SEGA took suggestions on the names below, from various SEGA fan sites and developers BioWare, which were open to voting on:

- The Bluchaos
- The Crushers
- The Darknood
- The Dusk
- The Gravitus
- The Guardian
- The Icebo
- The Psykore
- The Zoah

The final tally came to a close tie between The Zoah, The Gravitus and The Dusk. I went with "The Dusk" (the BioWare submitted name, which I didn't know beforehand), but The Zoah it is. Watch for The Zoah to make an appearance in the upcoming Autumn 2008 Nintendo DS release of Sonic Chronicles: Dark Brotherhood (formerly known as "Sonic RPG").

Press release:

IT’S THE ZOAH

Sonic Chronicles Competition Winner Announced

LONDON (18th March, 2008) - SEGA Europe Ltd. today confirmed that the recent competition, A Race To Name, where Sonic The Hedgehog fans could vote upon names for a new race selected by key Sonic fansites, and European gaming websites, finally has a winner. After thousands of votes were cast, it became clear that it was going to be a closely fought race between The Zoah, The Gravitus and The Dusk. Fans were hastily casting votes right up until the last minute but in the end only a handful of votes separated the contenders, and like all competitions it could only have one winner with The Zoah prevailing as the fan-favourite.

Congratulations to http://www.seganerds.com/ who originally suggested The Zoah which will now be included in the forthcoming, hotly tipped, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for the Nintendo DS system. The Zoah will be featured as a new enemy race for Sonic The Hedgehog to pit his wits against in 2008.

Developed by industry admired story-telling specialists, BioWare, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood is an RPG adventure set to take the DS by storm this Autumn.
