SEGA releases new Sonic Boom behind-the-scenes video and reveals non-player characters

No doubt in anticipation of San Diego Comic Con, SEGA has released a new behind-the-scenes video for Sonic Boom the TV series as well as a SEGA Blog post revealing the characters that will populate the video game and TV show universe. The new characters, seen after the break, will serve as NPCs for the games and supporting cast members for the TV show, although not all characters will make the jump from video games to television.

Expect to see a farmer turtle named Old Tucker, a farmhand named Hayward, a construction foreman named Fred, a doctor named Doc Ginger (who appears to be a dog), an old army leader named Cliff, and a French master chef named Chef Woody in the Wii U’s Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. A pair of hippo brothers named Salty and Pepper (who remind me of the bear brothers Griz and Mike from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog) a fussy beaver named Fastidious Beaver, a mouse politician named Mayor Fink, and Perci, a female hedgehog (I’m guessing on the hedgehog part), will appear in the TV show as well as Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. Q-N-C, a robot built by Lyric who has since gone rogue (shades of E-102?), will appear in both versions of the game. The weirdest characters of the bunch are a pair of elderly jellyfish named Hokey and Pokey who live in robot bodies, and will be seen in Rise of Lyric.
