Star Fox is a series of spaceship shooter games published by Nintendo. The main protagonist and player character of the series is Fox McCloud, the leader of a team of anthropomorphic animals in the Lylat planetary system called Star Fox. Gameplay involves control of futuristic aircraft called Arwings, as well as other vehicles and combat on foot.
According to programmer Dylan Cuthbert, several names of animals were used in the names of the characters whenever the development team believed they, for those characters, "[sounded] good".[1]
