How The Knuckles Show’s Pachacamac Is Different From The Games
Pachacamac Was An Ancient Villain In The Original Games
In theSonic the Hedgehoggames , Pachacamac was established as a long - idle Echidna villainand aggressive vanquisher . In the game continuity , Pachacamac was the chief of the Knuckles Clan roughly 3,000 years before the primary series . Pachacamac ’s life and actions mould much of the backstory forSonic Adventure . Driven by ambition , Pachacamac led the Echidnas into several dispute and warfare . However , part of his conquest take him to the Altar of Emerald , where he signify to take the Chaos Emeralds . Doing so unleashed the powerful entity experience as Chaos . The entity killed the chieftain and nearly wiped out the Echidnas .

Long numb by the effect ofSonic Adventure , Pachacamac ’s arrogance and fierce nature result in Knuckles being one of the last of his variety and set the stagecoach for Chaos to become a terror hundred later . The Pachacamac of theKnucklesshow is a far - gentle heroic character .

Who Plays Pachacamac In Knuckles
Pachacamac Is Played By Christopher Lloyd
While he was still a warrior who campaign against nominally heroic characters like Longclaw , the newPachacamac is shown to be an honorable ( and goofy ) figure . He has a substantial relationship with Knuckles that transcends life and expiry . This is a far cry from the incompatible kinship he developed with Tikal inSonic Adventure . The show reinforces that the Knuckles Tribe , include Pachacamac , were committed to protecting the Master Emerald instead of taking it for themselves . This more desperate approach to the character go well into the swooning smell ofKnucklesand makes it an idealistic role for Christopher Lloyd .
