Dingo
From Mobius Encyclopaedia
- You may be looking for the bounty hunter from the Sonic Underground universe: Dingo
Dingoes were the second main population on Angel Island, after the Echidnas. They are a militant race, generally feeling outright racism and xenophobia towards the Echidnas. Under the rule of General Von Stryker the Dingoes managed to barely coexist with their Echidna neighbours, though eventually revolted. Under the recent rule of his son, Kage Von Stryker, the Dingoes alligned with the Eggman Empire. After performing mass genocide against the Echidnas, killing thousands in prison and concentration camps and reducing their population to ten percent, the Dingo Regime was obliterated by the new Enerjak, its survivors banished to the Sandopolis Zone of Angel Island.

[edit] History
[edit] Conflict with the Echidnas
Roughly two centuries ago, the Dingoes attempted to wipe out the Echidnas and their city of Echidnaopolis by using nuclear warheads stolen from storage depots. Although the missiles were successfully launched, the current Guardian at the time, Hawking, using abandoned echidna technology, brought up a dome shield over the city, which destroyed the warheads. Unfortunately, the mass radiation from the weapons began to spread across Angel Island. To ensure the population of Angel Island was safe from the radioactive waste, Hawking transported Echidnaopolis and its population to one zone, and the Dingoes and their city, as well as the other inhabitants of the island, to their own pocket zones with the Hyper-wave Projector. (KtE: #5)
The Dingoes remained in their zone as the Echidnas did in theirs for hundreds of years, while Hawking cleaned up the Island, until Dr. Ivo Robotnik fired the Ultimate Annihilator, which distorted the zones and caused both the Echidnas and Dingoes to be transported back into the prime zone. The results of the Ultimate Annihilator on the zones proved to be more beneficial to the Echidnas, restoring their city of Echidnaopolis to the prime zone, while leaving the Dingoes' city in their former zone. This initially posed problems between the Dingoes and Echidnas once again, as General Von Stryker and his followers took hostages, including Lara-Le, in order to have their demands met. Von Stryker was subdued shortly after by Knuckles the Echidna and the Echidna Security Team. (StH: #50, KtE: #5, #6)
[edit] Temporary Alliance and Revolt
When Dimitri the Echidna returned to Mobius as Enerjak and began his invasion of Echidnaopolis, the Dingoes, lead by General Von Stryker, assisted the Echidna Security Team's defence of the city against him and the Dark Legion. Their efforts against the nearly omnipotent being proved useless, although Enerjak was quickly defeated by Mammoth Mogul who stole his Chaos powers for himself. However, he too was quickly defeated, by the trio Super Sonic, Turbo Tails and Hyper Knuckles. (StH: #56, KtE: #7, #8, #9)
The Dingoes, now forced to live in Echidnaopolis with the Echidnas, felt they were being treated like second-class citizens. The Echidna Council attempted to aid the Dingoes by constructing shelters and housing for them, but the process was far too slow for the Dingoes, who decided to protest against the Council. During their protest however, the entire city was transported to the Twilight Zone when the Dark Legion fired their Quantum Beam. (SSS: #14)
The effects were later reversed by Chaos Knuckles, bringing the Dingoes and the Echidnas back to Echidnaopolis. (StH: #107)
[edit] Enforcers of Eggman
After the fight against the Xorda, when Sonic the Hedgehog disappeared and was presumed to have perished, Dr. Eggman offered the Dingoes a deal they couldn't refuse. In exchange for technological support and aid from the Eggman Empire, the Dingoes would act as Eggman's enforcers on Angel Island. After ousting his father as leader of the Dingoes, Kage Von Stryker accepted the deal. With their new-found resources and technology, coupled with the disappearance of the entire Brotherhood of Guardians (except for Knuckles and Locke), the Dingoes were able to overpower the Echidnas and install a fascist regime, oppressing the Echidnas and forcing them into slavery and concentration camps. (StH: #138, #181)
With the assistance of the recently-returned Sonic, Knuckles, the Chaotix and the Dark Legion successfully liberated one of the concentration camps, as well as freed Locke from Dingo captivity. Additionally, the safety of the Master Emerald remained intact, and its location moved. However, the Dingos remained a threat for some time, and with the Dark Legion eventually caught up in its own civil war, they were able to repeatedly attack the remaining Echidna population (now only 10% of its former size) and reduce the recently-restored Echidnaopolis to a primitive collection of huts and houses, open to attack. (StH: #139, #140, #141, #171)
[edit] Banishment
Initially, the Destructix at Dr. Finitevus' command beat back repeated Dingo incursions, they eventually began planning a massive attack to overwhelm the Destructix and wipe out the few remaining Echidnas. Fortunatly, this plan never reached fruition, as Finitevus was successful in creating a new Enerjak (from Knuckles), and direct him to attack the assembled Dingo population at their city of Cavem Canus (the former site of Echidnaopolis). Enerjak promptly stripped the Dingos of their weapons, technology, and their pride, and condemned them to wander the desert region of Sandopolis and killed the Dingo leader, Kage Von Stryker, by disintregating him. This brought the Dingo Regime's hold on Angel Island to a crashing end forever. (StH: #171, #180, #181)
[edit] Culture
The Dingo's have always been a xenophobic and warlike people. It was said by Guardian Hawking that the Dingoes were able to reproduce technologies obtained from other parties, but were unable to understand them or create new technologies on their own. After returning to the prime zone, the Dingoes continues to exist in a militaristic fashion, almost every Dingo holding a military rank and under the rule of a single leader. It is unknown how their culture will change after their banishment to the Sandopolis Zone on Angel Island. (StH: #181, KtE: #5)
