One-Winged Angel: After losing to Boyfriend again in "You Can't Run", he transforms into his true form during "Triple Trouble", where he's much bigger, more intimidating, and also far harder to beat than in the previous songs.Notably, his quills start fading into a bright purple at the tips, his proportions begin to elongate, and the skin around his mouth begins tearing open to accommodate his larger set of teeth. Glamour Failure: While he starts out looking mostly identical to Sonic, minus the different "creative liberties" he takes with the guise, Xenophanes begins to let elements of his true form slip in "You Can't Run".Downplayed as Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik aren't the average mooks. Flunky Boss: "Triple Trouble" is this, as most of the song is against his minions with Xenophanes appearing in between them.It only becomes even deeper in the voice lines during You Cant Run Encore. Evil Sounds Deep: His voice is an echoing baritone that only helps in making him more intimidating.He also lets loose a decidedly different laugh in "Too Slow" after declaring himself God.He reuses his " Kefka laugh" to signal the Song Style Shift at the 1/3 mark of "Too Slow", as well as at the end of a few of his turns in "You Can't Run".Evil Is Bigger: In Triple Trouble, he is far bigger than Boyfriend, even though the latter is far closer to the camera than him.Creepy Souvenir: In the unused song "Slaybells", he wears Tails' namesake around his neck like a scarf.Sonic.exe overall is a mix of the original character from the 2012 fangame, and the newly created Xenophanes from the upcoming reboot, starting out as the recognizable, bleeding .exe design and slowly transforming into his crystallized Xeno design as the mod goes on.The hands within his mouth likely reference the 2017 remake, where X is described as having shadowy arms emerge from his mouth that he uses to steal his victims souls. The purple tongues he shows off in Too Slow could be a nod to the tentacle-like things hes described with in Sally.exe, a fan-made sequel to the original story.Composite Character: Sonic.exe's depiction in the mod seems to take a few cues from multiple versions of the character, fanmade and official.When he moves, his joints seem to have multiple possible bending points, alongside bending at angles far too harsh to look comfortable. In "Triple Trouble", his skeleton looks like it's outgrowing the skin, with his eyelids stretching past his eye sockets, and his Slasher Smile being so wide that it exposes his jawbone.A few of his animations in "You Can't Run" show the flesh inside of his mouth as horrifically torn up.As the hands' positions change, it almost gives the impression that something's trying to climb out of his mouth. He has an additional pair of hands inside his body, as seen in his right and down poses, as well as the ending cutscene.His appearances in the 3.0 build, bar "Triple Trouble", have also been redrawn, alongside getting visibly angry after the 16-bit segment of "You Can't Run." Art Evolution: Sonic.exe had a few visual upgrades in 2.0 and it applies in each of his songs as the main story progresses, his artwork becomes more detailed and unsettling to watch.Always a Bigger Fish: The all powerful nigh-reality warper is easily held off by a 19-year old demon girl.Alien Blood: As Xenophanes, the blood coming from his eyes becomes a darker shade of pink matching his crystalline quills as opposed to the blood-red that stains his hands.He also wouldve let one out after his first verse in Triple Trouble Encore without the sinister laughter afterwards with considerably more vitriol towards BF. In this case, the quote is said in a very deep and menacing voice rather than simply being text on screen, and it is followed by a particularly eerie laugh. A God Am I: Just as in the original Sonic.exe story, Xeno claims to be God in order to taunt his opponent in the middle of both versions of Too Slow.Justified in that his only opponents in the original stories were humans, while Girlfriend is a demon who (according to Word of God) has the power to wipe out an entire army. Adaptational Wimp: While the original Sonic.exe was an outright Reality Warper with nigh-omnipotence in his home dimension, here despite his claims to godhood, he gets easily trumped by Girlfriend's demonic powers.This time, he's a lot more fearsome with his new revisions. The one-and-only titular demon who takes the form of a bloody-eyed version of everyone's lovable hedgehog. TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH BECAUSE YOUR SOUL IS MINE.
