Snively is the secondary antagonist of the animated series Sonic the Hedgehog, more commonly known as SatAM. He is Dr. Robotnik's nephew and right-hand man, assisting him in his plans to crush resistance to his tyrannical rule over planet Mobius. In truth, however, Snively despises his master and wishes he could be free of him.
He was voiced by Charlie Adler, who also voiced Gazeem in Disney's Aladdin, Starscream in Transformers Cinematic Universe, Hamilton in Disney's Tarzan, Buck Huckster in Danger Rangers, Panza in the 1996 animated film version of The Prince and the Pauper, Ignus in Planescape Torment and Red Guy in Cow & Chicken.
Biography[]
Past[]
Snively and his uncle Julian once served Acorn, king of Mobotropolis, and helped him win the Great War with their technology. After the end of the Great War, Snively plotted against the king with his uncle Julian in a plot to seize the throne and assisted him in taking over Mobotropolis. While Snively was under the impression that he would rule the planet alongside his uncle, he was soon reduced to a lackey and servant by Julian shortly before his takeover of Mobius.
In an alternate timeline created when Sonic and Sally travel back to the past to prevent Julian's coup, but failed, Sonic rushed past Snively and caused him to lose most of his hair due to the suction from his speed, leaving only a few strands. This left Snively with personal reasons for loathing the hedgehog.
Sonic the Hedgehog[]
After his uncle's successful takeover, Snively served over the next 10 years as the underling and assistant to Julian, now having renamed himself Robotnik. While he was just as active in planning and machine-building as his uncle, Snively was constantly ridiculed by Robotnik, being abused both physically and psychologically, leaving him in a miserable existence. Because of all the abuse he endured from his uncle, Snively came to despise Robotnik and began to secretly plan against him to seize his empire for his own. During the completion of the Doomsday Project, Snively tried to correct Robotnik into vanquishing Sonic, but was denied. When Sonic and Sally used the Deep Power Stones to demolish the Doomsday Project, the destruction forced Robotnik and Snively to escape. When Robotnik refused to let Snively into his escape hovercraft, he instead escaped into an elevator. Later, Snively arose from the wreckage, glad that his uncle was finally defeated (with his hovercraft never made the escape), before moving to take his place and battle the Freedom Fighters himself, with the help of the evil sorcerer Nagus.

Trivia[]
- Plans for the unproduced Season 3 had Snively starting off as the main antagonist. Snively intended to rebuild and conquer Robotropolis, but failed. As previously stated, as a result, Snively manages to free Naugus from the Void, and in the process, accidentally freed Robotnik and King Acorn as well. Enlisting Naugus' help in taking over, Naugus would eventually overthrow Snively, and claim the role of the main antagonist. With Robotnik and the King now forced to be Naugus' puppets, Snively would be reduced to not only an even more pathetic lackey than before, but now an insignificant nobody. Having a change of heart, Snively would have defected from the Robotnik Empire, and would join the Freedom Fighters, in order to bring Naugus down in revenge. However, despite this alliance, Snively would still scheme ways to destroy his former enemies behind their backs, unknown to anyone but Antoine, who would eventually stop him. Having expected as much from Snively, he would be excommunicated by the Fighters, leaving him alone. After Naugus' defeat, Snively and Dr. Robotnik would likely reconcile and continue to scheme against Sonic and his crew.
- Although Snively is Robotnik's nephew, this fact rarely comes up in the show itself, with the two treating each other as associates rather than family. Some continuities don't mention any biological relation between the two at all.
