Lyric the Last Ancient

Lyric the Last Ancient is the main antagonist of both Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal. He is a giant and monstrous snake-like creature from the Ancients, whose main goal is to create and strengthen a robot army using power crystals to destroy the world.[1] Before he could carry out his nefarious deed, however, he was imprisoned.[2] Over a millennium later, Lyric was freed and resumed his mission, but met opposition from Sonic the Hedgehog and his crew.[2]
