Copperhead Missile

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.
