This is basically Lyric's original design from Sonic Synergy, aka Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyric. I really wish they kept this design instead of the boring ass snake we got. You don't see many owl villans.

From what I know, this Lyric was gonna have his own owl-like badniks, instead of controlling Dr. Eggman's, like how he did in the final release of the game.

I tried to make a more original story with him and tried to make him an actual menacing villan.
