The Star Fox team is a fictional heroic team in the Star Fox series of video games.

The Arwing is the team's primary spacecraft, and the Great Fox is the base of operations of the team.

Original Star Fox

The original Star Fox team is not featured on any of the games, but is referred mostly in Star Fox 64.

The original Star Fox team was founded by the ace pilot James McCloud and his best friend Peppy Hare; the greedy mercenary Pigma Dengar joined the team shortly after. They were hired by General Pepper of Corneria to investigate strange activities coming from the remote planet of Venom, when they arrived to Venom, Pigma betrayed the team to help Andross kill James and tried to capture Peppy. Peppy managed to escape to Corneria, where he told General Pepper and Fox McCloud what had happened.

Members

• James McCloud was the leader of the Star Fox team and an expert pilot. He was very determined about his work, but never seemed to panic whenever things went awry. He fell into a trap led by Pigma, and was supposedly killed by Andross. He was very good friends with both Peppy Hare and General Pepper.

• Peppy Hare was a very good friend of James and considerate of others. He learned much from James, and was saved numerous times by him in battle.

• Pigma Dengar joined the team after its formation, but only cared about the large paycheck he received. When Andross offered Pigma more money, he accepted and left Star Fox, but not before betraying James and Peppy.

Star Fox in the Lylat Wars

On the Cornerian-Venomian conflict seen in Star Fox 64, General Pepper formed a new Star Fox team; he thought that it would be a good idea if the new Star Fox was lead by James' son Fox McCloud. He sent Star Fox on a mission to destroy Andross and end the conflict; Star Fox arrived in Venom, where Fox fought against Andross alone and defeated him.

Members

• Fox McCloud was the new leader of Star Fox, and had a serious, but considerate personality akin to his father's. Occasionally he would joke around or share bits of sarcasm with his teammates, however. He single-handedly defeated Andross on the planet Venom. Age: 18

• Slippy Toad was a young pilot, he was very emotive and often getting into trouble, but he was a very skilled mechanic and he created the Blue Marine and many other gadgets for the team. Age: 18

• Peppy Hare was a veteran pilot and flew for the original Star Fox team. He is a kind and caring character, who was always giving advice to other members of the team. Age: 41

• Falco Lombardi, a former gang member, was a highly skilled pilot with a bitter attitude. He often seemed to only really look out for himself, but deep down, he found Fox to be a great leader and friend. He never shows it but he has respect for anyone more skilled than him. Age: 19

Support Personnel

• ROB 64 (a.k.a. ROB), a new addition to the Star Fox team, ROB is the Great Fox's android pilot.

Allies

• Bill Grey, commander of the Husky and Bulldog squadrons and under the command of General Pepper; he is an old friend of Fox's and he assists the Star Fox team on some of their missions.

• Katt Monroe was once romantically involved with Falco, though he seems little interested in acknowledging it now; she is a skilled pilot, and helps the Star Fox team on some of their missions.

Star Fox on Dinosaur Planet

In Star Fox Adventures, there is a disturbance on Dinosaur Planet, and the Star Fox team is sent to fix it before the catastrophe affects the whole Lylat System. Falco had left the team to fly solo, and with the mission to Sauria taking place mostly on foot, Peppy and Slippy stay on the Great Fox to act as support.

Members

• Fox McCloud goes it pretty much alone in this adventure, leaving the rest of the team on the Great Fox, showing that he is as adept at hand-to-hand combat as he is at flying an Arwing. Age: 26

Support Personnel

• Slippy Toad is the team's mechanic, and helps Fox by developing various gadgets for him to use, such as the translator that lets him speak Dino-language. Age: 26

• Peppy Hare steps away from the Arwing to give Fox advice over the communicator. Age: 49

• ROB 64 has fallen into disrepair, as did the Great Fox itself, due to a lack of funding during peacetime after the Lylat Wars; as a result, ROB makes a few mistakes when sending supplies down to Fox.

Allies

• Prince Tricky is a young Earthwalker who aids Fox on Dinosaur planet, and acts as Fox's sidekick—whether the space hero likes it or not. He was made an honorary member of the team at the end of the game.

• Krystal is introduced in this game, but aside from telepathically instructing Fox on how to use her staff, she is little more than the game's damsel in distress. Age: 19

• Falco Lombardi, a former Star Fox member who left on his own, and returns at the end to help Fox. Age: 27

Star Fox during the Aparoid Invasion

When the Aparoid race invaded the Lylat System in , the Star Fox team was hired by General Pepper to slow down the invasion, and eventually Beltino Toad was able to code an apoptosis program to destroy the Aparoid Queen and the Aparoids. Star Fox invaded the Aparoid Homeworld and destroyed the Queen.

Members

• Fox McCloud is the leader of the team. Over the years he had developed somewhat of a more sarcastic persona, but still remains a loyal and admirable leader. He has a certain interest in Krystal that goes beyond just partnership, but is embarrassed whenever someone brings it up, especially Krystal herself. Age: 27

• Krystal is the newest member of Star Fox, and the team's telepath; she is very caring for others, and is difficult to upset or anger. She has a crush on Fox, and drops several subtle hints, but doesn't outwardly show it otherwise. Age: 20

• Slippy Toad is a very skilled mechanic, with a habit of getting into trouble occasionally. He has matured over the years and became more responsible, but expresses emotions much more prominently than others. Age: 27

• Falco Lombardi is the ace pilot of Star Fox team. He is known to be very arrogant sometimes, but has lightened up since the events in the Lylat Wars. He headed out on his own for a few years, but returned, saying "the team is like family". Age: 28

Support Personnel

• Peppy Hare is no longer on active flight duty, and now takes the role of general advisor. He gives the team useful information and mission updates as well as sending down Arwings and Landmasters through the Great Fox's Transfer System. Age: 50

• ROB 64 is the Great Fox's android pilot, and like the ship itself, was upgraded and refitted after the mission on Dinosaur Planet, in Star Fox Adventures.

Star Fox in Nintendo Power's Star Fox comic

Appearing in Nintendo Power magazine as part of a monthly comic, this team is derived from the Star Fox team found in the original SNES game, Star Fox, and features a new character that wasn't found in any of the games.

Originally part of the Cornerian Defense Force, they were exiled by the Cornerian Leadership in fear of Fox's protests against Andross during his rise to power. They were forced to flee and live as outlaws on Papetoon where they made a living of raiding Imperial Scows and delivering the supplies to the oppressed villagers. They were then recruited by General Pepper to take control of the Arwings as a Last Resort to stop Andross once and for all.

• Fox McCloud, son of the finest pilot on Corneria and the top student of his class at the Academy. He could fly circles around a Flea, endure days of Gravity Training, recite the Cornerian Constitution backwards and belch on command. Develops a prosperous relationship with Fara Phoenix.

• Falco Lombardi, a member of a gang of space hot-rodders, Falco wanted to fly so Fox showed him the way. He cleaned up his act and entered the Cornerian Academy to earn his wings. His piloting skill is second to Fox.

• Peppy Hare, a wise rabbit with acute hearing and sharp eyesight, the comic doesn't go into much detail about Peppy and his past.

• Slippy Toad, team Mechanic in charge of keeping the Arwings maintained and in working condition as well as modifying them for a specific situation. Being the least experienced in combat tends to make him the most vulnerable. Has a girlfriend name Croakella. In part 2 of the Comic, his Choker is a string of Sleeping Gas Pellets which only he has immunity to its effect.

• Fara Phoenix, daughter of the Spaceship Magnate and a Chief Test Pilot of the Cornerian Defense Forces. Introduces the Starfox team to the new SFX Arwing Fighters and later provides crucial support for the team. After the first test flight, she joins them, and develops a prosperous relationship with Fox McCloud.
