Peppy Hare

Next up is the team’s mentor, an anthropomorphic hare named Peppy.

In early installments, Peppy had the vibe of an older brother to the group, until Star Fox 64 established him as a contemporary of Fox’s father, placing him in more of a sage fatherly role to the team, always giving the others advice on how best to tackle a situation. In later games, he’d retired from active duty, giving up his place on the team to Krystal.

As a fighter, Peppy would be slower, but still with a bit of agility owing to his nature as a hare. He will pull from the same pool as his teammates, but tailored more to a weathered veteran like him.

Likelihood rating: Strong.
