Peppy Hare is a fictional anthropomorphic hare from the Star Fox series of video games. He is one of the original members of the Star Fox team and is the oldest and longest serving member. In Star Fox 64, he is color-coded in red, and frequently quotes Fox McCloud's father, saying: "Never give up. Trust your instincts." In Star Fox Command he has become the General of the Cornerian Army, replacing the ailing Pepper.

History[edit | edit source]

In the time before Star Fox 64, James McCloud was captured by Star Fox franchise strategy guide/Villains/Andross, and Pigma Dengar betrayed the team. After the investigation, Peppy narrowly escaped Venom, and informed Fox McCloud about his father's fate. He decided to stay with the Star Fox team when Fox McCloud became the team's leader.

In Star Fox Adventures, Peppy studied Fox's mission, the locations on Sauria (also known as Dinosaur Planet), and the ancient records of the planet. He displays the descriptions of the locations and their maps. At the end of Adventures, Peppy showed Fox a message from Krystal. Shortly thereafter, Krystal entered the Great Fox and reunited herself with Fox. After Star Fox Adventures, the Star Fox team repaired the Great Fox.

In Star Fox: Assault, Peppy has a near-death experience when he and ROB crash the Great Fox into a shield on the Aparoid Homeworld to allow Star Fox to enter the Aparoid Queen's lair. The Great Fox explodes, but both Peppy and ROB escape using an escape craft. When he reunites with Star Fox later, he says that he will really retire. Peppy can be unlocked as a playable character in Assault's multiplayer.

Sometime after the Aparoid invasion, mainly in Star Fox Command, General Pepper, who had fallen deathly ill, gave Peppy his job as General of the Cornerian Army. It is also revealed in Command that Peppy has a daughter named Lucy, who is an astrophysics professor on Fichina. In one of the endings of Command, Peppy and Lucy discuss Peppy's former wife, Lucy's mother, Vivian Hare, who had passed away several years before.

Peppy makes a few cameos in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He appears in a number of cutscenes and the Star Fox Dialogue Easter Egg, and the player can win a Peppy Hare trophy.
