The Nerb King is a Nerb and the rightful ruler of the Nerb Kingdom. During the First Robotnik War, he and his kingdom were saved by the Knothole Freedom Fighters. However, he since gone missing following the start of the Second Robotnik War, and is sought after by the Nerb Freedom Fighters.
History[]
Dr. Ivo Robotnik's Tyranny[]
Like their predecessors, the Nerb King and his subjects willfully isolated themselves from the rest of Mobius, wanting nothing to do with outsiders in order to avoid trouble. Eventually though, the air vents and water supply in the Nerb King's domain were threatened by the reckless digging operations of someone. When the Knothole Freedom Fighters then arrived in Nerberhood, the Nerb King ended up wrongfully accusing the group of being responsible for the disturbances to their way of life. Though Sonic explained that Robotnik was behind the disturbances, the Nerb King rebuked his attempt to rally them into fighting for their cause and told the group to leave. After Sonic saved the Nerberhood from Robotnik though, the Nerb King was convinced of his errors, and so made the Knothole Freedom Fighters honorary Nerbs in recognition of their newfound friendship.

The Dark Egg Legion and King Scourge[]
When the majority of the Nerbs sided with the Eggman Empire during the Second Robotnik War, the Nerb King himself disappeared. However, the Nerb Freedom Fighters would search diligently for him while fighting the Nerb Dark Egg Legion. (CSE)
Appearance[]
Like most other Nerbs, the Nerb King is a diminutive mobian with a humanoid physique, four-fingered hands, green skin, a large nose, buck teeth, and poor eyesight. He also has a green beard. For attire, he wears glasses, a golden crown, and a red and white robe.
Personality[]
A typical Nerb, the Nerb King is rather unfriendly and antisocial towards all non-Nerb mobians, believing that mixing with outsiders will only lead to trouble and athlete's foot. As such, he was strictly opposed to the idea of associating himself with outsiders. After the Knothole Freedom Fighters saved Nerberhood though, he seemingly changed his mind and found room in his heart for friendship between him and the Freedom Fighters. (StH: #10)
Abilities[]
As the ruler of the Nerb Kingdom, the Nerb King presumably possesses a degree of leadership skills.
Background Information[]
