Copperhead missiles are the largest and most destructive missiles in Venom's arsenal. They are well armored against enemy attacks and even sport a warp drive. In [[Star Fox 64]], six of these missiles target the [[Great Fox]] in the [[Sector Z]] nebula with Invader III class fighter escorts. If the player destroys the missiles before they can hit the Great Fox, the player can go to [[Area 6]] or [[Bolse]]. If the player cannot destroy the missiles before hitting the [[Great Fox]], the missile destroys one of the craft's wings, and the player is forced to go to Bolse, since the Great Fox is incapable of providing cover fire from the larger ships of Area 6. The missiles launched from the nearby Venom stronghold and supply base, [[Macbeth]]. If the player avoids Sector Z and goes toMacbeth, the train pulls cars laden with Copperheads, and those cars are susceptable to explosion.

Copperhead Missiles were space cruise missiles employed by the Venomian Army during the Lylat Wars. Originating from the industrial planet of Macbeth, Copperheads were heavily ray-shielded and warp-capable ordinances that could heavily damage even large capital ships.

Copperheads were used during the Battle of Sector Z in an attempt to destroy Great Fox. Despite being escorted by the new Invader III Fighters, the Star Fox Team succeeded in destroying all six Copperheads used in the attack and save Great Fox from possible destruction.

During the Macbeth Campaign, one of the cars that Fox finds and destroys is a fuel car that is carrying a Copperhead Missile. As the Train was heading for a supply depot, this may imply that it was delivering the Missiles to be launched.
