The Ifrit is the overarching antagonist of Sonic Rivals 2.
He is a fiery demonic monster from another dimension full of fire and ruins, presumed to be the result of destruction caused by the Ifrit. To become invincible, he must eat many Chao.
History[]
Eggman Nega searched for Chaos Emeralds to open the portal to Ifrit's dimension, and Chao to feed to him, intending to awaken and release him so he could destroy the world. However, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, Shadow, Metal Sonic, Silver, and Espio entered the Ifrit's dimension once Eggman Nega opened the portal.
Ifrit possessed Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, or Rouge (depending on who the character plays as, either Sonic or Tails can get possessed and the same goes for Rouge and Knuckles), but the other six were able to defeat the Ifrit, while simultaneously fighting off Metal Sonic 3.0 and the two possessed ones, and in defeat the Ifrit fell onto the ruins and was destroyed in an explosion of fire.
Everyone except Shadow, Metal Sonic, Eggman Nega, and presumably Metal Sonic 3.0 was able to escape through the portal before it closed (due to Shadow and Metal Sonic activating a switch), and Shadow used Chaos Control to escape with Metal Sonic (who had the green Chaos Emerald inside him), leaving Eggman Nega trapped under rubble, unable to escape the Ifrit's dimension.
Power and Abilities[]
The Ifrit holds incredible power, capable of destroying entire worlds. It can fly, unleash fiery blasts, and feeding on minuscule Chao increases it power to such levels that it becomes invincible. Described as capable of binding one's soul, the Ifrit can enslave others with powerful mind control powers.
Trivia[]
- The Ifrit is similar in name and appearance to the creature Iblis. Both are based off the The Devil/Iblis in Islamic culture and both turned Silver's future into a fiery wasteland, forcing him to go back in time to stop them before they succeed in it.
