Peppy Hare

"Do a Barrel Roll!" —Peppy Hare

Peppy Hare (ペッピー・ヘア, Peppī Hea) is a member of the legendary Star Fox team, with leader James McCloud and wingmate Pigma Dengar. After Pigma's betrayal and James' capture, Peppy narrowly escapes to return to Corneria to inform Fox McCloud of his father's fate. Ever since then, Peppy serves as Fox's mentor and frequently gives Fox instructions and advice throughout the course of the games. Peppy's phrase from Star Fox 64, "Do a barrel roll!", has become a popular internet phenomenon, and is spoken on several internet forums. According to Star Fox Command, he has a daughter, Lucy, and is the widower of his wife, Vivian. He eventually retires from flight duty, taking up a post in the Great Fox and eventually made General of the Cornerian Army, after Pepper grows ill.

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 arrival, Pigma betrayed the team. James was killed, and Peppy barely managed to escape. Returning home, Peppy informed James' son, Fox, about his father's fate, and the new team was born.

Peppy became part of the new team, led by Fox McCloud, and the two new members, Slippy Toad and Falco Lombardi. Peppy was considered "an old fart" in the team. Occasionally the team would encounter the evil group, Star Wolf, led by Wolf O'Donnell and consisting of, Leon Powalski, Andrew Oikonny, and former StarFox team member, Pigma Dengar. Peppy was the main target of Pigma. After Star Wolf and Andross were defeated Team Star Fox returned home and were paid handsomely by General Pepper(depending on how many enemy units were destroyed by the player).

He retires as a pilot because of his age and become a good advisor and navigator on the Great Fox.

With the money earned after saving Sauria, Peppy remained aboard the Great Fox during missions and gave advice. Peppy somehow found his way back into an Arwing after General Pepper was captured by the Aparoids and arrived at the last moment to save Pepper from dying. Before the team managed to get into the Aparoid homeland's center a shield goes up, but Peppy came in the Great Fox and crashed into the shield and opened a course for the Star Fox team to go in. Peppy is thought to be dead but was absorbed by the aparoid queen. After destroying the queen Peppy returns in a ship with ROB 64 and says he's surely going to retire.

During the Anglar Blitz, Peppy replaced Pepper as the general of the Cornerian Army and, during the game, we learn that he has a daughter named Lucy Hare. She is teaching astrophysics at Fichina.

Peppy made cameo appearances in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a collectable trophy.
