Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik is the main bad guy, or antagonist, in the world of Sonic the Hedgehog. He first showed up in 1991 in the game Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive. He was last seen in the game Sonic Frontiers in 2022.

How Eggman Was Created

In April 1990, the company Sega wanted a new character to be their mascot. They had many ideas. One of these ideas was a funny drawing, or caricature, of Theodore Roosevelt, who was once a president.

This drawing became the main idea for Dr. Eggman's look. Sega wanted a character that was very different from Sonic. Sonic is fast and natural, so Eggman was made to represent technology and building things. The creators also wanted a character that would be easy for kids to draw.

What Eggman Is Like

Eggman is a very smart scientist and a genius at building machines. He has a super high IQ of 300! He is an expert in making robots.

Even though he's so smart, Eggman uses his intelligence for selfish reasons. He always tries to take over the world and create his own perfect place, which he calls a utopia. Even when his plans fail, he never gives up. He doesn't care what anyone else thinks about his actions. He sees anyone who tries to stop him as a big problem.

Sometimes, even with all his smarts, Eggman can act a bit crazy. He might not even realize when he's in trouble. He also really dislikes it when people snoop around his stuff.
