 * —Peppy Hare

Peppy Hare is a retired member of the legendary Star Fox team. He served with previous leader James McCloud and wingmate Pigma Dengar. After the former's death and the latter's betrayal of the team, Peppy joined the new Star Fox team, consisting of Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, and Slippy Toad. An experienced pilot, he has learned many tricks in his years of flying, and is also very knowledgeable about Andross's forces, since he once had to escape captivity at their hands. Even though Peppy is older than all the other Star Fox team members, he declined the leadership role and insisted that the younger Fox McCloud take over the team after James was slain by Andross. After Pigma's betrayal and James' capture, Peppy narrowly escaped to return to Corneria to inform Fox of his father's fate. Ever since then, Peppy serves as Fox's mentor and father figure and frequently gives Fox instructions and advice throughout the course of the games.

Peppy served in the Cornerian army alongside James and Pepper before pulling out to become a founding member of the mercenaries for hire team Star Fox. Five years after the banishment of Andross, Peppy along with James McCloud and Pigma Dengar were called to planet Venom by General Pepper to investigate strange activity coming from the planet. Upon their arrival, Pigma betrayed the team as Peppy and James were taken into captivity by Andross. James was supposedly killed, and Peppy barely managed to escape but learned a few tricks about the Androssian ways. Returning home, Peppy informed James' son, Fox, about his father's fate, and the new team was born.

Peppy appears as a supporting character in the Nintendo Power comics, where the continuity and his looks are based on the SNES era.

ReceptionEdit
Peppy has remained another fan favorite over the years. Peppy's phrase from Star Fox 64, "Do a barrel roll!", has become a popular internet phenomenon.

TriviaEdit

 * Peppy's Star Fox 64 quote, "Do a Barrel Roll" has became an Internet meme and is one of the Star Fox series' most well known quotes. In fact, a music video of the meme that is on the internet is based off the 1979 Dschinghis Khan disco song, "Moskau".
 * Despite retiring from piloting before the events of Star Fox Adventures, Peppy keeps returning to his Arwing and piloting it in combat, all the way into the events of Star Fox Command.
 * With 134 quotes, Peppy is the most talkative character in Star Fox 64. The 3DS release added seven new ones.
 * Considering the many similarities between Star Fox and Star Wars, Peppy's personality is like Obi-Wan's just like how Fox McCloud is to Luke Skywalker and Falco Lombardi is to Han Solo. Like Obi-Wan, Peppy is wise, caring and fatherly and survived an incident which Fox's father apparently did not survive, similar to Obi-Wan surviving the Jedi order's fall. His quote, "I've got a bad feeling about this, Fox", has Star Wars reference as well.
