Meropis



Meropis is an underwater city on the planet Mobius first discovered by the Knothole Freedom Fighters during The Shattered World Crisis. Ruled over by King Puff and Queen Angelica, it was also protected by the Meropis City Guard, whose leadership included Captain Striker the Mantis Shrimp. The apparent capital of the Great Blue Realm, the city is under constant threat from Egg Boss Akhlut of Dr. Eggman's Egg Army. It is also adjacent to the Eusebes Shrine, which is centered in a Chao Garden and serves to help Chao reincarnate as well as providing a protective shield around the city that is maintained by the shrine's priestess.

Background Information

 * Meropis is the first instance of an actual community of any kind in Mobius' oceans in the comics. It's inhabitants are also the first case of ocean-dwelling Mobians anthropomorphized to the point of being humanoid; previously, aquatic Mobians have typically resembled their Earth counterparts but possessed the power of speech.
