Chao Garden

A Chao garden is simply a forest area with plenty of water or a small lake, or any place habitable by Chao.

History
In 3237, Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower and Knuckles the Echidna discovered a Chao garden full of Chao and each befriended one that began to mimic their abilities. However, their fun ended quickly when Dr. Eggman had detected the energy coming from the garden and went to investigate. At first suspecting it to be a repository for Power Rings or Chaos Emeralds, he found the garden with Sonic and his friends already there and decided to destroy them all. After the three heroes won the battle, the Chao garden was destroyed. (StH: #173, #174)
