For the character in Sonic Underground, see Argus (Sonic Underground).

Argus (アーガス, Āgasu^?) is a character mentioned in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Supposedly, it is a being tied to the nature of the Twilight Cage and is its creator.

Description

Not much is known about Argus, except that it is a supposed entity/deity responsible for creation of the Twilight Cage, as well as sealing the Precursors, the Nocturnus Clan, the Zoah, the Kron, the N'rrgal, the Voxai and presumably many other alien races inside its prison dimension. Its name come from a voice that the Echidnas from the Nocturnus Clan heard in their heads after they were torn away from earth, which said something like "Argus".

Trivia

• In Greek mythology, Argus is the name of a hundred-eyed Giant in service to the Goddess Hera. One of Argus's greatest services to the Olympians was slaying the Mother of All Monsters, Echidna, while she slept.
• After Nestor translates the Precursor Tablets you give him, Nestor will refer to the Twilight Cage as "Argus' Cage".
• The last of the tablets that Nestor translates just says "The will of Argus, must escape Argus".
• In the cancelled sequel to Sonic Chronicles, Argus would play a much larger role than in the regular game, with it being revealed that its motivation for sealing the many powerful races in the Twilight Cage was fear caused by the prophecy from an Oracle God, that one day it would be slain by a mortal, which lead to it traveling the universe in search of races that might prove to be threats to it in the future, however, it would be revealed that the oracle's prophecy was actually a lie, meant to trick Argus into amassing a large force of powerful beings who would destroy him once the Twilight Cage was opened, as when Argus stormed into the Sonic's universe after the escapees from its prison realm, he would be faced with Super Sonic, whom would weaken Argus' defenses and open the Twilight Cage, causing all sealed in races to escape and band together to defeat Argus.
