== Since ''[[Star Fox (video game)|Star Fox]]'' and its comic ==▼
Characters from ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' include:
The first game, in 1993. So overshadowed by ''[[Continuity Reboot|Star Fox 64]]'' in 1997 that some fans don't even know there were ''Star Fox'' games or stories before that.

'''Star Fox'''<br />スターフォックス<br />''<small>Sutā-Fokkusu</small>''
Line 23 ⟶ 26:
----
* [[Ace Pilot]]: All of them.
* [[Badass]]: Yes, even Slippy. They're all skilled pilots who shoot their way through entire enemey fleets and massive war machines like they're nothing.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: The Star Fox team is doing that on the Corneria level, and a couple other levels too.
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: At least some of the team wears the team's trademark neck scarf in assorted colors, in every game of the franchise except ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''.

Steve Malpass (''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', ''Super Smash Bros Melee'')
Jim Walker (''Star Fox Assault'', ''Super Smash Bros Brawl'') }}
Line 45 ⟶ 47:
* [[Battle Couple]]: Krystal accompanies him for the ground based missions on Sauria and the Aparoid Homeworld during ''Assault''
* [[Berserk Button]]: In the [[Star Fox (video game)|Nintendo Power comic]], after Fox discovers that Andross was the sole reason he became an orphan (see [[Conveniently an Orphan]] below), Fox is sent into a fit of [[Unstoppable Rage]] and he single-handedly destroys Andross's flying ship base.
{{quote|
'''Falco:''' Steady! Line it up! Almost there...!
'''Fox:''' Falco! I NEED TO DO ''THIS'' ONE '''MYSELF!'''
(Fox flies ahead of the rest of the team and attacks the core)
'''Peppy:''' ...Fox? He's boiling over!
'''Falco:''' I've never seen him so... twisted! I'm glad I'm not Andross! }}
** He also hated being called "[[Embarrassing Nickname|Junior]]" in [[Star Fox (video game)|the comic]].
Line 61 ⟶ 63:
* [[Cutscene Incompetence]]: In ''[[Star Fox Adventures|Adventures]]'', Fox is faced with the [[Big Bad]] in a cutscence and takes ten shots at him with his [[Kill It with Fire|fire-blasting]] staff. He misses ''all ten'' shots. He even fails to hit the Mook that the [[Big Bad]] attempted to use as a [[Human Shield|Dino Shield]]. This coming from an [[Ace Pilot]], and if dialogue is an indication, a crack shot with personal weapons as well. Also occurs repeatedly in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''; typically, Pigma's ship gets away because Fox has to do something else or is distracted. The script tends to forget the three ''other'' members of the team at such times.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Seems to be a bit of his characterization in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''.
{{quote|
'''Peppy:''' ''On it's way. What's the situation?''
'''Fox:''' ''Well, I got my hands full. But what else is new.''
'''Peppy:''' ''Done! Here's your Landmaster!''
* Landmaster dramatically 'ports in in the middle of a swarm of Aparoids*
'''Fox:''' ''Great''. Good to see the transmission system's targeting is as ''sterling'' as ever. }}
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: Fox tries to keep his affection towards Krystal under wraps in ''Adventures'' and ''Assault''. Not that it makes any difference, since all of his teammates know him too well, ROB [[My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That|has a way of putting it out in the open]], and others like Tricky assumed they were already together.
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Probably the reason James is always shown wearing shades and Fox never
* [[Happily Married]]: One of ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'''s endings has him as this with Krystal.
* [[The Hero]]
Line 78 ⟶ 80:
* [[Like Father, Like Son]]
* [[Name McAdjective]]
* [[Official Couple]]: Currently this with Krystal.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Fox's parents, James and Vixy, are both gone. Vixy is dead, and James is a disembodied voice and occasional [[Space Whale]].
Line 86 ⟶ 87:
* [[Say My Name|Scream My Name]]: In the Japanese versions, his team members will do this if Fox is killed (These are replaced with a [[Big No]] in the English version). In the English version, the only instances of this trope being applied towards Fox is when Slippy is swatted towards Titania by Spyborg, Slippy just before the battle against Goras, and by his team members when Fox is going to "go it alone" against Andross inside his base (both paths), and the last part only if his teammates aren't undergoing repairs of their Arwings. Fox himself also used the trope twice: First when Slippy was knocked away to Titania, and the second when Fox finds Slippy in Gora's claw (before it awakens).
* [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules]]: In stark contrast to Falco's [[Only in It For the Money|greed]], Fox always practices the [[Robin Hood]] credo, and is unconcerned with becoming rich. That is not to say Fox doesn't enjoy luxuries now and then.
{{quote|
'''Falco:''' You could have asked for a moon!
'''Fox:''' Moons aren't nearly as comfortable. }}
** And it's not like he ever ''doesn't'' bill General Pepper for Star Fox's services.
*** Hell, in ''[[Star Fox Adventures|Adventures]]'', he spends a lot of time complaining that he's not getting paid nearly ''enough'' for what he's doing. What exactly is the game in which Fox seems to have anything other than mercenary purposes? He definitely seems to be about the cash, even if he's, y'know, nice about it.
**** Well sure, you still have to put food on the table. Similar issues in episode plots of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' come to mind. It probably takes an assload of cash just to maintain the Great Fox (not to mention their expensive ''Arwings''), which is especially worrisome when business is slow, and it is implied that the Great Fox was in severe disrepair by the time of the game. In ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]'', they were all practically ''living'' on that ship in deep space, and spent a lot of boring days playing video games (labelled as training). That's also not even getting into the issue of how Fox, after inheriting the Great Fox from his father, also ends up having to pay the remainder of his dad's eighty year loan that his father got simply by getting the ship. However, in the older comic where Fox's credo came up, they weren't in the Great Fox, but in their Papetoon Rebel Hideout underneath a tree in the desert, where cost of living may have been less expensive.
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Once in ''Assault'' relating to Krystal. Tricky assumes that Fox and Krystal are already a couple and promises to keep Sauria intact until they can come back on their honeymoon. Fox unfortunately phrases his response in a way that makes it clear that even though they aren't, he does want them to be, causing much embarrassment until he can change the subject.
{{quote|
'''Tricky''': "Not yet"?
* Krystal leans in curiously whilst Fox struggles over his words*
'''Fox''': Uh... I mean- I mean, this is not a conversation for children!
* Krystal laughs at his immediate topic changing*
'''Tricky''': You said you weren't gonna treat me like a kid anymore!
'''Fox''': Then stop acting like one!
'''Tricky''': You're just mad 'cause you don't wanna talk about it.
'''Krystal''': Alright, that's enough boys. }}
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]/[[Brown Eyes]]/[[Blue Eyes]]/[[Green Eyes]]/[[Green Is Blue]]: Fox was shown having brown eyes in the title screen of the original ''[[Star Fox (video game)|Star
* [[Trigger Happy]]: Some dialogue in ''[[Star Fox Adventures|Adventures]]'' implies that he's like this (specifically General Pepper forbidding him from taking a blaster to his first Sauria mission and shooting everything in sight to solve his problems, requiring him to find a different, yet suitable weapon for the circumstances), but so far it's been an [[Informed Attribute]].

'''Falco Lombardi'''<br />ファルコ・ランバルディ<br />''<small>Faruko Ranbarudi</small>''
{{quote|
{{quote|
Ben Cullum (''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Melee'', ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'')
Mike Madeoy (''[[Star Fox Assault]]'')
Dex Manley (''Super Smash Bros Brawl'') }}
Line 118 ⟶ 119:
* [[Ace Pilot]]: This is actually his official team designation. His stats even seem to imply that he's a more skilled pilot than Fox, though [[Informed Ability|this doesn't come up so much during gameplay]]. And appropriately for a bird, he expressively prefers flying an Arwing, as opposed to any of the team's other options.
* [[Amazing Technicolor Wildlife]]▼
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The manga ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]'' explains his absence for most of ''[[Star Fox Adventures|Adventures]]'' as being from a falling out between him and Fox due to the machinations by an officer who planned on resurrecting Andross.
▲* [[Amazing Technicolor Wildlife]]: Just look at that plumage!
* [[Back for the Finale]]: Comes back at the end of ''[[Star Fox Adventures|Adventures]]''.
* [[Badass]]: The most stereotypical of the Starfox team given his loner badboy demeanor couple with his skills as an ace pilot.
* [[Big Badass Bird of Prey]]
* [[Bishonen]]: In ''[[Star Fox Adventures|Adventures]]'' and in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]'', but not so much in the SNES games or its comics, or in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]'', or ''[[Star Fox Command]]''. It really [[Art Shift|depends on the artist]].
Line 131 ⟶ 130:
* [[Chekhov MIA]]: In ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''.
* {{spoiler|[[Cool Old Guy]]}}: {{spoiler|In one of the endings of ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'', Falco serves this role, playing mentor to Fox's son Marcus just as Peppy was Fox's mentor. And like Fox above, Falco wears awesome sunglasses.}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: At least half his lines are him acting like a sarcastic ass towards his teammates.
{{quote|
{{quote|"Gee, I've been saved by Fox! How ''swell''."}}
* [[Everything's Better with Chickens]]: In the Nintendo Power comics, Falco notes that he has a cousin who's a chicken.
* [[Feather Fingers]]
Line 140:
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Despite mocking some of his teammates constantly, he seems to genuinely care about their well-being.
** The [[All There in the Manual|instruction manual]] for ''Assault'' even states that he considers the team his family.
* [[The Lancer]]: Despite all his bickering with Fox, he's his greatest friend and most trusted co-pilot for a reason.
* [[Midnight Blue Eyes]]
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Yes, Katt, we know how hot you think he is. Falco is understood to be attractive to the ladies, but he won't give any of them more than his platonic friendship.
Line 147:
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Averted (in Japan).
* [[Shout-Out]]/[[Blind Idiot Translation]]: Originally named after Carlo Rambaldi, an Italian special effects artist who worked on the films ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]'' and ''[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|ET the Extraterrestrial]]''. "Lombardi" was a mistranslation. Japan media for ''[[Star Fox 1]]'' romanized the name as "Lambardi", before "Lombardi" was settled upon in localization.
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: A rare example of this happening to an ''NPC''. "Go find your own target, Fox!" He did this in the Super NES game too. "Mind your own business, Fox!" Though of course, [[Hypocrite|it doesn't stop him from yelling at you to help him when he's being tailed by an enemy fighter.]]
* [[Toothy Bird]]: Not seen in the games, but has been seen in every comic thus far, including the [[Star Fox (video game)|Nintendo Power comics]] and ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]''. Whether Falco has teeth or not seems to [[Depending on the Artist|depend on the artist]] more than comics vs. games.
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: This oddly handsome bird had quite the rough upbringing, as evidenced by him spending his teenage years running with a gang of criminals. He also has a lot of troubling opening up to others, even his closest friends.
* [[Tsundere]]: Especially in the [[Star Fox (video game)|original comic]]. Falco is
* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: Unlike Peppy and Slippy who are grateful for having their hides pulled out of the fire, Falco usually complains or shit-talks Fox.
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: Japanese voice only: His voice is much deeper now than it was in ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]''.

{{quote|
Chris Seavor (''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Melee'', ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'')
Henry Dardenne (''[[Star Fox Assault]]'')
Dex Manley (''Super Smash Bros Brawl'') }}
Line 166 ⟶ 167:
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: He's playable in ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'' and shows that he's still capable of flying an Arwing despite his age.
* [[Baka]]: In ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]'', this is Peppy's [https://web.archive.org/web/20060209203004/http://arwinglanding.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3&pos=21 reaction] to {{spoiler|Fox and Falco fighting each other in their Arwings.}}
** ''[[Star Fox 64]]'''s Japanese version has him say this if you shoot at him.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: Like this to Fox in the Super NES canon before the [[Continuity Reboot]].
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: He conducts himself like a fun, wise father figure to the rest of the Starfox team, Fox especially given his tendency to quote the late James McCloud.
* [[Do a Barrel Roll]]: ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' is the [[Trope Namer]], and it was one of Peppy's signature phrases.
* [[Happily Married]]: From what little is gathered of it, he used to be this with Vivian, before she died.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] / [[Disney Death]]: In ''[[Star Fox Assault]]'', Peppy ends up sacrificing the Great Fox, and himself in the process, by ramming the Great Fox (which was gradually being aparoidized by the Aparoids) into the shields of the Aparoid Homeworld's core in order to allow the rest of his team entry. Turns out, he survived by using the Great Fox's bridge as an escape pod.
* [[It Has Been an Honor]]: He essentially tells his teammates this during the penultimate level (which is also before he {{spoiler|ended up [[Disney Death|nearly]] [[Heroic Sacrifice|sacrificing himself]] as well as sacrificing the Great Fox by kamikazing it into the shield generator}}).
{{quote|
'''Fox:''' Huh? What are you saying?
'''Peppy:''' Err... nothing, I'm just babbling, that's all. }}
* [[It's Personal]]: With Pigma, his and James' old wingmate before he turned traitor. During any encounters with Star Wolf, those two will happily duke it out.
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: To Fox, with some of his quotes sounding ''very'' similar to the actual Obi Wan.
{{quote|"Never give up! Trust your instincts!}}
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Is this to Fox. Considering Fox was still a young teenager when James disappeared, Peppy essentially had to raise and train Fox, to make sure he made it to adulthood.
* [[Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome]]: In the SNES game, Peppy is officially 36 years old. He was friends with Fox's father, but Peppy himself was only 11 years older than 25-year old Fox and more like a [[Cool Big Bro]]. In the ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'' [[Continuity Reboot]], Peppy was made 41 years old, a full generation older than [[Not Allowed to Grow Up|18-year old Fox]], and was rewritten more as a [[Parental Substitute]] to orphaned Fox. Then, in the sequels to ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'', when everyone was allowed to age normally, Peppy started to really show his age, becoming quite old-looking by ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]''.
* [[Species Surname]]
* [[Team Dad]]: Generally a kinder, more egalitarian version of this. Fox is still the leader, after all. But [[Beware the Nice Ones|heaven help you]] if you're [https://web.archive.org/web/20060209203004/http://arwinglanding.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3&pos=21 being a total idiot], a notable example being the aftermath of Fox's dogfight with Falco.
** Although when he learned the reason why Fox got into the dogfight with Falco in the first place, he became disturbed.
* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: It doesn't take much to convince him to get back in the cockpit.
** Until ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]'', when suddenly a 45-year old man insists he's "too old" to pilot the Landmaster, and insists that [[Recycled Script|Slippy do it]].
{{quote|
* [[Tsundere]]: Peppy can often be kind, friendly, and even fun-loving, but [[Beware the Nice Ones|his angry moments]] can paint the walls.
* [[You Remind Me of X]]: Fox reminds him of James.

'''Slippy Toad'''<br />スリッピー・トード<br />''<small>Surippī Tōdo</small>''
{{quote|
{{quote|
Chris Seavor (''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Melee'', ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'')
Mike McAuliffe (''[[Star Fox Assault]]'', ''Super Smash Bros Brawl'') }}
Line 205 ⟶ 208:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Some of his lines in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]'' paint him this way, especially when he looks at the menacing Aparoid base and remarks about how tasty it looks (as well as angrily ask if the Aparoids have ever heard of windows in one conversation).
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: In all of the Japanese versions of the games, and in the English version of ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'', which lead to Western fans infamously mistaking him for a girl. He's voiced by a man in all of the other English versions, though (although Peppy's line at the ending of the Titania level establishes that Slippy is indeed male [''"I'm sure he's [Slippy] learned his lesson."'']).
** In the SNES games, Slippy actually has the second ''lowest'' voice of all the main
* [[
** First in the [[Star Fox (video game)|original comic]], he was kidnapped by a [[Lizard Folk|lizardman]] mechanic in a hangar on Titania, and taken to Andross's base on Fortuna. But he was eventually able to free himself then with the help of his [[Utility Belt|Utility Necklace]]).
** Then in ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'' (after the [[Continuity Reboot]]), after being shot down towards [[Recycled Script|Titania]] and then nearly in the jaws of Goras, in the Landmaster. He needs to be rescued by Fox.
Line 224 ⟶ 227:
** His second time was in ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'', and Fox had to rescue him in the Landmaster (although it's less of a kidnapping as much as being shot down by Spyborg, crashlanding into the arms/jaws of an alien lifeform known as Goras, and then the Goras awakening when Fox arrived to rescue Slippy).
** His third time was in ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]'', even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshading]] how he had been in a dangerous situation before. This time Slippy is kidnapped ''while driving the Landmaster'', by the same creature as before (or at least a creature of the same species), and Fox needs to rescue him on foot.
* [[Like Father, Like Son]]: Though the similarities between father and son are applied somewhat differently. His father Beltino is a geeky, stuttering, absent-minded inventor of ships and weaponry ([[Non-Action Guy|though no indication is given he's the type whose been in a fight]]), whereas Slippy is a geeky, [[Depending on the Writer|mostly]] non-stuttering, occasionally absent-minded inventor ''and'' operator of ships and weaponry.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: In ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'', his ship, the Bullfrog, has a huge health meter and gets plasma shots, but it has a tiny boost meter and isn't very mobile.
* [[Missing Mom]]: Who ''is'' Slippy's mom? Out of all the major Star Fox characters whose parents have actually been shown, Slippy is the only one who has been depicted with no mother whatsoever.
Line 238 ⟶ 241:
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: Japanese vocals only: His voice is far less feminine now than it was in ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]''.
----
[[File:
'''Fara Phoenix'''<br />ファラ・フェニックス<br />''<small>Fara Fenikkusu</small>''
Fara was introduced in the comic series for the [[Star Fox (video game)|Super NES game]], and besides a brief [[Cameo]] in an early beta of ''[[Vaporware|Star Fox 2]]'', she [[Canon
* [[Canon
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: But at one time almost [[Averted]] this, appearing in an early demo of ''[[Star Fox 2]]''.
* [[Daddy's Girl]]
Line 250 ⟶ 253:
* [[Green Eyes]]
* [[Identical Stranger]]: Fara looks just like Fox's dead mother Vixy, to the point of being virtually indistinguishable from her when she puts on one of Vixy's dresses (in spite of the two being ''different species'' no less; Fara is a Fennec Fox, whilst Vixy is a Red Fox). Even Andross confuses Fara for Vixy, which causes him to become sentimental and delusional, and apologize ''[[Engineered Public Confession|on loudspeaker]]'' for the [[Accidental Murder]] of Vixy that no one else knew he'd committed.
* [[Ojou]]
* [[Pink Means Feminine]]: Fara had a pink jumpsuit, and even her personal Arwing was pink when all the others were white.
* [[Rescue Romance]]: Implied with Fox at the very least. Fox (and Slippy) save her from getting her head blown off by one of Andross's lizard troopers (attempting to use her as a hostage), he later stops his team from opening fire on her ship when she shows up during a training exercise, and then when they enter real combat, when her Arwing goes down Fox manages to catch her ejected cockpit mid-air with his, before it crashes into the ground below. The second and third saves are commented upon.
Line 259 ⟶ 262:
* [[Species Surname]] / [[Punny Name]]: "Phoenix" is pronounced "[[wikipedia:Fennec fox|fennecs]]".

{{quote|
Hirohiko Kakegawa (''[[Star Fox Assault]]'') }}
{{quote|
Jim Walker (''Star Fox Assault'') }}
Fox's father and the leader of the original Star Fox team. He was betrayed by Pigma and killed by Andross. {{spoiler|Or was he?}}
* [[Ace Pilot]]: He was such a good pilot, that the only reason why he was kiled was because he was blindsided by Pigma's unexpected betrayal.
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Depicted as looking exactly like Fox with sunglasses in later games, even though close examination of images of him in ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'' indicate he had a darker shade of fur than his son.
* [[Blue Eyes]]: In the 1993 comic. Since then, all official artwork of his face has obscured his eyes with [[Sunglasses
* [[Cool Shades]]
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Although he tends to show up as a ghost/hallucination in a few games, or is he still alive?
** According to the Nintendo Power comic, he was at ground zero of the sabotage that created the Black Hole, but tells Fox (while riding in on a [[Space Whale]]) that he's become part of a different parallel dimension.
* [[Divergent Character Evolution]]: No longer just Fox wearing Sunglasses, now he's Fox wearing sunglasses ''and'' a yellow scarf!
* [[Hot Dad]]: He's just as attractive as his son, and his cool sunglasses definitely give him an edge over his son.
* [[Name's the Same]]: Not to be confused with the character from ''[[F-Zero|F-Zero X]]'', though that character is a blatant [[Expy]]/ShoutOut to this one.
* [[Never Found the Body]]: In ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]''. But in the SNES games and comics, he has become a transdimensional [[Space Whale]]!
Line 285 ⟶ 288:
* {{spoiler|[[Secret Character]]}}: In ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]''.
* [[Space Whale]]: In both the Super NES game and comic, this is the only way he can reappear from his dimensional exile.
* [[Spirit Advisor]]: During his rare appearances.
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Fox is very similar in appearance to his father; it seems his signature streak of hair on his head was even inherited from James.
* [[Sunglasses
* [[Talking to Himself]]: In ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]'', Fox and James (the Aparoid-absorbed memories of him in the latter game, anyway) are portrayed by the same voice actors, Mike West and Jim Walker (per each game, respectively).
* [[Wham! Line]]: Don't ever give up, my son.

'''Vixy Reinard McCloud'''
Line 297 ⟶ 300:
* [[Animal Theme Naming]]: Her first name "Vixy" alludes to "vixen", which is a term for a female fox. Also [[Species Surname]], see below.
* [[Canon
* [[Death
* [[Hot Mom]]: She was referred to as being very beautiful. Her death was even a result of Andross's lust for her.
* [[Missing Mom]]
* [[Murder by Mistake]]: Andross planted a car bomb intended for James. Unfortunately, Vixy used James's car to get to work on that day, and she was killed when it was automatically set off.
* [[Posthumous Character]]
* [[Punny Name]]: Vixy's name comes from "Vixen", which is a term for a female fox.
** Her last name comes from the "Reynard Cycle", a medieval French book about the adventures of a clever fox named Reynard (fr: Renart). The book was so popular in the [[Middle Ages]] that it gave its name to the animal ("Renard" is French for fox). In-universe, going with the concurring theme of being named after one's species, it may provide a reason for why Fox received ''his'' name.
* [[Species Surname]]: Her maiden name "Reinard" is close to "renard", the French word for fox.

Line 325 ⟶ 328:
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Becomes ill by the time of ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'' and has to retire (although fans suspect that his illness may have something to do with his brief possession by the Aparoids).
* [[Redshirt Army]]
* [[Shout-Out]] or [[Parental Bonus]]: His name and uniform come straight from ''[[The Beatles|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]''. The origin of his name even gets a [[Lampshade Hanging]] in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130327222927/http://arwinglanding.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=41 the Nintendo Power comic.]

'''Andross'''<br />アンドルフ<br />''<small>Andorufu</small>''
The main enemy of Star Fox. A maniacial scientist whose experiments nearly destroyed all of the Lylat System and because of this, was banished to Venom.
* [[Back
* [[Badass Beard]]
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Considering the white hair that makes up his aforementioned beard as well as the fact that he is literally a grandpa, he's clearly older than most of his enemies.
Line 339 ⟶ 342:
* [[Body Horror]]: By the time Fox actually faces him, Andross has long since left his original body behind, being no more than a giant floating head with separately detached floating hands. Blowing off his skin leaves his brain and eyeballs (attached together via neural stems) still active. {{spoiler|And when he's resurrected in ''Adventures'', at least ''half'' of him isn't actually his own body, he's attached to the rear of a Krazoa statue's head}}.
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: In reference to [[Murder the Hypotenuse|his accidental murder of Vixy]]:
{{quote|
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Going by the fact that there were references to Andross creating both the Anglar Race (according to the Farewell Fox storyline) and the means to defeat them (the whole removing poison from the sea thing), it's hard not to suspect that Andross was probably planning to invoke this trope in a bid for power. That, or he made a failsafe should [[The Starscream|they turn on him]].
* [[Cloning Blues]]: Andross was cloned in both the Super NES comic and in ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]''.
** In the Super NES comic, ''two'' clones of Andross were made after he was killed. But the clones turned out not to be completely identical (besides being dressed in [[
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Had '''four''' backup plans in case his life was threatened. First plan was the robotic duplicate he deploys in the bad endings of ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]''. Second was Shears and his [[Cloning Blues]] bid. Third was {{spoiler|that little incident on Sauria, which allowed his spirit to linger and in ''[[Star Fox Adventures|Adventures]]'' nearly resulted in him being reborn as a [[Physical God]]}}. Fourth was {{spoiler|his "ghost" (a hologram programmed with his personality) which surfaces in ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]''.}}
* [[The Dark Side Will Make You Forget]]: In ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'', some misions have Krystal suggest that he wasn't ''quite'' as evil initially. She mentions that he was looking for ways to terraform [[Mordor|Venom]] (which, it should be noted was a [[Retcon]] to the series), and she defends some of his biogenetic research. Whether she's ''right'' or not is up for debate, as is whether it should be counted as canon.

Wolf is the leader of the Star Wolf team and perennial rival to Fox. He and Fox first met during ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' (before the [[Continuity Reboot]]) and in ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'' (after the Continuity Reboot) when Andross hired Star Wolf to take down Star Fox. Since their first encounter, however, Wolf gained a grudging respect for Fox and came to his aid several times - though it's heavily implied Wolf only helps Fox so he can ensure he will one day take him down by himself.

Leon is the insane and unpredictable assassin and member of Star Wolf. In his first appearances in ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' and in ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'', his personality was much different from the [[Ax Crazy]] persona he seems to have developed after ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]'', although there were still hints of it ("I think I'll torture you for a while"). Come ''Assault'', however, and he's a babbling psycopath. He plays [[The Rival]] to Falco.
* [[Agent Peacock]]: Depending on the game, he's written to be somewhat prissy and flamboyant. It doesn't make him any less of dangerous psychopath, though.
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Along with his aforementioned flamboyance, certain games like ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' hint that he's got something of a crush on Wolf... or at the very least, is enraptured by his strength and ferocity. He refuses to elaborate and gets embarrassed when Panther jokes about it.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: He already came off as a creep in ''64'', but ''Assault'' and beyond portray him as having several screws loose, and then some.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Implied to be the only reason the Star Wolf team puts up with him, because he's really good at killing things.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Some of his dialogue in ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'' reveals a penchant for flowers and rainbows, and the other characters don't tend to think that he's aware of what is going on all the time.

Then there's ''this'' guy, who depending on the game is either a classy gentleman with a love of brutal torture, or a ''babbling lunatic'' with a love of brutal torture.

Lev Liberman (''[[Star Fox Assault]]'') }}
Pigma was a member of the original Star Fox team, but betrayed James to Andross and later joined Star Wolf. He is a grotesque money-grubber, who was kicked out of Star Wolf just before ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''. He tried to profit off of the Aparoid invasion by stealing the Core Memory of a dead Aparoid, {{spoiler|but it corrupted him, and he became assimilated into the hive mind}}. He later returns in ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'', {{spoiler|having survived by keeping his consciousness in a giant cube}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Asshole Victim]]}}: {{spoiler|While his assimilation into the Aparoid hivemind is disturbing to the point that even the Star Fox team are horrified by his fate, it's exactly what he deserved for his cruel and treacherous nature}}.
* [[Body Horror]]: {{spoiler|This is generally expected to happen with anything infected by the Aparoids, but Pigma is by far the most advanced case of the Lylatians that had been infected}}.
* [[Everything Is Messier With Pigs]]: Just look at the guy!
* [[Evil Former Friend]]: To James and Peppy. Given how close Star Fox team members are generally implied to be, it's entirely possible he was very familiar amongst their families as well, which would have included Fox. And then he ended up becoming greedy enough to willingly lure his friends and teammates into a death trap because he wasn't quite satisfied with the money he was receiving, and Andross paid him better.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: In the [[Backstory]].
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Then again, his species isn't known for being picky eaters.
* {{spoiler|[[Fate Worse Than Death]]}}: {{spoiler|Being assimilated in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]'', being destroyed, and yet not dying.}}
* [[The Friend Nobody Likes]]: While he's more competent than Andrew, he was also given the boot because he was a greedy and duplicitous asshole. After all, he sold out his best friends for cash. Who's to say that he wouldn't do the same to his new ones?
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Pigma seems to have three symmetrical scars on his forehead during ''Assault''. Given how by this time he was forcefully kicked out of Star Wolf and chased off, and that the leader of said team is not afraid of using his claws in a fight, it's a safe assumption of just where he received them.
* [[Gonk]]: Even by anthro standards. And there are plenty of good-looking porcine anthros.
* [[Greed]]: His most defining trait, and what made him betray Star Fox and eventually get kicked out of Star Wolf after even they had problems with it.
** By the time of the ambiguously canon ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', however, he pretty much devolved to having [[Revenge]] as
* [[Hate Sink]]: He's a repulsive swine in both the literal and figurative sense, and is disgustingly proud of betraying and murdering James McCloud to the point that he taunts his son by making fun of his ''dying screams''. If there's anyone in Star Wolf that you'll want to shoot down, it's ''him''.
* [[Jerkass]]: Murderous traitor and willing henchman to an intergalactic terrorist aside, he's an utter ''ass'' to his enemies.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: His response to Fox telling him not to steal the core memory.

* [[Large Ham]]: No [[Pun]] intended. He shines in ''64'' as the hammiest character, and that's saying a ''lot''.

* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]]: {{spoiler|His Aparoid form in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''}}.
* [[Pig Man]]: [[Captain Obvious|Duh!]]
* [[Pragmatic Villainy]]: Although he intended to use the Core Memory to make himself rich, he certainly did not intend to actually work with the Aparoids, since obviously obeying them would have meant turning down a profit.
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: It is implied in the Bolse level that, aside from the obvious one of wanting to get rich with money, another reason why he betrayed Star Fox and presumably why he even takes various jobs is because he truly enjoys hurting people.
{{quote|
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Reflected best in ''64'', thanks to his shrill squealy voice and childish taunting.
{{quote|I got two words for you! LO! SER!"}}
* [[Punny Name]]: He is named for the common sentence ender "dengā" in the [[Kansai Regional Accent]], with [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], the producer of the series, being from Kansai himself (specifically, Kyoto, not unlike his employer). The English spelling "Dengar" rhymes with this in non-rhotic accents.
* [[Puzzle Boss]]: In ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]''.
* [[Shout-Out]]: His last name is a reference to one of the bounty hunters in [[The Empire Strikes Back]].
* [[The Sociopath]]: Loyalty, empathy, and kindness are alien concepts to Pigma. He's a greedy and sadistic slob who only cares about money, and he'll happily throw even his closest friends to the wolves if it means he'll make a quick buck. And if that wasn't bad enough, he'll ''brag'' about it, to boot.
* [[Step Three: Profit]]: It's not exactly clear what he planned to do with the Core Memory. He just thought it would make him rich.
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: Yells "This CAN'T be happening!" if defeated on Venom.
* {{spoiler|[[Unexplained Recovery]]}}: {{spoiler|His appearance in ''Command''. Unlike Andrew, who has at least some leeway for his reappearance, Pigma was completely ''atomised'' in an explosion during ''Assault'', calling his reappearance in ''Command'' into further question. He also seems to have a body that is still based on the one he got while under Aparoid possession, yet the Aparoids were completely, utterly wiped out at the climax of ''Assault'', meaning that even if he did survive his body imploding on itself, unless he hadn't been completely assimilated, he more than likely would have been killed then instead. Then again, there's ''Command's'' [[Canon
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: He originally had a shrill and high-pitched voice in ''64'', which changed to a gruffer, deeper voice in ''Assault''. As some fans would put it, he went from sounding like a squealing pig to a snorting pig. As of ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'', he's back to sounding the way he used to, which would carry over into {{spoiler|Star Fox Guard}} and ''[[Starlink: Battle For Atlas]]''.
