Characters of the Star Fox series

[10] Falco is a friend of Fox and the team's ace pilot, but he dislikes authority, and his brashness, overconfidence and tendency to act on his own tend to put him in danger.

[10] Falco does not appear during the majority of Star Fox Adventures, as he could not be properly integrated into the plot in time for the game's release.

Due to his lower flying skills compared to his teammates, Slippy Toad tends to fall prey to enemy pilots, and as such calls upon the player for assistance.

Peppy Hare[g] is a rabbit who wears a red suit and is a member of the original Star Fox team, with leader James McCloud and wingmate Pigma Dengar.

After Pigma's betrayal and James' capture, Peppy barely escapes to return to Papetoon to inform Fox McCloud of his father's fate.

[3] He was originally voiced by Tomohisa Asō in the Japanese versions of the series;[8] Starting with Star Fox 64 3D, Kunpei Sakamoto took the rein of the character.

Krystal wore a loincloth and was originally designed to be a main character of Dinosaur Planet, before Nintendo turned the project into a Star Fox title.

She makes a cameo appearance starting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as one of the contacts for Fox, Falco, or Wolf with a taunt on the Lylat Cruise stage.

[29] ROB has the ability to completely control the Great Fox, piloting it, providing information to the team, and aiding them with items and vehicles.

Prior to Star Fox Adventures, he has been rebuilt and upgraded several times by Slippy Toad, infusing him with more productivity and personality.

This is hinted at in his profile in the Pilot Gallery and his rejoicing after defeating the Anglar Emperor because he claims that he will look forward to parades with flowers and other such niceties.

Leon has a customized ship called the Rainbow Delta, which may allude to his supposed soft spot or reference the fact that chameleons can change color.

He nonetheless returns and serves as a boss in Star Fox Command, revealing that he survived the previous encounter as a cube-shaped cyborg.

In Star Fox 64, Andross is said to have effectively forced Pigma to include him on the team, as he is otherwise an inexperienced pilot with an elitist attitude, using his uncles' authority as a shield to be arrogant, causing him to be unpopular with his crew mates; essentially, the only reason Wolf tolerates him is because he is using his connections to Andross to provide the team with immeasurable technological and financial support.

Sometime after Andross is destroyed, Oikonny, no longer having the support of his uncle, is kicked out of Star Wolf,[33] and from there he plans to avenge his uncle's death by gathering the remnants of the Venom army to stage a rebellion against Corneria, as seen in the beginning of Star Fox: Assault, where Oikonny pilots his ship resembling Andross on Fortuna, but a large Aparoid destroys it.

However, a growing obsession with his engine and bio-technology drives him to the brink of madness, despite multiple warnings from the planet's ruling council.

Subsequently captured by General Pepper and banished for treason to the wasteland planet Venom, he builds an army and plots to dominate the Lylat System and rebuild it in his name.

He manipulates their leader General Scales into collecting various artifacts infused with the spirits of the Krazoa and imprisons Krystal in the palace.

Through her, he is able to generate the energy from the Krazoa Spirits to restore himself back to full power, intending to obliterate the entire Lylat System.

While he does not appear in Star Fox: Assault, his reign continues in his nephew Andrew Oikonny, who constructs a new fleet with Andross' remaining Venomian units.

Andross appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an Assist Trophy character, resembling his metallic-looking form from the first Star Fox game.

According to Star Fox Zero, Andross secretly worked on a Cornerian teleportation device for peacekeeping purposes, but his lust for power made him claim it as his own for his schemes.

Working as a double agent, he tells the Star Fox team he and his group of scientists are planning to reconstruct Andross's research, claiming there might still be Venom soldiers on the planet.

Andross gives him power in return for capturing Krystal and the Krazoa Spirits, while keeping himself relatively unknown to Scales at the same time.

In some of the final missions, he becomes a very large angler fish, capable of taking the player's ship into his mouth, which is reminiscent of an attack used by Andross in other games.

On a scouting mission to Venom, he was betrayed by a former member of Star Fox named Pigma Dengar and the team is captured by the evil Andross.

In the ensuing conflict, James McCloud courageously creates a diversion so that Peppy Hare could escape, presumably sacrificing himself (though his true fate is ambiguous).

James makes his first playable appearance in Command piloting an Arwing like Peppy which resembles the Assault design.

Despite his grandfather's dark ways, he still appreciates the man's forgotten aspirations, and wishes to carry on his legacy of making Lylat a better place.

In some missions, she fights the Anglar attackers in her aircraft, the Sky Bunny,[ay] armed with plasma lasers and a single lock.
