Game appearances[]

Sonic Adventure/Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut[]

The Seal made its debut in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut. In gameplay, Seals can alter the stats, appearance and personality of a Chao. These animals are found inside Badniks. Simply destroy the Badnik to release the Seal inside, and then touch it to pick it up. When released, the Seals have a green sphere around them, which disappears shortly afterwards. They are found in the following Action Stages:

• Emerald Coast
• Hot Shelter
• Icecap
• Windy Valley

Upon entering a Chao Garden with a Seal, it will leave the playable character and run around the garden. The Seal will sparkle if it has not given them to a Chao in the garden. Should the player give a Seal to a Chao, the Chao will embrace it, attaining its appearance and behavior and raising its stats according to the Seal's. The Seal will then lose its sparkle and disappear shortly after.

Sonic Adventure 2/Sonic Adventure 2: Battle[]

In Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, the Seals appear again as Animals used for raising Chao. The way the player acquires the Seals, releases them into the Chao Garden, and uses them to alter Chao, is the same as in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut. The Seals similarly disappear after being used. However, they do not sparkle in Chao Gardens like in the previous title.

In gameplay, the Seals are either found inside the second Chao Container opened in an Action Stage, or hiding somewhere in the Action Stages, usually inside Cages or Pipes. They are found in the following Action Stages:

	Hero Story	Dark Story	Misc.
Action Stage	Metal Harbor Aquatic Mine Meteor Herd Crazy Gadget	Radical Highway Weapons Bed	Cannon's Core (Tails, Knuckles)
