Uhu the Wind Genie is a speedy genie from the of the world of the Arabian Nights who appears in Sonic and the Secret Rings. He takes the form of an orb of blue and white light, similar to Tikal's form of a floating red and white sphere of light. Because Uhu is not under the control of a master, he serves as Sonic's opponent for certain racing challenges, once per world. He is said to be famous for his speed, which appears to explain why he challenges Sonic in the first place.
It is widely believed by fanon that Uhu is the Arabian Nights' version of Sonic himself, hence the blue color, speed, and elements of wind and freedom.
