Sonichu (species)

Soap:

'''Sonichu''' is the name used for male specimens of [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]].

By having an entire species have the same name as a [[Sonichu (character)|"unique" being]] and giving all of its members the same surname, Chris has only served to confound his readers, [[Jamsta Sonichu|mess up continuity]], and demonstrate that he's a lazy and unimaginative bastard.
== Appearance ==

Sonichus generally resemble [[Sonic|bipedal hedgehogs]] in appearance, standing around four and a half feet tall, with thick hides and large spikes (which are flexible so they can give hugs to each other without causing injury)<ref>[http://archive.cogsdev.org/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_8/Page_36]</ref>, though they have [[Pikachu|elongated ears and (generally) tails shaped like cartoonish lightning bolts]]. While the hands are completely articulated with five fingers and opposable thumbs, the feet of a sonichu are just round stumps. They are seldom seen without a pair of white gloves and shoes (of varying colors), even if they are completely nude otherwise. The shoes may be a necessity, as the nature of bare Sonichu feet may make it impossible for a Sonichu to stand without them.

While a typical sonichu has [[Pikachu|yellow fur, brown stripes, and red spots on their cheekbones]] (if we are to assume that the [[Sonichu (character)|original Sonichu]] is the template), Sonichus can come in a variety of recolors. Sometimes, a Sonichu displays other variations, such as [[Magi-chan|altered ear tips]], [[Punchy|slanted eyes]], or a [[Wild|different tail altogether]]. The fur color of a Sonichu is susceptible to alteration by chemicals such as [[Blake|Cherry Cola]].

== Behavior ==

Though clearly not very intelligent, Sonichus are sapient and are capable of many of the same skills as humans: [[Pocket knife|Tool usage]], [[Speech impediment|speech]] and [[Autism|social interaction]]. In their [[CWCville|natural habitat]], Sonichus fill a number of societal roles: [[Chaotic Combo|vigilante groups]], [[Jamsta|radio announcers]], and [[Simonla|construction]] [[Sandy|workers]], using whatever supernatural abilities granted to them.

Sonichus are [[Love Quest|constantly searching for a mate]], and perhaps with some [[Dating education|assistance]] will "fall in love" (read: settle for in order to have sex with) with the first Rosechu they see ([[Magi-Chan|assuming they are heterosexual]]). The ensuing pair, without exception, will enter into a courtship in poor imitation of humans. However, unlike humans, Sonichu-Rosechu mates [[Chris and writing|completely lack tension or discord]], suggesting that the lifelong bond is purely out of instinct to guarantee that any resulting spawn gets care from two parents (though not guaranteed to be good or even adequate care). Considering the [[Sonee and Rosey|extremely low capabilities of said spawn]], this may be a necessity.

==Sonichus and reproduction==

A Sonichu's [[penis]] and testicles reside entirely within its abdominal cavity. While the testicles are permanently contained behind a "bone-like structure" for protection, the [[pickle|penis]] can emerge for urination or intercourse when the Sonichu leans forward, causing the erect penis to "slide out" purely by gravitational force.<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=File:SchuComic8P103.jpg]</ref> This system displays a clear lack of knowledge of biology, as the reason that the testicles are outside the body is because the body's core temperature is not ideal for sperm production, thus, unless Sonichu sperm is much more heat resistant than normal mammalian sperm, Sonichus should be sterile. ([[Sonichu and Rosechu's Children|Unfortunately, they are not.]]). In addition, Chris never explains if the penis always slides out when the Sonichu leans over (although it obviously isn't the case), and he never mentions conscious control over the action. All of this goes to show that [[Honor roll|people who have no knowledge of biology]] should not set out to create detailed organ systems for their fictional creatures.

Sonichus' sperm count is extremely low when compared to humans. The number of sperm cells released by a Sonichu per ejaculation stands at a couple of thousands at most and can be as low as mere hundreds. <ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=File:SchuComic8P105.jpg]</ref> In comparison, human sperm count must be at least over 15 million sperm cells per milliliter in order to be considered healthy. <ref>[http://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/topics/infertility/cooper_et_al_hru.pdf World Health Organization reference values for human semen characteristics]</ref> It should also be noted that the volume of [[semen]] ejaculated by a Sonichu is also much higher than the amount of the average human male. Whereas human males will ejaculate on average about 0.1 to 10 milliliters of semen,<ref>Rehan N, Sobrero AJ, Fertig JW. (1975). "The semen of fertile men: statistical analysis of 1300 men". Fertility and Sterility 26 (6): 492–502.</ref> Sonichus' ejaculate numbers 100 - 500 milliliters <ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=File:SchuComic8P104.jpg]</ref> on average, more than the amount ejaculated by both horses and elephants. It may be due to the extremely low sperm count that more semen must be ejaculated to create a balance. It can easily be said that [[Recycling]] is unpopular amongst Sonichus, but due to easy access of [[Rosechu_(species)|semen recepticles]] this is not a major issue.

Chris has mentioned that a [[Sonee]] is born as the result of intercourse between a Sonichu and a Rosechu, or some combination of the above and a [[Wikipedia:Ditto (Pokémon)|Ditto]] [[Pokémon]]<ref name="Sonichu article">[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu Sonichu's [[CWCipedia]] article]</ref>. Presumably a Ditto would assume the form of an opposite-sex [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]].

==Sonichus and evolution==

[[Image:EvolutionChart.png|thumb|Sonichu evolution chart]]

The infant Sonee is first born in egg-form from a Rosechu mother. When the egg hatches, a sonee comes out. This infant [[pokémon]] can already have a certain sub-type; [[Wild]], for instance, was born as a green sonee with a grass subtype. After being nurtured for some time, the sonee then evolves into his sonichu form.

In a strip from [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]] called, an evolution of Sonichu called [[Metonic]] can be seen.<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=File:SchuComic0P28.jpg 25 Years Later]</ref> According to the strip and an ''[[Animal Crossing]]'' card<ref>[[:File:208-CMetonicBck.jpg]]</ref> from the [[scrapbook]], Sonichu evolves into Metonic by being traded while holding a Metal Coat. However, Chris stated that only the original Sonichu can evolve into Metonic.<ref name="mail 10">[[Mailbag 10#God save the queen|Mailbag 10]]</ref><ref name="Sonichu article" /> He also stated that "[T]he [rest of the Sonichus and Rosechus] have no '''current''' evolutions" (emphasis added) <ref name="mail 10" />, leaving it open for him to devise separate evolutions for them in the future.

In [[Sonichu 10#Ultra Sonichu and Collosal Chan|episode 21]], Sonichu transformed into [[Ultra Sonichu]] after being brought into contact with the seven [[Sonichu Balls]], although the change was temporary. As with Metonic, this evolution is exclusive to the original Sonichu.<ref name="Sonichu article" />

Despite all being Electric in their primary type, no sonichu other than the [[Sonichu (character)|original]] and his clone [[Blake]] has demonstrated the use of electric powers. It can be assumed that being of Electric type is only for the purpose of calculating weakness and strength.
