Flappers (also referred to as Egg Flappers) are some of Dr. Eggman's robots, introduced alongside Egg Pawns in Sonic Heroes. They are usually weak aerial sentry drones that only get in the way, but different colors exist with weaponry such as machine guns, lasers, or bombs. They resemble Egg Pawns, but can fly via airplane-like attachments. They are fairly uncommon in their home series, with their role typically going to Spinners, which predate them. They cross over with the Super Mario franchise in the Mario & Sonic games, where they usually appear as enemies in various Events.
