*Fox has green eyes | *Fox has green eyes, sometimes blue, with orange-brown fur, and his golden-brown white-highlighted hair is cut into a crew cut. The rest of his skin is a cream-colored tone. He additionally has a bushy white-tipped tail which appears to be very short in ''Star Fox 64'' and ''Command''. Fox is of medium height and medium weight, but this is contradicted in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, where he is a mid-sized target, but additionally very light. | ||
*Fox speaks in a rather youthful voice in all games, but the style and personality differs with each voice actor.

This can also be seen in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. In ''Star Fox Adventures'', his look was updated. He loses the helmet and puts on a red scarf and zips open his jacket. He also wears some hard metal boots and switches his pants color from gray to green, and wears a knee pad on his left leg. In ''Star Fox: Assault'', Fox wears all green and a white jacket, apparently lightly armored. He also wears more pads on his elbows and knees and has a communicator on his arm, as well as a back pack for carrying items, including rock candies and Krystal's Staff in ''Star Fox Adventures'' to weapons in ''Star Fox: Assault''. In ''Star Fox Command'', Fox goes back to wearing his classic outfit from ''Star Fox 64''. | ||
