Badnik

From Sonic - Wiki on Neoseeker

Badnik was a term used to describe an enemy robot from the Sonic games on Genesis. Inside each badnik is a helpless animal, which hops out when Sonic destroys the robot's shell. As a general rule, Sonic gains 100 points from destroying a badnik, which doubles for each consecutive badnik he breaks open.

The term was dropped after Sonic Adventure's release, due to the fact Dr. Eggman had started using the E series of robots.

Two badniks appear in the Sonic cartoon, known as Scratch and Grounder. Grounder appears to be a badnik from Sonic 2's Aquatic Ruin Zone or Sonic 1's Labyrinth, where Scratch is based upon the chicken badniks on Wing Fortress.
