| ~ Fox McCloud arriving with his team. |
Star Fox is a legendary team of mercenaries and adventurers-for-hire which has repeatedly defended the Lylat System in times of peril. Founded by James McCloud, the leadership passed through to his son, Fox, after his apparent disappearance. The group consists of Fox McCloud (the leader), Falco Lombardi, Krystal, Slippy Toad, and Peppy Hare.
History[]
Early Beginnings[]
Star Fox is a band of adventurers-for-hire often employed by General Pepper. The team is headed by Fox McCloud. Star Fox 64 fills in the background of the team where at its founding, it was composed of James McCloud, Peppy Hare, and Pigma Dengar (who later betrays the team and sides with Andross). Peppy later retires from active flight duty shortly before Star Fox: Assault and was more or less replaced by Krystal, Fox's love interest. The team's primary aircraft is the Arwing, their land craft is the Landmaster, and the team's mothership is known as the Great Fox. The team is made up of Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Krystal, Slippy Toad, and Peppy Hare.
Story[]
The story takes place in the Lylat System, wherein lies the planet of Corneria, kept safe by General Pepper and the Corneria Defense Force. Of course, this military group can't handle every galactic threat that comes their way and finds themselves having to regularly enlist the help of some benevolent mercenaries. Enter Star Fox, consisting of Fox McCloud and his friends Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad. Together, they assist the Cornerian Army in battling the vile Mad Scientist Andross, their villainous counterparts in Star Wolf, and various other threats to their quadrant of the galaxy.

Trivia[]
- In promotional materials for the original SNES game, the entire team had what initially appeared to be metallic-looking feet and ankles rather than large boots. It was theorized that the Star Fox team had their legs amputated and replaced with futuristic prosthetics to prevent loss of consciousness while flying, as gravity tends to force blood away from the brain and toward the lower extremities. However, at around the time of the release of Star Fox Zero, both Shigeru Miyamoto and Dylan Cuthbert have stated separately that this is not the case, with the former stating that it was merely an aesthetic. Many false claims have been made around Fox and Falco's legs, however they have not been removed in the official canon. In all other appearances to date, including Star Fox 2 for the Super NES Classic, the boots were redesigned to be more natural-looking and less alien-looking.
- Excluding the nine endings of Star Fox Command, Fay, Miyu and Krystal are the only female members in the games.
