Villain Overview

Playtime is over, Hedgehog!
~ Zavok confronting Sonic
I will make you regret showing restraint. This moment of compassion will be repaid tenfold in violence and misery.
~ Zavok threatening Sonic for showing mercy
THIS IS YOUR LAST SHOW OF RESISTANCE? THIS IS ALL YOU CAN MUSTER? YOU MAY HAVE DESTROYED MY MEANS OF CREATING MORE METAL VIRUS, BUT I STILL COMMAND THE ZOMBOTS! I WILL HAVE THEM INFECT EVERY INCH OF THE GLOBE! I WILL SEE YOUR PRECIOUS WORLD GROW SICK AND PERISH!
~ Zavok declaring his desire to destroy the world

Zavok a major antagonist in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, serving as one of the two main antagonists (alongside Dr. Eggman) of the 2013 platform game Sonic Lost World, the secondary antagonist of Team Sonic Racing, and a major antagonist in the IDW Sonic the Hedgehog comics.

He is a Zeti who is the leader of his entire race, and the former leader of the Deadly Six. Zavok was taken under Master Zik's wings as the elderly Zeti's last disciple. Under Zik's tutelage, Zavok was taught in martial arts and became quite powerful. Many years ago, Zavok was brought into the Deadly Six when Master Zik formed the group, with Zavok's skills making him well-suited for the position as their leader.

He was voiced by Travis Willingham in Sonic: Lost World and Sonic Forces, and by Patrick Seitz (who also voiced Kunzite in the Viz Dub of Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon Crystal) in Team Sonic Racing onwards in English and by Jōji Nakata in Japanese.

Appearance

Zavok is a Zeti from an unknown habitat, he has a very stocky and muscular physique. His skin is mostly red. His lower torso, horns, head, shoulder spikes, and spiked wristbands are black, while his nails, and ponytail are cyan. He has purple eyes and yellow sclera.

Personality

I admire your tenacity. For what is perseverance, if not a lesser form of ruthlessness?
~ Zavok to Sonic

Zavok is the cruel leader of the Deadly Six. Like all Zetis, Zavok has the power to control machines with his mind but he is more powerful than the rest of the Six. Zavok was malicious, brutal, cunning, sadistic, ruthless, vengeful and intimidating.

As revealed in the game, he is an omnicidal maniac as he wished to destroy an entire world so he and the Six could grow even more powerful. He has an antisocial personality and is very vicious, mocking Sonic over his friend Tails being transformed into a robot. He was vengeful as well destroying an entire world only to spite his captor, Dr. Eggman. Zavok has shown to be very intelligent, able to recognize that Sonic would have been more valuable to him as an ally and attempted to kidnap the hedgehog so they could turn him into a robot. He is manipulative as shown when he tricked Zeena into going after Sonic using compliments and flattery.

He wasn't above using his teammates as tools, at least for his own personal goal as when he sent Zazz to destroy the hedgehog and didn't care if he won or lost as long as he learnt about his enemy and even beats his team. The only person Zavok showed respect towards was Master Zik who had trained him. He can be very insulting as well, calling Dr. Eggman "a fat fool" and when they abducted Tails he was outraged and insulted them (except for Master Zik). He can also be sarcastic at times, when overlooking Dr. Eggman's Badnik factory he mockingly calls him "a mighty conqueror."

Powers and Abilities

  • Super Speed: Zavok can travel at incredible speeds to surprise and strike his enemies.
  • Flight: Zavok can jump into the air and fly through the air despite having no wings or apparent form of propulsion.
  • Skilled Fighter: Zavok is a very skilled fighter, being able to match and even defeat Sonic in single combat.
  • Energy Beams: Zavok can fire a red energy beam from his mouth which is strong enough to send Sonic flying.
  • Pyrokinesis: Zavok is able to shoot large fireballs from both his hands and his mouth.
  • Acrobatics: Zavok is a master acrobat, being able to leap huge distances in one bound.
  • Magnetic Manipulation: Like all Zeti, Zavok can manipulate magnetic fields to suck in and repel metal objects at will and control machinery even formerly organic entities like Zombots.
  • Master Manipulator: Zavok has been shown repeatedly to outwit people more intelligent than him.
  • Full Strength Transformation: Zavok's ultimate ability allows him to grow into a giant and assume a far more powerful state which vastly enhances his strength and durability. This state has been shown to meet Angel Island at eye level.
    • Fireballs: Like in his previous form, Zavok can breath fireballs from his mouth but these are much stronger and larger than before.

Arsenal

  • Fists: Although he has never used any weapons of his own, Zavok is able to overwhelm his enemies with his bare hands.
    • Energy Empowerment: Zavok can channel red energy into his fists to grant him greater strength in battle and unleash much stronger punches.
    • Chaos Emerald Siphon: When Zavok had a Chaos Emerald lodged to his torso via a Chaos Emerald Siphon, it exaggerated his natural abilities and granted him immunity to the Metal Virus.
    • Core Gear: While allied with Dr. Starline, Zavok also received a Core Gear that allowed him to harness Power Cores' energy automatically. However, it was later destroyed.

Quotes

Sonic Lost World

You are quite the mighty conqueror.
~ Zavok sarcastically complimenting Dr. Eggman and also his first words
That's what I like about you, Zazz. Always ready for a fight, even before you know what you're fighting.
~ Zavok to Zazz
Win or lose, I'll learn something about our enemy.
~ Zavok after learning about Sonic from Zazz

Speak for yourself.

Strike, brothers! Make the fool pay for our abuse and enslavement!
~ Zavok as he and the other Zeti betray Dr. Eggman
Please, Master Zik; this is not something you should trouble yourself with. It's beneath you.
~ Zavok to Master Zik
What would you say if I told you we could destroy Eggman's world and use its energy to make ourselves unbelievably powerful?
~ Zavok unveiling his plans
Well what if I told you that you were the only one I trusted to fast enough...smart enough...and pretty enough...to beat the blue nuisance?
~ Zavok fooling Zeena to face Sonic
Your efforts are impressive, little hedgehog. But you are destined to fail, as the fat fool has failed before you.
~ Zavok seen on the screen
Your threats are almost amusing as your mustache. I must commend you on your invention, though. We get stronger and stronger as we leech the life from your dying world.
~ Zavok mocking Dr. Eggman
You incompetent fools! I cannot trust you with the simplest of tasks. All right. We can work this to our advantage.
~ Zavok after discovering Tails
Don't worry, we're actually making him better. He'll be much happier as a robot. (laughs evilly)
~ Zavok revealing his plans for Tails as a robot
One by one, your friends are falling. Soon, you will be all alone. (chuckles evilly)
~ Zavok to Sonic
Your friend has embarrassed me for the last time. YOU will be the instrument of my revenge.
~ Zavok to Tails
Give up now and join your friend.
~ Zavok revealing Tails to Sonic as a robot
I was hoping you'd say that. Destroy Sonic.
~ Zavok after Sonic refuses to serve him
What?!
~ Zavok after discovering Tails is no longer under his control
Let's put an end to this!
~ Zavok before he battles Sonic for the final time
RRGH! THIS IS MY FULL STRENGTH!
~ Zavok unleashing his full power upon Sonic and turn into Giant Zavok
That's the first time... I went full power...
~ Zavok's last words before falling into the lava after Sonic defeats him
This is the end, Sonic.
~ Zavok's first words before banishing Sonic
Foolish hedgehog. Getting out of your chains does not make you free. Now come and face the inevitable.
~ Zavok accidentally freeing Sonic from prison
I can't wait how long you last against this.
~ Zavok before battling Sonic
Impudent runt. I'm going to savour watching you suffer.
~ Zavok taunting Sonic
You're not making this easy, are you? No matter. Crushing you will be all the more satisfying.
~ Zavok's halfway depleted his health
No! How could I lose to the likes of you again?
~ Zavok's last words before fading away

IDW Publishing

I assure you, I am not resting on my laurels, Master. I will see to it we've infected everything from coast to coast by tonight... tomorrow--the world!
~ Zavok's monologue near the end of Issue #25
Where did you go, doctor... He wouldn't be so as to hide in my own castle on Lost Hex. RRRGH! Where is he?! Bring up a list of every location he's held a base! I don't care how remote or obscure!
~ Zavok's breakdown as he struggles to find where Dr. Eggman escaped to
Defeat is only a foundation for revenge.
~ Zavok
No. I will not suffer humiliation from Sonic again! I will never accept defeat! I have lost the Metal Virus and the Zombot horde. I have lost the power of the Chaos Emerald... So I will tear this world asunder with my bare hands!
~ Zavok

Trivia

  • Zavok, along with Zeena, is the only member of the Six whose name is not spoken in the game itself.
    • Although in Sonic Forces, Zavok's name was called out to by Sonic, when he met his replica (alongside replicas of Chaos, Shadow, and Metal Sonic).
  • One of the pronunciation of Zavok's name rhymes with havoc, reflecting his desire to wreak destruction upon all life on Earth. It could also refer to Havok, a physics engine that th Sonic games have been using.
  • According to the American manual of Team Sonic Racing, Zavok is no longer the leader of the Deadly Six however this was later proven false in the IDW comics.
