Shadow the Hedgehog is one of the most iconic characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He was introduced in Sonic Adventure 2 (2001) as an “anti-hero” counterpart to Sonic, created by Dr. Gerald Robotnik, the grandfather of Jim Carrey 's character.

Despite being the face of a Hollywood film franchise and the star of a three decade old video game franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog is still homeless. As reported by Automaton, fans grew concerned recently after discovering what appeared to be a major change to an incredibly random piece of Sonic the Hedgehog lore.

Did you know Sonic the Hedgehog was homeless? I'll be honest, I'd never really given it much thought until today. Where do the characters in video games go when I turn the game off? I don't know, I don't really care.

An entry in Sonic's new annual had fans worried the hedgehog isn't homeless anymore but don't worry, he's still a drifter.
