UniverseSonic UnleashedDr. Eggman
Bristling with a giant drill and a six-barrel cannon, the Egg Dragoon is the dragon-shaped mech that Dr. Eggman pilots from his Egg Mobile, embedded in its torso. Introduced at Eggmanland in Sonic Unleashed (2008), the beast serves there as the penultimate boss, fought by Sonic in his Werehog form, the final battle going to Perfect Dark Gaia. Its arsenal mixes ice attacks, electric discharge and homing missiles. Too memorable for a single game, it returns in Sonic Generations (2011) as the emblem of the modern era, where Sonic faces it without the Werehog.

The Egg Dragoon makes its first appearance in Sonic Unleashed (2008), in Eggmanland. It is the penultimate boss of the game, faced by Sonic in his Werehog form. Beware: it is not the final boss — that remains the terrible Perfect Dark Gaia, later fought as Super Sonic.
🐺 The beastly form that confronts it has its own file: (re)discover Sonic the Werehog.
🌑 And the true final boss of the game is him: (re)read Dark Gaia.
Drill, Ice, and Cannons
The Egg Dragoon is heavily armed: a gigantic drill on its left arm, a six-barreled cannon on its right arm firing energy blasts, but also ice attacks, an electric attack, and homing missiles. Enough to give a tough fight.
(Not to be confused with the Death Egg Robot: these are two different mechs.)

The Return in Sonic Generations
Too iconic for just one game, the Egg Dragoon returns in Sonic Generations (2011), where it serves as a boss representing the "modern" era (that of Sonic Unleashed). This time, Sonic himself — and not the Werehog, absent from this game — confronts it.
