Yellow Zelkova (イエロー・ゼルコヴァ Ierō Zerukova?) is a major antagonist in Sonic X. He is one of the four Metarex Commanders that serve as Generals of the Metarex army under the leadership of Dark Oak.
Appearance[]
Yellow Zelkova is a bulky Metarex commander with a deep green visor, bulky yellow armor and matching green orbs on his head. His cape which denotes his position as a Commander of the Metarex, is green. Zelkova's height seems to change throughout the anime. At one point, he is about that same size as other Metarex, and would be about twice Sonic the Hedgehog's height. However, in his final fight against Knuckles the Echidna, his foot is large enough to crush Knuckles and hide him from view.
When Zelkova's armor is destroyed, he is revealed to have lime skin, pear-colored hair with yellow horn-like growths and wore an orange long-sleeved shirt with a darker outline along the edge, two yellow strips on each sleeve, and is held by an emerald stone.
Personality[]
Zelkova considers himself the (physically) strongest Metarex commander, and brute force is his answer to everything. He is an outrageous idiot and not the brightest in the bunch, considered an "invalid" by both Dark Oak and his comrades Black Narcissus and Pale Bayleaf. His gullible nature can be seen when he shows his shield pack made by Eggman, as after he finishes bragging about it, he adds "And that's not all! As a bonus, I get this free Eggman temporary tattoo!" (this line is only in the dub, not the original). Unlike most Metarex, he uses no weapons, relying on his fists and head to attack enemies, as well as anything that he can throw at his enemies.
