CloudRunner
- This article is about the Dinosaur Tribe. For the ship by the same name, see Cloud Runner.
The CloudRunners are one of the two ruling tribes of Sauria along with the Earth Walkers, and are based of prehistoric flying reptiles knows as pteranodons. Their ancient domain is known as CloudRunner Fortress, which was taken over by General Scales who used it as his base. The CloudRunners are a peaceful tribe as many are seen flying around various areas of the planet, although not appearing to make much contact with the other tribes. Chief LightFoot does not call them by the name of the tribe, but instead just calls them birds. The CloudRunners do however, have a close relationship with the BoneHeads, or at least some of them, as one of them named Gradabug is their chief engineer, which could mean that the CloudRunners are not capable of maintaining the fortress themselves. They are ruled over by the Queen CloudRunner, but they do not appear to have a king, suggesting a matriarchal society.
In Star Fox: Assault, when questioned about the absence of the CloudRunners from Sauria during the Aparoid Invasion, Peppy Hare mentions that the tribe is extremely proud, implying that they stood and fought rather than take refuge, and suffered heavy casualties.
