Chao (Sonic)
Chao (; (日本語:チャオ)) are fictional life forms in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' video game series published by Sega. They are small, childlike creatures that go through a complex life cycle and exist in several visual forms depending on how they are raised. Developer Sonic Team incorporated Chao into the games to force players to explore levels and artistically support the good–evil dichotomy of ''Sonic Adventure 2''.
Chao have appeared in many games in the series, beginning with ''Sonic Adventure'' in 1998. They usually take the form of digital pets, but have also played parts in the story and figured into other gameplay elements. Most notably, the character Cream the Rabbit has a Chao named Cheese, whom she uses to attack enemies. They have also appeared in games outside the series, the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' comics, and the ''Sonic X'' anime, as well as being featured in promotions and merchandise. Critics have given mixed opinions on Chao and their integration into ''Sonic'' gameplay, generally praising their worth as a diversion but criticizing Chao minigames' low interactivity.
==Conception and characteristics==
Sonic Team's Takashi Iizuka stated in an interview with video game publication 1UP.com that Chao were incorporated into ''Sonic Adventure'' "so that new players would be forced to go out, explore the action sections, and find Flickies and things." Chao were designed as a "relative neutral entity" in this game. However, to remain consistent with the good–evil dichotomy of ''Sonic Adventure 2'', they were designed so that the player could raise them as "hero chao" or "Dark Chao". Chao were given the ability to socialize and interact in ''Sonic Adventure 2'' in order to make the game unique, and to more resemble "a real artificial life form."
Chao are small creatures with a pudding-like body and behave much like human infants, with pleasant and relaxing personalities. Professor Chao, a minor character in ''Sonic Adventure 2'', states that Chao are cute, and enjoy toys and being held or petted. However, they dislike being held while the player jumps, spins around, or throws them. Chao's diets consist of tree fruit〔 and coconuts.〔 Chao hatch from eggs found in Chao Gardens. When the player spends enough time with a Chao in the Chao Garden, the Chao develops a cocoon; it hatches from this as an adult. Eventually it develops another cocoon. If the Chao has been treated well, the cocoon is pink and the Chao is reincarnated as an egg; the cycle then restarts and the Chao remembers the player. If, however, the Chao has been treated poorly, the cocoon is gray and the Chao dies, removing every trace of itself from the game.〔 Chao can breed to produce fertile eggs.
