An Aparoid is a parasitic creature appearing in Star Fox: Assault which infect other organisms, assimilating their genetic structure and skills into the species. Responsible for the death of Andrew Oikonny and assimilation of Pigma Dengar both former Star Wolf members at the time.

Inspiration

The Aparoids appear to have been inspired by insectoid extraterrestrial species from a number of science fiction franchises. The most obvious of which seem to be the Bugs from Starship Troopers. The 'worker class' of the Aparoid species, who make up the backbone of the Aparoid invasion during Star Fox: Assault, are present on the battlefield in great numbers in any given mission in the game, as in Starship Troopers.

Higher orders of the Aparoid species exhibit behavior that is closely reminiscent of the Borg from Star Trek. They are able to infest biological and non-biological entities (such as computers), as in the missions that take place on Corneria and Fichina, respectively.
