This is a list of minor characters from the Star Fox series of video games.

Bill Grey

Bill Grey is a fictional character of the video game Star Fox 64 is the Commander of both the Husky Squadron and Bulldog Squadron and is under the orders of General Pepper.

Bill's name is likely a satire of the character General William M. Grey in the movie Independence Day. The entire Katina level is a spoof of the ending to this film.

Bill's place in the story

Bill is an old military academy buddy of Fox McCloud's and since Fox's leave in the academy (rumored because he graduated or because of James McCloud's death). He has risen and rank and was elected commander of two of Corneria's defensive military squadrons. The Star Fox team meets up with him shortly in Star Fox 64, and help engage in killing off the enemies trying to destroy the Cornerian base (located on Katina). If one manages to help him destroy the enemies, he will help Fox raise his shield gauge on Solar.

Bill's appearance

Bill is a gray husky who wears a green helmet with a yellow arrow pointing downward. It is most likely that because Miyu was excluded from Star Fox 2, her personality was handed over to Bill, and the voice, species, and gender were changed. Bill also has an arrow on his helmet which may have come from the idea of Miyu's arrow on her forehead. Though Nintendo excluded two characters from Star Fox 2, two more were put in their place, but they still carried out the idea of having one dog and one cat (Katt Monroe) added to the story.

Bill's starship

Bill rides a ship different from the Arwing. Bill's ship, The Greenie 2, is more curved at the end of the cockpit area and is white with green wings. The ship has a high armor and is indestructable, and while all his teammates can only shoot one laser, he has the twin laser upgrade, compliment of the Greenie 2, seeing how the Greenie 1 has a single laser.

Bill now

Bill, like Katt Monroe, has since been excluded from both Star Fox Adventures and Star Fox: Assault. Many fans are disappointed in such a decision to exclude them, and has thus become the topic of many fan forums.

Caiman

Caiman is a secondary character from the video game Star Fox 64.

Character Information

Caiman apparently is a Venomian pilot, commanding a large fleet of defense fighters. It is unclear of the rank that he holds, but it is evident that he takes orders from both Andross on Venom and an unnamed deep-voiced bird-like creature with devil-like horns in a red helmet, apparently his superior.

Caiman's only appearence in the game is in Venom's air defense zone, also known as Area 6. He does not appear in any of the other Star Fox spin-offs.

Species

In the Star Fox community, there is much speculation about which species Caiman belongs to. Some believe that he belongs to the same race as Slippy Toad, while others assert that he is of a completely different race. Another theory is that he descends of some sort of reptillian race (hence his name). It is also speculated that his face was disfigured and may have undergone heavy plastic surgery. However, this theory is not very widely acknowledged and the validity of this idea is in question.

Caiman Dialogue

"Caiman here. No problems."
"Do you copy? Emergency maneuvers!"
"Not yet, sir."
"They've broken through the first line."
"They're through the second line!"
"The last line has been breached!"

Fara Phoenix

Fara Phoenix is a fictional character from the early stories of the Star Fox series. She does not appear in any of the published games, and was removed from the story altogether when it was revised for Star Fox 64.

Template:Spoiler

Comics

Fara is an anthropomorphic fennec, and it is believed her surname is pronounced "fennecs," though this isn't stated in the comic itself. She appears in a series of comics that was published in Nintendo Power magazine from February to December of 1993.

She is a Cornerian chief test pilot who introduces the Star Fox team to the Arwing spacecrafts. Fara also catches Fox McCloud's eye, and the two frequently tease each other in an ambiguously portrayed relationship.

During the course of the story, Fara provides crucial support for the Star Fox team, and also flies with them on some of their missions. Later, it is revealed that Fara closely resembles Fox's deceased mother, Vixy Reinard.

Star Fox 2

Fara Phoenix is known to have appeared in the early alpha versions of Star Fox 2, but is excluded from the final beta versions that appeared before the game was finally cancelled. In Fara's absence were two new female characters—Miyu and Faye—who were themselves dropped with the cancellation of that game.

It remains to be seen whether Fara Phoenix will ever appear in a future Star Fox story, as Fox McCloud's love interest now appears to be Krystal, who first appeared in Star Fox Adventures.

Fay

Fay (or Faye)was one of the unreleased characters of the cancelled video game Star Fox 2. Faye was dropped before the release of Star Fox 64 and has since then been replaced by a little bit of both Bill Grey and Katt Monroe.

Appearance and personality

Little is known about Fay, except that she is in Bill's family of species (the dog family), she most likely has Katt's personality, and she has Katt's gender. Faye is a white poodle with a big, red bow in her hair, and passes along as very feminine.

Faye's Arwing

Faye had an Arwing with red wings that was armed with twin lasers and super shields. The charging time for these lasers was short, and the zap was quick, which proved to be powerful.

The fan reacton

Like Miyu's case, many fans rant about her sudden disappearance after a long while of expecting her in the series, and is often the talk of many Star Fox forums. It is highly unlikely that she and Miyu will ever be seen again.

Katt Monroe

Katt Monroe is the pink cat players meet in the video game Star Fox 64. Katt has a crush on Falco Lombardi, and although he will never utter any word of it (besides "Katt...? Where'd you go?"), he really likes her to some extent himself.

Katt's story

According to the Star Fox comic, Katt was part of a gang and, by the way it is laid out, most likely the Space Hot Rodders, the same gang that Falco himself was a part of. Katt meets up with the team in Star Fox 64 on the planet Zoness, and helps players flip a few switches (as well as in Macbeth and/or Sector Z later in the game). Katt and Falco continually talk among the transmitter, usually arguing, and has become a theme in most Star Fox fan-artists' art works. Rumor has it that Katt lives among the floating cities of Zoness.

Katt's appearance and personality

Katt's exact species is unknown, although from her appearance and color, players can assume she is some sort of alien cat. Katt is pink with a dark cream-colored muzzle and a very feminine personality. Katt most likely has the unreleased character Faye's personality. Katt seems to have a high experience in flying.

Katt's ship

Katt's ship is the CatsPaw. The ship is actually one of Venom's Invader-class interceptors, stolen by Katt when she was working solo against them. The craft has an extremely high velocity and a seemingly indestructible shield. The CatsPaw is quadruple winged, and consists of a pink color and a white body. The jet also sparkles as it flies by.

Fan reaction

Katt, like Bill Grey, was excluded from Star Fox Adventures and Star Fox: Assault. Many fans continue to be angered by this, and they have only continued since the release of Star Fox: Assault.

Miyu

Miyu Lynx is one of the two pilots of the cancelled video game Star Fox 2 that were dropped after Nintendo decided to drop the Star Fox 2 project and start a completely new Star Fox game known as Star Fox 64. It is likely that this character was more serious than the other dropped pilot, Faye (Faye looking quite feminine, like that of Falco Lombardi's friend Katt Monroe of Star Fox 64, and Miyu appearing more stern).

Personality and appearance

Miyu was a light-brown lynx with black and brown markings and when looking closely at Miyu's forehead, one can observe that she has the arrow (a fur marking for her), that Bill Grey also has on his helmet. Miyu is likely to have been swapped by Bill Grey in the Star Fox 64 release seeing as they have similar personalites.

Miyu's Arwing

Miyu also flew an Arwing like that of Fox McCloud and the Star Fox team. Miyu's ship was a white arwing with blue colored wings. The ship that both Faye and Miyu flew in Star Fox 2 were equipped with twin lasers. The ships were agile but had low shields which meant that they couldn't take much punishment unlike the General-Purpose Type and the Heavy Assault Type, but had some different sort of built-in shield.

Fan reaction

Although many fans continue to rant about the disappearance of the characters Miyu and Faye, it is slim that they will ever see the light of the video gaming world.

Vixy Reinard

Vixy Reinard is a fictional character in the Star Fox universe.

Vixy is Fox McCloud's mother, and presumed to be the wife of James McCloud. She is only mentioned in the Nintendo Power Star Fox comic and because of this, some fans believe that she is not a bonafide part of the series, though the Star Fox 64 version of the story, which is considered the current canon, neither confirms nor nullifies her exsistance.

Vixy's Story

Template:Spoiler Andross had either previously dated, or had desires to date, Vixy prior to her meeting James. After Vixy had fallen in love with James and had given birth to their son (Fox), Andross was driven into a jealous rage during which he planted a bomb on James's car. Unfortunately for both Vixy and Andross, it was Vixy who got in the car, detonating the bomb. She was killed in the blast.

Near the end of the comic story, one of Andross's two clones (Andross was killed earlier in the story) mistook Fara Phoenix for Vixy and admitted to her over a PA system from one of his flagships to killing Vixy. Fox McCloud hears this and the flies into a rage, destroying the flagship as well as the Dancing Insector.
