{{Nihongo|'''Humans'''|人間|Ningen}} are creatures that appear in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series]]. They share the planet with other sapient creatures, but are notably the most populated beings on [[Earth]].

==Description==
===Anatomy===
[[File:Sonic Adventure Human NPCs.jpg|thumb|left|225px|Various humans from [[Station Square]], from ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''.]]
Humans' anatomy is very similar to their real-life counterparts, although various depictions of them often stylize them as either [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)|realistic]], [[Sonic Adventure 2|semi]]-[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|realistic]], [[Sonic Adventure|anime-like]] or even [[Sonic Unleashed|cartoony with exaggerated features]]. Examples of humans with exaggerated features include [[Professor Pickle]], whose eyebrows cover his eyes; [[Witchcart]], who has a long, pointy nose; and [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]], with his broad shoulders and spindly arms, round curves and noodle legs.

Humans' skin tones can fall into multiple shades of colors, such as peach or brown. Their hair colors can also differ, though it is rare to find a human with hair that is not brown, blonde, black, or white, unlike most anthropomorphic animals. In terms of body shape, humans are much more diverse than anthropomorphic animals, as they can range greatly between different individuals.

Furthermore, they are not shown to be capable of breathing in the vacuum of outer space as their neighboring anthropomorphic natives, like [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Tails]].

===Characteristics and culture===
{{Quote left|[[Amy Rose|I]] know that people fight over the most trivial things. Some people may be selfish, like [[Gerald Robotnik|the professor]] said... but they're basically good, if they try their best and never give up on their wishes. They always have a reason to be happy!|[[Amy Rose]], ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]''<ref name="SA2 Amy"/>}}
Humans are, for the most part, a very diverse species. Due to the amount of civilizations they have formed, humans follow different cultures,<ref name="TailsTube1">{{Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmzc8L8zTBk|publisher=Sonic the Hedgehog |title=TailsTube #1 (feat. Sonic) |work=YouTube |date=24 March 2022 |accessdate=24 March 2022}}</ref> which include a variety of [[Festival of the Sun|traditions]], [[Hallowmoon|beliefs]], and languages; some of which have endured for generations and are still practiced today.<ref>{{Cite game |dev=[[Sonic Team]] |date=19 December 2008 |game=Sonic Unleashed |system=PlayStation 3 |pub=[[Sega]] |area=World Map |quote='''[[Shamar]]''' - A town of ruins and ancient customs, now celebrating the Feast of Sun and Moon.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite game |dev=[[Sonic Team]] |date=19 December 2008 |game=Sonic Unleashed |system=PlayStation 3 |pub=[[Sega]] |area=World Map |quote='''[[Chun-nan]]''' - This small town in the mountains has passed down its pork bun recipe for generations.}}</ref> This has allowed them to design and build impressive structures over time that are widely regarded as masterpieces in the current era.<ref>{{Cite game |dev=[[Sonic Team]] |date=19 December 2008 |game=Sonic Unleashed |system=PlayStation 3 |pub=[[Sega]] |area=World Map |quote='''[[Adabat]]''' - This village is an architectural marvel, built atop the water in a jungle strewn with ancient ruins..}}</ref><ref>{{Cite game |dev=[[Gameloft]] |date=8 June 2009 |fullgame=[[Sonic Unleashed (mobile)|Sonic Unleashed]] |fullsystem=Mobile |pub=[[Sega]] |area=[[Apotos (Zone)|Apotos]] |quote=Eggman has escaped to Athens, Greece, one of most beautiful cities in the world.

But Sonic fears nothing!}}</ref> Despite the craziness and disasters that happen around them though, humans just want to get on with their lives, as they do not like to concern themselves with trivial matters, like the [[time of awakening]]. While humans have an infamous history of causing many horrific incidents, and there are still many selfish individuals out there, it is attested that most of them are good-hearted and only want to live their lives.<ref name="SA2 Amy">{{Cite game |dev=[[Sega Studio USA|Sonic Team USA]] |date=23 June 2001 |game=Sonic Adventure 2 |system=Dreamcast |pub=[[Sega]] |cutscene=[[Sonic Adventure 2/Script (Last)#Cutscene 5|Cutscene 5]] (Last Story) |quote='''[[Amy Rose|Amy]]''': I know that people fight over the most trivial things.

They are a noticeably expansive species on [[Earth]]. Its settlements are divided by a plethora of countries, each of which feature their own cultures and peoples.<ref name="TailsTube1" /> Politically, these countries may have different forms of government, including [[United Federation|republics]], [[Soleanna|monarchies]] and [[Eggman Empire|dictatorships]]. Humans are also capable of living in varied environments throughout the planet, almost making them a [[Wikipedia:Cosmopolitan distribution|cosmopolitan species]]. These include [[Adabat|rainforest]], [[Shamar|deserts]] and [[Holoska|frozen areas]]. This does not mean that their populations are uniformly distributed across earth, however, as some areas might hold more or less inhabitants than others, or not even hold any settlements at all. Also, humans prefer to live in the planet's continents; most islands and [[Lost Hex|other areas]] are, on the other hand, populated by anthropomorphic animals or [[Zeti|other species]] entirely.<ref name="TailsTube1" /> Lastly, they have very limited presence in outer space, aside from the few space stations by the Robotnik family.

====Gaia Temple guardians====
{{main|Gaia Temple guardian}}
[[File:SU Gwek.png|thumb|right|160px|Gaia temple guardian; [[Gwek]], from ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]''.]]
Humans are the only known species throughout generations to be Gaia Temple guardians that guard the [[Gaia Temple]]s across planet [[Earth]] for when the day [[Time of awakening]] occurs. This is interesting, as over the millions and millions of years of the conflict between [[Light Gaia]] and [[Dark Gaia]] on earth, Chip uses the Gaia Temples to combat Dark Gaia. Whether humans had always been the guardians over the temples is unknown, as [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] doesn't even mention humans when claiming the otherworldly [[Ancients]] are older than any of the other civilizations known to him.<ref>{{Cite game|dev1=[[Sonic Team]]|date=8 November 2022|game=Sonic Frontiers|system=PlayStation 5|publisher=[[Sega]]|area=View Fish-o-pedia Menu|quote='''Egg Memo 7''': Who were the Ancients? They predate any civilization by a wide margin.'' <br> ''The [[Knuckles Clan|echidnas]]? Pfft.'' <br> ''The [[Black Arms]]? Please.'' <br> ''The [[Babylonians]]? Hardly!'' <br> ''And yet they didn't seem to influence the world beyond these [[Kronos Island|three]] [[Ares Island|piddly]] [[Chaos Island|islands]]. Why? What stopped them from conquering the world?}}</ref> However, the guardians have mysterious and unique abilities that allow only them to assemble [[Planet Tablet]]s to access the [[Gaia Gate]]s. It is quite possible the humans as a species had been the temple guardians over the  millenniums but their varied cultures would likely be younger than the [[Knuckles Clan]].

===Powers and abilities===
Certain individuals among humanity have demonstrated exceptional intelligence and affinity for technology. This is evidenced by the [[Hint Box|complex machinery]] and inventions found in their cities, the [[Diablon|different]] [[Death Egg Robot|advanced]] [[Big Foot|mechs]] used by various parties, and their massive [[Space Colony ARK|space]] [[Death Egg|stations]] orbiting the planet.

[[File:DTDSONIC33.png|thumb|left|225px|The energy field created by the combined powers of [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Princess Elise the Third|Elise]], from [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (2006)]].]]
Fundamentally, humans have no special powers. Only a very small percentage of them have demonstrated a small degree of supernatural abilities. For example, [[Princess Elise the Third]] has demonstrated the power of visions and the ability to create an energy field by combining her powers with [[Sonic the Hedgehog|others]] (although this may simply be due to her having [[Iblis]] sealed within her) and [[Witchcart]] has demonstrated the ability to fire energy blasts and claimed that she can turn people into crystals. [[Kwami|Certain]] [[Marcantonio|distinct]] [[Kwod|individuals]] possess the ability to sense and communicate with spirits. The [[Duke of Soleanna]] has also demonstrated the ability to harness [[Chaos Emerald energy]] despite seemingly being a normal human.

====Robotnik====
The Robotnik family, such as [[Gerald Robotnik]], are able to achieve incredible feats above their own species capabilities using their gifted intelligence that seems to run through the bloodline.
[[File:CSG Eggman 002.png|thumb|200px|[[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]], from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog Classic Style Guide]]''.]]
[[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] is arguably the most superhuman of any human, exemplified by not only his feats of intelligence and adaptability, but surprising physical strength and speed too, on various occasions. The doctor's combat capabilities vastly outpaces other humans as he is [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'s main combative opponent in one-on-one fights on global/universe settings utilizing self-made, science fiction tools. Additionally, he has the ability and experience to manipulate governments, gods, and mystical energies by using various means to give himself an advantage, the skill to make [[Sage|artificial intelligence]] so advance he is practically creating life,<ref>{{Cite game|dev1=[[Sonic Team]]|date=8 November 2022|game=Sonic Frontiers|system=PlayStation 5|publisher=[[Sega]]|area=View Fish-o-pedia Menu|quote='''Egg Memo 19''': Who says I can't create life, huh? Just a bunch of proteins bumping together. Anyone can do that. A true genius does it with code and electrons! And if I did create life, she would be brilliant and loyal and perfectly effective! And you know why? Because her dad is a genius, that's why!?}}</ref> and the superhuman mental fortitude that doesn't allow any defeat to slow him down.

===Animation===
====''Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog''====
In the ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' television series, humans live on [[Mobius (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Mobius]] along with anthropomorphic animals and many other exotic species. Some are depicted with realistic proportions while others are more cartoonish in appearance, such as with [[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Dr. Ivo Robotnik]]'s family, whose members feature fat, tall bodies and, sometimes, a rugged, orange mustache.

====''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (TV series) ====
In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' television series, humans live on [[Mobius (SatAM)|Mobius]] along with anthropomorphic animals.

====''Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie'' ====
[[File:Sara-OVA-Artwork.png|thumb|150px|right|[[Sara|A 'human']] with animal appendages, from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie]]''.]]
In ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie]]'', humans with both long pointy and normal ears live on [[Planet Freedom]]. They appear to have formed a society with a White House at its center, lead by a [[President (OVA)|president]]. Most humans on Planet Freedom live on floating islands in the [[Land of the Sky]], where they co-exist alongside anthropomorphic animals. [[Doctor Robotnik (OVA)|Dr. Robotnik]] is the only known living being who resides in the [[Land of Darkness]].

The term "human" is never used in this media.

====''Sonic Underground'' ====
In the ''[[Sonic Underground]]'' television series, at least one other human is shown residing on [[Mobius (Sonic Underground)|Mobius]] in addition to [[Doctor Robotnik (Sonic Underground)|Dr. Robotnik]].<ref name="SUEP11">{{Cite episode |title=[[Winner Fakes All]] |series=[[Sonic Underground]] |season=1 |number=11 |first1=Mark |last1=Edens |network=[[Wikipedia:First-run syndication|First-run syndication]] |date=13 September 1999}}</ref>

====''Sonic X''====
{{Main|Human (Sonic X)}}
[[File:Sonic X ep 32 76.png|thumb|left|180px|A group of human children, from ''[[Flood Fight]]''.]]
In the ''[[Sonic X]]'' anime series, humans reside on [[Earth (Sonic X)|Earth]], a parallel planet to [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic X)|Sonic]]'s [[Sonic's world (Sonic X)|home world]]. In this media, humans are even more similar to their real-life counterparts than in the games, as their technology was almost nothing special until they studied the otherworldly [[E-Series (Sonic X)|E-Series]] robots. However, one man, [[Gerald Robotnik (Sonic X)|Gerald Robotnik]], did not fit this stereotype, as he was able to create things such as the [[Eclipse Cannon (Sonic X)|Eclipse Cannon]] and even [[Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic X)|Shadow]], although there are some hints that he may have had contact with Sonic's world at some point, given his knowledge of the [[Chaos Emerald (Sonic X)|Chaos Emeralds]].<ref name="SXEP33">{{Cite episode |title=[[Project Shadow (episode)|Project: Shadow]] |series=[[Sonic X]] |season=2 |number=33 |first1=Hiro |last1=Masaki |date=30 October 2004}}</ref><ref name="SXEP37">{{Cite episode |title=[[Robotnik's Revenge]] |series=[[Sonic X]] |season=2 |number=37 |first1=Kiyoko |last1=Yoshimura |date=27 November 2004}}</ref>

A [[Cascade|different group of humans]] also exist within Sonic's home universe, who appears to be several times more technologically advanced than even those on Sonic's planet, who are in turn more technologically advanced than the humans on Earth.<ref name="SXEP2">{{Cite episode |title=[[Sonic to the Rescue]] |series=[[Sonic X]] |season=1 |number=2 |first1= Hiro |last1= Masaki |date= 13 September 2003}}</ref><ref name="SXEP68">{{Cite episode |title=[[A Revolutionary Tale]] |series=[[Sonic X]] |season=3 |number=68 |first=Kiyoko |last=Yoshimura |date=18 February 2006}}</ref>

====''Sonic Boom''====
Despite being the only human to appear throughout the ''[[Sonic Boom (TV series)|Sonic Boom]]'' television series, [[Doctor Eggman (Sonic Boom)|Dr. Eggman]] makes infrequent references to both of his parents,<ref name="SBEP45">{{Cite episode |title=[[Robot Battle Royale (episode)|Robot Battle Royale]] |series=[[Sonic Boom (TV series)|Sonic Boom]] |season=1 |number=45 |first1=Romain |last1=Van Liemt |first2=Benoit |last2=Grenier |network=[[Cartoon Network]] |date=26 September 2015}}</ref><ref name="SBEP31">{{Cite episode |title=[[Closed Door Policy]] |series=[[Sonic Boom (TV series)|Sonic Boom]] |season=1 |number=31 |first=Eric |last=Trueheart |network=[[Cartoon Network]] |date=17 July 2015}}</ref> as well as an unnamed great-aunt,<ref name="SBEP29">{{Cite episode |title=[[Curse of the Cross Eyed Moose]] |series=[[Sonic Boom (TV series)|Sonic Boom]] |season=1 |number=29 |first=Natalys |last=Raut-Siezac |network=[[Cartoon Network]] |date=15 July 2015}}</ref> suggesting that there could be other humans.

===Books and comics===
====''Sonic the Hedgehog Story Comic''====
[[File:Sonic's Bodyguard Platoon.jpg|thumb|right|180px|[[Sonic's Bodyguard Platoon]], from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog Story Comic Volume 1]]''.]]
In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog Story Comic]]'' promotional [[manga]], Sonic has a group of humans called [[Sonic's Bodyguard Platoon]], consisting of five human girls with animal features and playboy bunny-like outfits. Appearing at the concert for [[Sonic the Hedgehog Band|Sonic's Band]], they are among the audience of [[animals]] from the games, acting as enthusiastic fans.

====''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (manga)====
In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (manga)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' serialized [[manga]] published by [[Shogakukan]], humans live on [[Earth (Shogakukan)|Earth]] alongside anthropomorphic animals. Aside from [[Doctor Eggman (Shogakukan)|Dr. Eggman]], very few humans appear and are implied to be an uncommon sight for the residents of [[Hedgehog Town]], although those who live there are aware of human celebrities and own knick-knacks and toys modeled after humans.

====Archie Comics====
{{Main|Human (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Human (Archie)}}
[[File:Humans (Archie Pre-Super Genesis Wave).jpg|thumb|left|180px|Government officials, from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog: The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia|Archie Sonic Encyclopedia]]''.]]

In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie comic series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' [[comic]] series and its spin-offs published by [[Archie Comics]], humans<ref name="StH125">[[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 125|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #125]], "Sonic Adventure 2.5: Omega"</ref><ref name="SU59">[[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 59|''Sonic Universe'' #59]], "Shadow Fall Part One: Into the Unknown"</ref> are said to be the ancestors of [[Overlander]]s, a species of devolved humanoids. Several thousand years ago, humans used to live on [[Mobius (Archie)|Mobius]] (back when the planet was still called "Earth") as the planet's dominant species. However, due to their actions towards the [[Xorda ambassador]], they antagonized the [[Xorda]], causing them to drop [[Gene Bomb]]s on the planet, eventually leading to the mutation of most humans into Overlanders and the animal kingdom into [[mobian]]s. However, some humans survived and lived in isolation in [[Station Square (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Station Square]] for thousands of years.<ref name="StH125" /><ref>[[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 146|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #146]], "The Good, The Bad, and the Unknown"</ref> As such, humanity still maintains a presence on Mobius, albeit in much fewer numbers.

After the [[Super Genesis Wave]] re-wrote history, humans became regular inhabitants of [[Sonic's World]], with little to no distinct differences between their game counterparts.

====''Sonic the Comic''====
[[File:The Marxio Bros.jpg|thumb|right|180px|The [[Marxio Brothers|Marxio Bros]], from [[Sonic the Comic Issue 39|''Sonic the Comic'' 39]].]]
In the ''[[Sonic the Comic]]'' series and its spin-offs published by [[Fleetway Editions]], most humans live on [[Earth (Sonic the Comic)|Earth]], a planet parallel to [[Mobius (Sonic the Comic)|Mobius]]. However, apart from [[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Sonic the Comic)|Dr. Robotnik]], [[Zorabel|some]] [[Chiller|other]] [[Miller|individuals]] are also shown to reside on Mobius.

In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (film series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' film series produced by [[Paramount Pictures]] and its spin-offs, humans live on [[Earth (Paramount)|Earth]]. Due to the live-action nature of the film, they look similar to their real-life counterparts, with their technology being almost nothing special, with the exception of [[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Paramount)|Dr. Ivo Robotnik]]'s [[Badnik (Paramount)|crea]][[Eggpod (Paramount)|ti]][[Egg Mobile (Paramount)|on]][[Giant Eggman Robot|s]].

==Trivia== 
*On the official Japanese website for ''[[Sonic Advance 2]]'', [[Cream the Rabbit|Cream]] was stated to be six years old "in human terms".<ref>{{Cite web |author=[[Sega]] |date=2002 |title=Sonic Advance 2 |url=http://sonic.sega.jp/advance2/cream.html |work=Cream |language=Japanese |accessdate=6 February 2023 |quote=テイルスより幼くて、人間でいうと６歳くらい？ [Younger than Tails, about six years old in human terms?]}}</ref> This suggests that humans either have a different way of assigning dates or age at a different rate in comparison to the anthopomorphic and [[Animals|non-anthropomorphic]] animals of the planet.
