Pigma Denger is a recurring enemy within the Star Fox series who is known for his greedy and traitorous nature. He is a traitor of the original Star Fox Team and a former member of Star Wolf who has spent his last two appearances transforming into different kinds of grotesque monsters as a result of his greed.

Background

Pigma Dengar was previously a member of the original Star Fox team. When the team was sent in to investigate Andross's growing fleet, Pigma betrayed the team for money, which lead to the presumed death of James McCloud. Due to formation of a new Star Fox, Pigma joined the Star Wolf team. Years later in Star Fox 64, the Star Wolf team encountered Star Fox on Fichina while leading a fleet of Venomian ships, at which point Pigma targeted his former wingmate, Peppy Hare. Despite their advantage, the Star Wolf team was defeated. They fight again on Bolse, only to lose yet again. After most of Andross's forces had been defeated, Star Wolf arrived to defend Venom and were defeated a final time.

Afterwards, Pigma Dengar was kicked off the team because his immense greed disgusted the rest of the team. He took to flying alone, finding valuables to sell. This led him directly into trouble with the Aparoids on Katina in Star Fox Assault. As a result he issued a SOS that inevitably ended up having the Star Fox team show up to save him. However, he in turn stole the Core Memory left behind by one of the Aparoids. He was afterwards chased by the Star Fox team, but only as he began to fall under the control of the Aparoids. He was finally absorbed completely into the Aparoids, transforming him into a giant space monster. He was defeated by the Star Fox team and seemingly died as a result of bonding with the Aparoids.

Pigma's spirit survived, however, and presumably using the remains of his monstrous self created a new form that consisted of four massive cubes, and in this form he appears in Star Fox Command. Pigma sought revenge against Star Fox (though he was willing to spare or even assist Star Wolf) at Sector X if Falco decides to search for Krystal, or at Sector Y if Wolf steals the neutralizing device from Fox and Falco. Either way, the attack prevents the respective characters from participating in the attack against the Anglar empire.

Trivia

• He and Krystal are the only characters to have been in both Star Fox and Star Wolf.
• His surname, "Dengar", is actually a reference to the Kansai dialect which he speaks with in the Japanese version, in which people often end their sentences by saying "dengar" (rather than being named after a Star Wars bounty hunter as commonly believed).
• A sticker of Pigma from Star Fox Assault appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and a trophy appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U.
