First @ TSSZ: New Character in Sonic Unleashed?

Treat this as strictly a rumor for now but following on from the story posted earlier by Andrew Paulson, it seems the Sonic Unleashed comic in Dengeki DS magazine may contain a new Sonic character. Obviously not a lot is known at this point but manaita on deviantART has posted a scan of the character. The image in the Manga was black and white, like most Manga are but she’s taken the liberty of trying to colour in the character, apparently called Tip, or Chip, depending on the Japanese translation.

A new character for Sonic Unleashed was revealed.
The administrator of Sonic Channel blog, Ms. Moro mentioned that “Dengeki Nintendo DS serializes Sonic Unleashed comic now, and an new character for the game appears in this issue.”
So I’ve got that magazine and read the comic. This is the new character Tip (or Chip…)
He seems to lose his memory in the comic, so Sonic seems to help him to take back it.
Sonic says “There might be someone who knows you, anyway, we need some information about the shrine.” and they head to that town – the white clay buildings town.

Obviously, again, please remember this is a rumor for now until we get better confirmation. If the above information is correct though we can assume the ‘white clay buildings’ are the Greek ones seen in the Mykonos level. Even if the character does turn out to be real there’s a chance he could only be a comic book character and not feature in Sonic Unleashed the game.

Blarg, I don’t like these cute characters.

What the fuck is that?!

If the admin for the Sonic Channel blog says it’s “a new character for the game”, then, yeah, this guy will be in Sonic Unleashed.
At least it’s not another time-traveling, gun-toting hedgehog. =P

It’s strange, from the looks of this scan the design doesn’t really fit in with the Sonic Team character design style….small hands and feet, no gloves or shoes, no mouth on one side of the face.
Hmm, I’m not sure what to think.

He is … cute! :3 This reminds me of the golden Sonic Days with Flickys and all the other animals! Looks like Sonic Team are really going to get a little back to the routes! 🙂
I´m impressed that it´s not another Sonic recolour, no, this time its something original! Nice little guy, now I want to know if he can talk!?

i like it the face kinda reminds me of how tails head is drawn and looks like a small pet that someone owns so likely i’m expecting that in the mykonos town stage that u must go around asking about the animal until someone gives you info i’m guessing this is a town stage mission sorta and it follows you until you find out who owns it and by the way sonic mentioned shrines so he has to find it to restore himself to normal

Hmm, I see a slight resemblence to the Sonic Archie comic’s Muttski.

Kill it. KILL IT NOW. WITH FIRE.
Could anyone put some scans up of the story?

I dont see how its a new sonic character, looks like the artist who makes the sonic games will have to “sonicficate” this one. Too me it looks like a mutated tails chao XP.
