However, despite his immaturity, he's every bit as clever as he claims to be, able to create almost anything for his goals, and possesses quite a bit of cunning and planning to carry them out. If there's one thing that stands out about the doctor, however, it's his ego, which may only be rivaled by his long-time nemesis, Sonic the Hedgehog." data-video-title="Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik " data-video-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/qvbr/ctjx4z_640x360p_qvbr.mp4" data-mpd-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/dash/ctjx4z.mpd" data-hls-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/hls/ctjx4z.m3u8" data-video-thumbnail="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/ctjx4z.jpg" data-video-trope="Main/BigBad" data-video-tropename="Big Bad" data-video-approval="APPROVED" data-video-troper-rating="" data-video-average-rating="" data-video-rating-count="" data-video-media-sources="VideoGame/SonicColors" class="video-launch-link video-overlay-link video-background-image lazy-image" data-src="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/ctjx4z.jpg"> <p><span class="bold">Dr. Ivo "Eggman...</span></p> </a> <a href="#video-link" data-video-id="c6qn1c" data-video-descrip="When Robotnik meets with the military, he wastes no time in showing everyone how insufferably vain and abrasive he is." data-video-title="Enter Robotnik" data-video-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/qvbr/c6qn1c_640x360p_qvbr.mp4" data-mpd-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/dash/c6qn1c.mpd" data-hls-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/hls/c6qn1c.m3u8" data-video-thumbnail="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/c6qn1c.jpg" data-video-trope="Main/EstablishingCharacterMoment" data-video-tropename="Establishing Character Moment" data-video-approval="APPROVED" data-video-troper-rating="" data-video-average-rating="" data-video-rating-count="" data-video-media-sources="Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020,Main/BigBad,Main/InsufferableGenius,Main/RapidFireInterrupting,Main/ZeroPercentApprovalRating" class="video-launch-link video-overlay-link video-background-image lazy-image" data-src="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/c6qn1c.jpg"> <p><span class="bold">Enter Robotnik</span></p> </a> <a href="#video-link" data-video-id="xmmnou" data-video-descrip="Red was a former Dragon Elder that betrayed his kind with the intent of world conquest." data-video-title="Red" data-video-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/qvbr/xmmnou_640x360p_qvbr.mp4" data-mpd-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/dash/xmmnou.mpd" data-hls-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/hls/xmmnou.m3u8" data-video-thumbnail="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/xmmnou.jpg" data-video-trope="Main/BigBad" data-video-tropename="Big Bad" data-video-approval="APPROVED" data-video-troper-rating="" data-video-average-rating="" data-video-rating-count="" data-video-media-sources="VideoGame/SpyroAHerosTail" class="video-launch-link video-overlay-link video-background-image lazy-image" data-src="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/xmmnou.jpg"> <p><span class="bold">Red</span></p> </a> <a href="#video-link" data-video-id="lcok6u" data-video-descrip="The King of the Apes and Malefor's &quot;right hand man&quot;, and the final boss of the second The Legend of Spyro game." data-video-title="Gaul" data-video-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/qvbr/lcok6u_640x360p_qvbr.mp4" data-mpd-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/dash/lcok6u.mpd" data-hls-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/hls/lcok6u.m3u8" data-video-thumbnail="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/lcok6u.jpg" data-video-trope="Main/BigBad" data-video-tropename="Big Bad" data-video-approval="APPROVED" data-video-troper-rating="" data-video-average-rating="" data-video-rating-count="" data-video-media-sources="VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyroTheEternalNight,VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro" class="video-launch-link video-overlay-link video-background-image lazy-image" data-src="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/lcok6u.jpg"> <p><span class="bold">Gaul</span></p> </a> <a href="#video-link" data-video-id="zwym04" data-video-descrip="Cynder was an egg procured by Malefor, becoming his enforcer and the final boss in the first The Legend of Spyro game.
