TIKALS EGG

Apparently, Echidnas lay eggs.

They are among the few mammals that lay eggs. Well, one of TWO main mammals in the WORLD that lay eggs. So they're pretty special. I wonder why the creators at Sega decided an Echidna would be a good idea--not like they're bad or anything, but really? WTF? The echidnas look nothing like IRL echidnas anyway.

So here's Tikal with an egg (relative to her size, I guess). Sonic's freaking out and Knuckles is just like, "Dude, STFU." xD

Baby echidnas are called Puggles. 8D
