Fata Morgana (ファタ·モリガナ) is the alien enemy organization behind all of the major attacks on the Earth throughout the Sonic Wings series.
Description[]
The enemy is not given any name until Sonic Wings Special, the manual for which refers to the group as both the "Organization" and as "Fata Morgana." A Fata Morgana is a mirage, particularly one of multiple large objects such as cliffs. The name refers to the mythical Morgan le Fay (Morgan the fairy), King Arthur's sister, as the mirage could resemble Morgan's legendary fairy castle. [1] The connection between Sonic Wings and the Fata Morgana phenomenon is apparent when one considers that mirages are responsible for some UFO sightings when lights or celestial objects are reflected by a Fata Morgana. [2]
"Phutta Morgana," the organization's name in the English version of Sonic Wings Assault, is a mistranslation of the Japanese katakana for "Fata Morgana."
In Sonic Wings 3, Fata Morgana combines forces with the Hildroid.
