Characters from ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' include:
== Since ''[[Star Fox (video game)|Star FOX]]'' and its comic ==
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.
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.
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badbutt]]
* [[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]]''.
Line 117 ⟶ 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]]
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]/[[Incompatible Orientation]]: We don't know for an absolute certainty whether he's [[Sorry, I'm Gay|gay]] or [[Asexuality]]—just that he's not into ''any'' girls, ''[[Gender and Sexuality Tropes|ever]]''. He was also vague in whether his solo nature is attributable to this, [[Celibate Hero|or vice versa]]. It doesn't really help that the canonical ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]'' was [[No Export for You|Japan-only]] and it only materialized in English online as an obscure low-resolution [[Scanlation]].
* [[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.
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badbutt]]: "Now it's our turn to kick some tail!"
* [[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 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.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
{{quote|"See my ship?? Does it ''look'' okay to you??"}}
{{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 139 ⟶ 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.
* [[The Lancer]]
* [[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 146 ⟶ 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.
* [[Troubled but Cute]]
* [[Tsundere]]: Especially in the [[Star Fox (video game)|original comic]]. Falco is deeplya lovinggood towardpal to Fox, even while beating the shit out of him.
* [[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]]''.
----
Line 169 ⟶ 171:
* [[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.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[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.
Line 177 ⟶ 179:
'''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]]
* [[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]]''.
Line 240 ⟶ 244:
'''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 Discontinuity|never made another official appearance]], and didn't appear in ''[[Continuity Reboot|Star Fox 64]]'' onwards.
 
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: There's still hope she may appear someday.
Line 271 ⟶ 275:
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.
* [[Ace Pilot]]
* [[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 at Night|those shades]].
Line 278 ⟶ 282:
** 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.
* [[Hot Dad]]
* [[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 284 ⟶ 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 at Night]]: James is never seen without them in the games, except for the scene in Sector Y in the original ''[[Star Fox (video game)|VideoGame/StarFox]]'' (he'll only appear if you're lucky) in which he not only did not have sunglasses, but he was a [[Space Whale]].
Line 380 ⟶ 384:
{{break}}
== Since ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' ==
When ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' was finally made ([[Vaporware|and not released for over two decades]]), Fara made no appearance, but Miyu and Fay were there instead. Since there were two of them—both female—it also at least partially averted [[The Smurfette Principle]]. Neither they nor Fara survived the [[Continuity Reboot]]. Star Wolf made its first appearance (with Algae and without Andrew), but were heavily remodeled for ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.
 
[[File:Miyu collage 6698.png|frame]]
Line 413 ⟶ 417:
* [[Ace Pilot]]: All of them.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: They're technically criminals with bounties on their heads, but as the story goes on, they increasingly save the day.
* [[Badass]]: At least Wolf, Leon, and Panther are. Pigma's just as dangerous but not outright badass, and Andrew is more of a badass wannabe when he isn't being portrayed as outright pathetic.
* [[Badass]]
* [[Badbutt]]
* [[Cast Full of Gay]]: Most prominent during ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]'', with the [[Manly Gay]] Wolf and [[Camp Gay]] Leon (who are also the only members present in every incarnation of the team), with Panther being the only one interested in women (namely in Krystal). Leon is most obvious from the beginning (at least in Japanese), but Wolf [[Flanderization|increasingly personifies]] the [[Manly Gay]] stereotype over time, reaching his greatest flamboyance (so far) in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl''.
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: In their first appearance, they were depicted as completely amoral [[Psycho for Hire]], especially Leon and Pigma. In later games, Pigma's been kicked off the team for being too evil and the more sociopathic attributes of the team have become more subdued. They become more like [[Anti-Hero]]es and the [[Worthy Opponent]]s of Star Fox.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: They consider the Star Fox team to be this, though some members will deny it more than others.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]
----
[[File:Donnell collage 8521.jpg|frame]]
Line 431 ⟶ 433:
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.
 
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: A curious example, due to [[Values Dissonance]], in Japan the audience ''universally'' considers Wolf a blatant [[Manly Gay]] while in the Western audience this status is debatable on cultural differences and [[Values Dissonance]]. While he has not had a [[Narrating the Obvious]] [[Have I Mentioned I Am Gay?]] moment, this is, at its flimsiest in Japan, a [[Word of Saint Paul]]. [[Word of God]] has not been forthcoming, [[Don't Explain the Joke|nor is it expected to come]].
** [[Badass Gay]]: "If anyone's going to tan your hide, it's going to be me!"
** [[Leather Man]]
** [[Manly Gay]]
* [[Anti-Hero]]
* [[Badass]]
Line 457 ⟶ 455:
* [[Joker Immunity]]: Neither Wolf nor his wingmates will die if they are shot down in a dogfight.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: A ruggedly handsome anthro wolf who exclusively wears leather outfits. To say furry fans love him is the understatement of the century.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: A specifically homoerotic version.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Wolf's [[Costume Porn]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Brawl]]'' is a [[Shout-Out]] to his outfit in the then [[Vaporware]] ''[[Star Fox 2]]'', down to the vest and the [[Spikes of Villainy]]. It has also proven (in various [[Shirtless Scene|states of undress]]) to be his most popular outfit in fanart, where it helps accentuate his [[StupidMemetic SexySex FlandersGod]] and [[Manly Gay]]status foramong certain parts of the fanbase.
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: During their [[Enemy Mine]] moments, Wolf gives Fox guidance.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: This is why he won't let the Aparoids kill Fox in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''. And he delivers it in a manner full of [[Homoerotic Subtext]]:
{{quote|'''Wolf:''' And if anyone's gonna tan your hide, it's gonna be me.}}
* [[Opera Gloves]]: His gloves in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Brawl]]'' come very close to this.
* [[Purple Eyes]]: And has the badassery to match them... er, it.
* [[The Rival]]: To Fox, who he'll always gun for during team battles agaisnt Star Wolf.
* [[The Rival]]
* [[Secret Character]]: In ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl''.
* [[Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome]]: Originally the same age as Fox in ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'' (18 years old); gets a six-year age bump in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]'', easily placing him in his early thirties at that point.
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: He wears spiked shoulder pads.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: "If anyone's going to tan your hide, it's going to be me!"
* [[Tsundere]]
----
[[File:Leon Powalski collage 7762.jpg|frame]]
Line 482 ⟶ 478:
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.
* [[Agent Peacock]]
* [[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]]
* [[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.
Line 490 ⟶ 487:
* [[Evil Brit]]: Like Wolf, his accent used to sound vaguely British when he appeared in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''. Later games would portray him without one.
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[In Love with Your Carnage]]/[[Have I Mentioned I Am Gay?]]: How he ''[[Homoerotic Subtext|feels]]'' towards Wolf.
{{quote|'''Panther:''' Set me straight on this Leon; are you jealous of the shred-er, or the shred-ee?}}
* [[Informed Attribute]]: We've never actually seen him kill anyone, even though he's supposed to be a cold-blooded killer with no conscience. Some of this may be because of the game's target audience. His dialogue does show him to be depraved.
{{quote|"I think I'll torture you a bit before I cook you!"}}
* [[Lizard Folk]]
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Wolf's a murderous thug who at least values a fair fight, Pigma's an oppurtunistic creep, Andrew's trying and failing to live up to his uncle's example as a criminal mastermind, and Panther is an honorable ladies man with a [[Blood Knight]] streak. 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. The only thing that keeps him from being worse than Pigma is his loyalty towards Wolf and willingness to help stop threats greater than Andross.
* [[Psycho for Hire]]
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: AIt's slight subversion in a senseperhaps that hethe islone notreptile ''necessarily''of evil,Star butWolf rather just followsis ordersone andof hasits nomost moraltwisted standingmembers.
* [[Shout-Out]]: His name is a reference to Leon '''K'''owalski from the movie ''[[Blade Runner]]''.
* [[Stone Wall]]: His ship has tremendous health and defense, but no primary lasers.
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: Yells "This can't be happening!" if defeated on Fortuna or Bolse.
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: JapaneseFor vocalsboth the English and Japanese onlydubs: Hishis voice wasstarted off low and fluid-sounding in ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]''; overtime it has become higher-pitched, accented, and maniacal. Basically he went from sounding like [[The EnglishJungle versionsBook of(Disney thefilm)|Shere gamesKhan]] followedto suitsounding onlike this''[[Beavis and Butt-Head|Beavis]]''.
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: His mannerisms in the Japanese version''64'' were actually intended to reflect that he is "creepily sophisticated."

[[File:Pigma Dengar collage 5492.jpg|frame]]
Line 511 ⟶ 508:
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}}.
* [[Black Eyes of Crazy]]
* [[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}}.
* [[Daisuke Gouri]]
* [[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 havingbeing a defining trait of his.
* [[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]]
* [[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.
{{quote|'''Pigma:''' Hmm... is it that important? Waa haa haa! Then I'm gonna be rich! Smell ya later!}}
Line 532 ⟶ 530:
* [[Large Ham]]: No [[Pun]] intended. He shines in ''64'' as the hammiest character, and that's saying a ''lot''.
* [[Laughing Mad]]: By the time of ''[[Star Fox Assault]]'', he seems to have lost a lot of his sanity, as about half of his speakable appearances is him laughing, and it is eventually topped when {{spoiler|he ends up Aparoidized.}}
* [[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|'''Pigma Dengar:''' Daddy screamed REAL good before he died!}}
* [[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 Discontinuity|deemed status]] in the series, as well as the fact Pigma considered Star Wolf to be true friends of his, despite the fact Wolf kicked him out (and apparently attacked him) [[Even Evil Has Standards|because they couldn't stand the greedy bastard]], and it seems easier to just consider him deceased for now.}}
* [[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]]''.

Line 555 ⟶ 557:
John Hugill (''Star Fox Assault'') }}
 
The original fourth member of Star Wolf in ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' was a primate named AlgaeAlgy. ''AlgaeAlgy'' never appeared again, instead replaced in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' by the also primate (but heavily redesigned) Andrew Oikonny. (The [[Fan Translation]] of ''2'', however, renamed Algae "Andrew"). ''Andrew'' is Andross's nephew, and plays [[The Rival]] to Slippy. After ''64'', he quit Star Wolf and attempted to revive his uncle's empire in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''. He appears again in ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'', but as a subordinate of the Anglars.
 
* [[Ax Crazy]]: The Japanese script of ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' has him behaving in a somewhat crazed manner.
* [[Badass Arm-Fold]]: His official render's pose in ''Assault''. Too bad the man himself doesn't pull it off in the slightest.
* [[Badass Arm-Fold]]
* [[DiscBig OneBad Final BossWannabe]]: In ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''. He tries his best to be the next Andross (robotic floating head and hands and all!) but is shot down by an Aparoid ''during the prologue''.
* [[Giant Enemy Crab]]: His contraption in ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'' is a mechanical "Death Crab".
* [[Giant Hands of Doom]]: Part of his ship in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''.
* [[Gonk]]: Not so much in ''64'', but definitely in ''Assault''.
* [[Gonk]]
* [[Harmless Villain]]: He's the one Star Wolf member who is taken the ''least'' seriously, and it gets worse with every single one of his subsequent appearances.
* [[Known Only By Their Nickname]]: By the time of ''[[Star Fox Assault]]'', Andrew Oikonny is only referred to by his family name, Oikonny. In fact, he only gives his full name only once, which is literally the last words he got to say shortly before his mech is literally shot in the head by an Aparoid attack.
* [[Last-Name Basis]]: In ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]''.
* [[Maniac Monkeys]]
* [[Overlord, Jr.]]: Eh, kind of. He ticks all the boxes, but is Andross' nephew instead of his son.
* [[Punny Name]]: Andrew is derived from the Greek word Andreas ("of a man").
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: His ship in ''Assault'' transforms into a mechanical Andross-inspired form.

* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: Pink Katt ''breathed'' this trope. Besides being pink, this was heavily reflected in the way she dressed, the way she did her hair, and especially her heavy blue eyeshadow.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: When Falco and Katt were younger, Katt used to need rescuing from trouble all the time, and Falco was the one to rescue her. But Falco not only wanted Katt to be a more self-reliant person, but also didn't appreciate Katt having a crush on him. Katt [[Xenafication|finally became a capable woman]] when Falco's absence forced her to grow up.
