Mount Mobius

Mount Mobius is a volcanic islet located in the Mobian Channel.

=Name= Mobius is a name used within the nearby Kingdom of Mobius to refer to the whole world. There is some debate as to whether the mountain was named for the Kingdom or vice versa; however the folk etymology that Mount Mobius means Mountain of the World remains popular among the inhabitants of the region.

=History= For most of history Mount Mobius has remained dormant; local legend posits that tectonic activity in the region is kept low by the presence of Chaos Emeralds.

During the Great War the Eggman Empire came into control of the island, with Dr. Ivo Robotnik establishing one of the region's major roboticizers within a heavily guarded fortress inside the mountain. The volcanic tubes in the bowels of the island were used as a dumping ground for waste from the nearby Oil Ocean Refinery, creating a noxious environment now referred to as Toxic Caves.
