Pigma Dengar

Pigma Dengar is a fictional pig character from the Star Fox series.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Pigma is a greedy, unintelligent character described by fans as a character you love to hate.

He first appears as a villain in the never-released Star Fox 2 for the Super Famicom, as one of the Star Wolf mercenaries sent by the evil Andross to attack the player throughout the course of the game.

He appears again in Star Fox 64, where—as part of a flashback—he is shown to have originally been an Arwing pilot working for the Star Fox team. Pigma was sent out on a mission together with James McCloud and Peppy Hare to investigate strange activity coming from the planet Venom, which served as the residence of the exiled professor Andross. Upon their arrival on Venom, Pigma committed treason against Corneria and betrayed the Star Fox team and went over to Andross's side. He later joined the villain counterpart of the Star Fox team—Star Wolf. When you face Star Wolf, Pigma will attack Peppy.

In Star Fox: Assault, he attempts to control the Aparoids, but instead becomes consumed by them, rendering him braindead with his body attached to the boss of Mission 5: Asteroid Belt, and subsequently killing him.

Pigma is exceptionally greedy and does not care who he hurts or kills so long as he ends up with a large paycheck in the end. His greed is what drove him to betray James McCloud and Peppy Hare, who likely considered him a friend until that point. This incredible greed disgusted Wolf O'Donnell, who in turn kicked Pigma off of the Star Wolf team. His greed eventually led to his demise as explained earlier.

Pigma is the one of the few characters in the series to hold both Star Fox and Star Wolf membership.
