'''James McCloud''' was the leader of the original [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]] team. He is also the father of current team leader [[Fox McCloud]]. He was supposedly killed after a failed mission against [[Andross]]. | |||

James McCloud's signature has, since ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', been wearing a pair of sunglasses. Otherwise he carries a close resemblance in both appearance and apparel as his son, Fox McCloud. His eyes are olive green in ''Star Fox 64 3D'' instead of Fox's green. | |||
