You may be looking for Werehog (Another Time, Another Place) from the Another Time, Another Place Zone.

The Werehog is a bestial form that Sonic the Hedgehog transformed into. Sonic gained this ability after accidentally inhaling the purple gas that rose from the cracks in the Earth created by the earthquakes that proceeded The Shattered World Crisis.

History

Early signs of mutation

During a mission to regather the Knothole Freedom Fighters, Sonic and Tails came to the Wood Zone where Uncle Chuck was in the middle of researching the earthquakes that had recently began occurring across the planet. After showing his nephew samples of a purple gas that had been emitted from the cracks in the earth, another earthquake struck and Sonic had to rescue his uncle from falling into a opened crater. As he dashed back down to retrieve the gas sample, a stray piece of debris smashed a part of the container open, giving Sonic a face full of purple gas. Upon returning to the surface, Sonic briefly displayed feral characteristics, which immediately passed, brushing off his uncle's suggestion of being checked over by a doctor. (StH: #254)

After the Shattered World Crisis had begun, Sonic continued to show brief moments of feral behaviour: during the Knothole Freedom Fighters rescue efforts in Station Square, and again during his battle against E-107 Eta aboard the Egg Train. Uncle Chuck became increasingly concerned for his nephew, after determining through his and Professor Pickle's experiments that the purple gas exhibited mutagenic properties. (StH: #257, #259)
