Cullination Royalty: Andross Part 1


ANDROSS!

I believe that Andross is a very underrated character.  Although he is the main antagonist of the StarFox series, I think he does not get as much love as he should!  This is because he is all powerful and controls the galaxy!  But yet, he is not more or even equal in popularity as Bowser and Ganondorf.  

Andross was a scientist working on the planet Corneria.  His intentions in the beginning was good.  He wanted to protect Corneria.  However, he felt like the only way to protect Corneria was for him to became it's sole ruler.  This eventually drove Andross mad and began working on experiments with genetics and using himself as the "guinea pig".  These experiments and him altering his genetics eventually led him to unleash a deadly weapon on Corneria!  This act caused him to get banished to the deadly planet known as Venom.  

While Andross inhabited Venom, he build an army in order to rule the entire Lylat System!  Because of this, the "original" StarFox team had to investigate.  The team consisted of James McCloud, Pigma Dengar, and Peppy Hare.   During their mission, Pigma betrays StarFox and joins Andross thus leading to the possible death of James McCloud.  After this event, a new StarFox team emerges under the leadership of James McCloud's son, Fox McCloud.

Fox has defeated Andross many times in his career as the leader of he StarFox team.  He also defeated Andross in his many different forms.  This includes his brain form, metal form, and monkey form.  Andross eventually dies but his spirit lives on!
