'''Pigma Dengar''' was an original member of the original [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]] team. He first appeared in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', where prior to the game's events, Pigmar betrayed [[James McCloud]] and [[Peppy Hare]] during a mission on [[Venom]]. He became a member of [[Star Wolf]] due to his interest in money, although prior to the events of ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', [[Wolf O'Donnell]] expelled him because of Pigma's greedy and untrustworthy nature. Pigma Dengar appears as a final boss in ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', albeit with his form warped.

'''Pigma Dengar''' was a member of the [[Star Wolf|Star Wolf Team]]. He was originally a member of the original [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox Team]], however, on their assault of [[Venom]], he betrayed them, killing [[James McCloud]] and injuring [[Peppy Hare]]. [[Wolf O'Donnell]] later expelled him from the Star Wolf team due to his extreme greed sometime before ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]''. In ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', he has a cameo appearance as a boss.


== Appearance ==
== Appearance and personality ==
Pigma is shown in most games to be a short, fat, and obnoxious pig with sadistic tendencies, as he gleefully accepted any chance to kill his former teammate [[Peppy]] without remorse. In [[Star Fox: Assault]], he is shown to have gained a considerable amount of weight and was shown to have three claw marks on his forehead, these can be assumed to be [[Wolf O'Donnell]]'s, most likely when he was banished from Star Wolf.

Pigma was originally a member of the original Star Fox team. Obsessed with greed, he accepted a job from [[Andross]] to betray his team. He did just that and, while Peppy escaped, James was killed. He later joined up with Wolf O'Donnell's team, Star Wolf.

Pigma first appeared with the other members of Star Wolf on [[Fichina]]. At the time, the Star Fox team was busy with a bomb about to blow up a base. Star Wolf's mission was to distract Star Fox so the base would blow. Pigma chased Peppy throughout the battle due to the history between the two. Pigma and Star Wolf appeared again as the final line of defense before [[Venom]] if Fox's team went to [[Bolse Defense Satellite]].

If Fox's team went through [[Area 6]], Pigma and the rest of of Star Wolf were the last line of defense for Andross's lair itself instead. Pigma now flew a [[Wolfen|Wolfen II]], which had far superior targeting and maneuvering systems. But like the dogfight on Fichina, Pigma was defeated by Fox and his team.

Nine years later, the Star Fox team responded to a distress call on [[Katina]] during the [[Aparoid]] invasion. When the Aparoids were cleared, the distress signal ended and Pigma emerged from the base. He stole the Core Memory that Fox was attempting to retrieve and flew off with it.

Later on Fichina, Pigma was revealed to be the one behind the climate  control center being shut down. He activated the climate control device once Fox brought it back up and had it infected by and Aparoid. He used it as a distraction to escape. As he traveled to the asteroid belt, he began to show the first signs of Aparoid infection. When the Star Fox team next found him, his ship was floating pilotless and he was out in the vaccuum of space next to a huge weapon. His lower half had been fused into the center of the weapon and was then completely absorbed into the machine. With this fusion, Pigma's mind was assimilated into the weapon's AI and was soon destroyed by the Star Fox team.

==Battle patterns==
In his ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'', and ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' appearances, ''Pigma Dengar'' has only one attack: trailing behind someone and shooting them. This can be easily avoided by somersaulting over his ship. His appearances in ''[[Star Fox Assault]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Command]]'' give him new battle patterns to suit his new forms. In ''Star Fox: Assault'', he attacks more like the [[Gorgon]] does, attempting to claw and slash at the Arwing with his six arms during his first phase, then firing missiles and a titanic laser in his second phase. In his ''[[Star Fox Command]]'' appearance, Pigma fires lasers and may even fire a projection of his face.
