

- **Neural Interface:** Sash possesses a cybernetic neural interface integrated into his biology, a remnant of his origins as Metal Sonic.
Sash is highly motivated and relentless in pursuit of his goals. However, beneath this driven exterior, he is experiencing a growing internal conflict, now that he is no longer bound by programming.
- **Super Speed:** Sash's most notable ability, inherited from his Water Dragon heritage. At peak velocity he can outrun speeding vehicles and even gunfire.
- **Durability:** Sash can withstand falls from great heights, intense pressure, energy blasts, extreme heat, and blows from supernaturally strong opponents without being significantly weakened. He can also ram through walls and heavy metals headfirst. He is not invulnerable or immortal, sufficient cumulative damage can still kill him.
- **Endurance:** Sash can sustain prolonged physical activity without fatiguing.
- **Underwater Endurance:** As a Water Dragon, Sash can remain submerged for significantly extended periods without needing to surface.
- **Hair Manipulation:** Sash can stretch and stiffen his hair tendrils at will, using them as whip-like weapons.
- **Hair Combat:** He has developed a personal fighting style built around his hair tendrils, using them as whips capable of cutting through enemies and obstacles.
- **Martial Arts:** Formally trained in hand-to-hand combat, Sash is a proficient close-quarters fighter.
- **Thievery:** Sash has been trained in theft and stealth-based skills.

Wherever Doctor Eggman is currently based, as Sash remains in his service.
After suffering repeated defeats at the hands of Sonic, Metal Sonic concluded that the key to finally overcoming him was to become organic. Over five years of secret, independent research and effort, he succeeded, emerging as Sash, a living, breathing Water Dragon-Hedgehog hybrid.
However, the transformation had an unintended consequence: without programming compelling his loyalty, Sash is beginning to genuinely question his devotion to Eggman. A growing part of him is disillusioned with the man he once called his father. Despite this, he continues to carry out orders, because without that purpose, he does not yet know who or what he is. At his core, he still wonders whether he is simply Metal Sonic wearing a new face.
