Surge the Tenrec (サージ・ザ・テンレック Sāji za Tenrekku?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is an anthropomorphic tenrec with modified cybernetic enhancements implanted by Dr. Starline and with no memories of her past, and the companion of Kitsunami the Fennec. She was made for the sole intended purpose of destroying Sonic the Hedgehog and replacing him as the hero of the world. However, after discovering the secret of her origin, Surge would begin seeking revenge on everyone she blames for her past life being taken away from her. Though after realizing that her creator is gone, she now seeks to become her own hero while also taking out Sonic and Dr. Eggman whenever they show up. Surge is an anthropomorphic tenrec of average height, being about as tall as Sonic the Hedgehog. She possesses mostly bright green fur with a patch of black countershading on her face and eyelids and angular teal eyes. She has a peach muzzle with a medium-long black nose, upturned sideburns on each side of her head, peach-skinned arms and several spiky quills that she keeps in a ponytail by a black hairband with a sextet of silver studs atop her head, leaving her quills turned forward. She also has a tiny nub tail split in two, sharp teeth and tall, vertical and flat ears atop her head. For attire, she wears two silver earrings on each of her ears, a black shirt with torn-off sleeves, white gloves that possess visible lining with black cuffs that possess a sextet of silver studs, a silver ring on each of her index and ring fingers and yellow and baggy pants with black stripes down the sides that are held up by a black belt with a round and silver belt buckle. Her shoes have yellow flares with double spikes to make them appear that give them a ripped appearance resembling lighting bolts while the back of the shoes is white. A pair of white straps can be found on the yellow section of the shoes, which also have black toes, black soles with a pair of metal plates embedded and silver studs on the edges. In addition to her normal attire, she also wears bonus attires: While she was undergoing Starline's hypnosis, she wore a light blue hospital gown, no shoes or gloves and her hair was undone.
