Despite being the face of a Hollywood film franchise and the star of a three decade old video game franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog is still homeless. As reported by Automaton, fans grew concerned recently after discovering what appeared to be a major change to an incredibly random piece of Sonic the Hedgehog lore.

Shadow the Hedgehog is one of the most iconic characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He was introduced in Sonic Adventure 2 (2001) as an “anti-hero” counterpart to Sonic, created by Dr. Gerald Robotnik, the grandfather of Jim Carrey 's character.

Since Shadow was introduced in Sonic Adventure 2 in 2001, his edginess has been on display in this franchise, especially after his game was released. Shadow has often been a controversial character in the eyes of gamers, with some finding his creation a little cringy and desperate in a bid to keep the franchise relevant.
