===Physiology=== | |||
Slippy's last name suggests that he is a species of [[Wikipedia:Toad|toad]], but he closely resembles a [[Wikipedia:Bullfrog|bullfrog]]. Slippy is rather short and pudgy, and also has blue eyes. | |||
Slippy wears a red cap that usually has his name imprinted on it and is humorously placed in between his eye-sockets and a yellow bodysuit with different kinds of equipment including a utility belt and a watch. In games before ''Assault'', Slippy is shown with a jacket similar to the one Fox wears and similar pants. He is the only character, along with Krystal, to keep his bodysuit from Assault (although in some cutscenes, he is seen with his other outfit). | |||
Slippy also wore a trademark bead necklace in ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'', ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' and in the [[Star Fox (Nintendo Power comic)|Nintendo Power comic]], but this is absent in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' and subsequent games until ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', where [[:File:End7-3.png|one of the endings]] shows an elderly Slippy wearing a similar necklace. | |||
=== Personality === | === Personality === | ||
Slippy Toad is the son of [[Beltino Toad]], the Research Director for the [[Cornerian Defense Force]]. Both Slippy and Beltino invented and constructed many inventions for the team, including the [[Blue Marine]]. In the gap between ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', both the Toads, Slippy and Beltino, briefly designed aircraft for Cornerian Defense Force. He is hinted as being less athletic than the rest of the team. Example are found in the ending of ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', when the team runs a long distance, where Slippy slowly falls behind, and in the introduction of the same game, Slippy is seen falling behind his wingmates. Also, in ''[[Star Fox Assault]]'', in the scene where everybody jumps into their ships for launching, Slippy ends up falling head first into his ship. Slippy played a major role in the [[Lylat Wars]] as a new and inexperienced [[Arwing]] pilot. During dogfights between [[Star Fox Team|Star Fox]] and [[Star Wolf]], Slippy shares a rivalry with [[Andrew Oikonny]]. His main role is providing information about the area, similar to [[Peppy Hare]], and analyzing the shield strength of bosses. Slippy's inexperience and lack of talent while flying get him into trouble more often than any other team member, for which [[Falco]] taunts him mercilessly. | Slippy Toad is the son of [[Beltino Toad]], the Research Director for the [[Cornerian Defense Force]].
