The Flapper is a line of Badnik created by Dr. Eggman to serve as flying robot forces in his efforts to conquer the world.
Overview[]
A Flapper spies on Sonic.
Flappers are aerial units which - like many of Eggman's machines - are based on the doctor's own likeness. Their bodies look very similar to Egg Pawns, though these robots do not have arms or legs. They fly via jet packs on their backs and maneuver with their short, stubby wings. They come in several variants which can be identified by whatever weapon they carry on their undercarriage.
The standard Flapper - which has no armament - acts as a simple surveillance drone. With its enhanced optics, it can keep watch over large areas or observe specific targets at a distance.
Personality[]
Basically, Flappers are silent drones programmed to follow every of their leader's commands without questions. As such, when the leader is missing, they become directionless and only able to cause harm by accident.
