At the time Tanahashi was ordered the design, there were firm concepts of 'ferocious' and 'werewolf' to base the Werehog on, and it was a trial-and-error process how to superimpose them on Sonic.

The Werehog was designed and modeled by the lead character designer and artist for Sonic Unleashed, Shinkichi Tanahashi. Originally, the Werehog was called 'Evil Sonic' within the development team due to his uneven, rough-like appearance, but because the word 'evil' has connotations of a villainous character in Western countries, Sega of America suggested the name 'Werehog.' Despite this, he is still called Evil Sonic in the final game's files. 3.4.3 Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic GamesĮarly concept artwork of Sonic the Werehog, tentatively named 'Beast Sonic' ( 獣ソニック, Kemono Sonikku ?).3.4.2 Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.3.4.1 Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.3.3 Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.Even when Sonic turns into this form, though, his heart is (almost ) no different than usual. He also gains a bit more feral and bestial behavior as a Werehog, including a slightly deeper, growly voice, a tendency to roar and howl, occasional quadrupedal movement patterns, and a shorter temper. In this form, Sonic loses his speed in exchange for incredible strength and stretchable arms. After using it on a number of occasions, Sonic lost this form permanently when Dark Gaia reclaimed the energy that caused the transformation. A bestial, werewolf-like form of Sonic the Hedgehog, this extreme physical transformation was created when Sonic accidentally absorbed a dose of Dark Gaia's energy, although the transformation itself would only be triggered by nighttime and remain active until daytime. Sonic the Werehog ( ソニック・ザ・ウェアホッグ, Sonikku za Weahoggu ?), also known as simply the Werehog ( ウェアホッグ, Weahoggu ?) for short, is a transformation that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. So when the sun goes down, I turn into.this?
