Tricky (トリッキー Torikkī) is an EarthWalker (or a triceratops) from the planet Sauria and serves as Fox McCloud's companion in Star Fox Adventures, inwhich Tricky performs different tasks for Fox when fed GrubTubs (mushroom-like food). He can open small caves and act as a flamethrower, among other abilities.
'''Tricky''' is an [[EarthWalker]] and heir to the throne of [[Sauria]], the son of the King and Queen of the EarthWalker tribe. When [[Fox McCloud]] came to the planet to stop it from breaking apart and exploding, Tricky was saved from the [[SharpClaw]] tribe, loyal to [[General Scales]], and remained with Fox throughout his journey, serving as his constant companion and eventual friends. Tricky did his duties well (in exchange for a fair amount of [[GrubTubs]]), and uses his abilities to ensure Fox could complete his mission.


During the time of Star Fox Adventures, Tricky was a prince; he is the son of the King and Queen of the EarthWalker tribe. He accompanies Fox to save his imprisoned father, who was trapped within the Walled City.
Tricky and Fox parted ways when, journeying to the broken-off section of Sauria that held the [[Walled City]], where the King was imprisoned, Tricky remained behind when Fox journied back to Sauria to finish saving the planet. Tricky was saddened by his departure, though Fox cheered him up by giving him an official place on the [[Star Fox Team]].


His second appearance is in Star Fox: Assault. Tricky has physically matured (now large enough for both Fox and Krystal to ride comfortably), and is now the King of the EarthWalker tribe. After Fox and Krystal save his kingdom from the Aparoids, he promises to help repair Sauria (and also embarrasses Fox by both jumping on top of him and mentioning a honeymoon for him and Krystal).
After the crisis ended and Sauria saved, Tricky physically matured, and eventually became King of the EarthWalker tribe in his father's place. His kingdom came under assault from the [[Aparoids]], though Tricky was able to get most of his people to safety, while the Star Fox Team arrived and defeated the invaders.


He was voiced by Kevin Bayliss in Star Fox Adventures, and Chet Morgan in Star Fox: Assault. In the Japanese version of Assault, he has a somewhat deep, teenage-sounding voice and is voiced by a currently-unknown seiyu.
Once the dust had cleared, Tricky was ecstatic to greet his friend Fox again, along with [[Krystal]], who had also helped in saving Sauria when Fox first arrived on the planet. Fox motivates Tricky to repair Sauria, and Tricky resolved to do so, so Fox and Krystal could come back on their honeymoon. This embarrased Fox, who while having feelings for Krystal (which she returned and found the idea of a honeymoon enticing), and he and Tricky had a semi-playful argument as they departed back towards the city.
 
Tricky was possibly based on a triceratops character of the same name, appearing as a boss for the Dino Domain stage in Diddy Kong Racing, also made by Rare. It is also possible that the Tricky of Star Fox Adventures and Diddy Kong Racing are the same since both games were made by Rare although the former is more likely a reference to the latter; when Fox first hears Tricky's name in Star Fox Adventures, he reacts with surprise then sarcastically comments "Nice name!", suggesting that this is an in-joke from the programmers.

Tricky is an EarthWalker and heir to the throne of Sauria, the son of the King and Queen of the EarthWalker tribe. When Fox McCloud came to the planet to stop it from breaking apart and exploding, Tricky was saved from the SharpClaw tribe, loyal to General Scales, and remained with Fox throughout his journey, serving as his constant companion and eventual friends. Tricky did his duties well (in exchange for a fair amount of GrubTubs), and uses his abilities to ensure Fox could complete his mission.

Tricky and Fox parted ways when, journeying to the broken-off section of Sauria that held the Walled City, where the King was imprisoned, Tricky remained behind when Fox journied back to Sauria to finish saving the planet. Tricky was saddened by his departure, though Fox cheered him up by giving him an official place on the Star Fox Team.

After the crisis ended and Sauria saved, Tricky physically matured, and eventually became King of the EarthWalker tribe in his father's place. His kingdom came under assault from the Aparoids, though Tricky was able to get most of his people to safety, while the Star Fox Team arrived and defeated the invaders.

Once the dust had cleared, Tricky was ecstatic to greet his friend Fox again, along with Krystal, who had also helped in saving Sauria when Fox first arrived on the planet. Fox motivates Tricky to repair Sauria, and Tricky resolved to do so, so Fox and Krystal could come back on their honeymoon. This embarrased Fox, who while having feelings for Krystal (which she returned and found the idea of a honeymoon enticing), and he and Tricky had a semi-playful argument as they departed back towards the city.
