Scratch is one of Bowser's allies, along with Grounder. Both characters are originated from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Scratch will make his first appearance in HTF Legends.
Character Bio[]
Scratch resembles a tall, lanky, roughly humanoid rooster or chicken with white feathers, scaled feet, wing-like arms, silver body armor, black collar and belt, a red rooster comb on top of his head, a red two-feathered tail, and a yellow beak and legs, similar to Cluckoids or Clucker (named コケッコー "Kokekko" in Japan), one of the enemy Badniks in the Wing Fortress Zone of Sonic 2. He is distinctified by his prominent cockadoodle-like laugh, "Ba-ha! Ha-ha!". Scratch seems to be the leader of the badniks, has an IQ of 40, and is marginally smarter than Grounder, making up for his lack of Grounder's assorted gadgets.
Scratch does not have much in the way of abilities. Like a real rooster/chicken, Scratch is capable of pecking foes, with the pecking more reminiscent of a woodpecker. He also seems to have a telescopic neck which can extend and retract - his head often retracts into his torso to protect himself. He is also said to be the smartest of the badniks, but that isn't saying much considering how stupid they all are.
Like his counterpart Grounder, Scratch is amazingly stupid and fails at almost everything he does. He is quite persistent and fairly durable - whenever either of them get damaged or blown to bits (which is very often), they can be repaired very easily and always come back for more.
Trivia[]
- In Japan, Scratch's name was Cluck, which happens to be the name of Robotnik's pet chicken in the Sonic the Hedgehog television series.
- Many believe that Scratch is based off Clucker, a badnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit) on the Wing Fortress Zone. Coincidentally, Scratch's Japanese name was Cluck.
- Scratch, along with Grounder, will make their first appearances in HTF Legends, where they will become two of Bowser's allies.
