Espikal

Espikal is the het ship between Espio the Chameleon and Tikal the Echidna from the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom.

Canon
While the two characters appear in mainly the same canons (games, both Pre- and Post-Super Genesis Wave Archie Comics, Sonic X and Sonic the Comic; IDW is a canon in which Espio appears but Tikal does not), they have never been shown in the same place at the same time.

Fanon
Despite no canon appearance together, Espikal is a somewhat popular ship, possibly due to a process of elimination when pairing characters. Its biggest rival ship is Knuxikal, which is the most popular ship for Tikal. Notable rival ships for Espio include Espicole and Espilver, though there are no extremely popular ships for Espio.
