Peppy Hare has been one of the the main supporting protagonists of the Star Fox series ever since the first game, so he has appeared in all comics and the "Star Fox Zero" anime.
Comic Appearances[]
Star Fox Comics[]
Peppy appears as a supporting character in the Nintendo Power comics, where the continuity and his looks are based on the SNES era.
N64 Comic[]
Peppy is a major character in the Lylat Wars Comic, filling the same advisor roles he holds in the games. Peppy first rescues Fox from tailing Venomian Fighters on Corneria City. The experienced Rabbit's piloting advice is extended from Fox towards Slippy, who hadn't yet finished the Cornerian Flight Academy before Fox reformed the team, advising Slippy to use a Barrel Roll to shake off his pursuers (this references his popular internet meme). At the Meteo Asteroid Belt, Peppy warns Fox not to be too over confident before just they are ambushed by the Star Wolf Team. Back at the Great Fox's hangar, Slippy asks Peppy about Fox's violent streak towards Pigma, to which he retells the tragic story of the original Star Fox Team. Peppy appears to blame himself for the disappearance of his best friend, calling himself a coward and only hoping that he'll see Jimmy again someday. At Solar, Peppy points out that he has heard rumors of Andross developing a bioweapon and is the only member of the team not to be sabotaged by Pigma's infiltration. Arriving at Venom's surface, Peppy and Slippy are overwhelmed by the Venomian Army and are forced to retreat, but await Fox's triumphant return and they return to Corneria.
Farewell; Beloved Falco[]
During the four years of peace in the Lylat System, Peppy and the rest of the Star Fox team had little in terms of work. They then received a S.O.S. signal from Katt Monroe, and Peppy was unsure of whether to respond to her S.O.S., as she had a criminal record. However, they eventually went to the source of the S.O.S., Titania, due to Falco rushing out to help Katt before a proper decision could be made. They then went over to one of the Titanian research bases, run by Captain Shears. Shears agreed to help Star Fox out to find Falco, under the condition that they stop some Venomian Army remnants who allegedly stole some of Andross's research that the base planned to replicate for peaceful applications. After the Star Fox team fought against the supposed Androssian vessel, as well as Fox getting into a dogfight against Falco, Peppy gave Fox a severe tongue-lashing in regards to fighting Falco, viewing it as irresponsible on Fox's part, asking him what his father would think of him. However, when he learned the reason why Fox got into a dogfight with Falco in the first place, he became disturbed at the implications of what is happening, as well as growing more suspicious of Shear's true motives after realizing that the Titanian base seemed far too quiet for supposedly being in danger and deployed Slippy to investigate because he was too old for active duty and Fox's Arwing was going under repairs. Afterwards, they were hailed by the supposed Venomian Army remnants, who turned out to be Katt's group. After learning that they had stolen some files from the base and planned to leak them onto the black market, although they didn't actually know what was inside the contents of the file, Peppy requested that ROB open the files to see what was really going on. They then learned upon reviewing the files that it was even worse than previously believed: Shears wasn't planning on reviving Andross's research, but Andross himself via cloning. Peppy then realized that he inadvertently placed Slippy in grave danger earlier and attempts to call Slippy back, but learns from ROB that his communication with Slippy was cut a while back. Peppy then acted as the monitor of the mission to rescue Slippy, telling Fox where to go while Katt and her team acted as the distraction. After Fox rescued Slippy and defeated both Shears and a newly revived Andross, Peppy tried to get away from a cloning culture fluid-soaked Slippy.
Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins[]
Peppy searches for something important on Great Fox's bridge.
Peppy appears in a major role during the events of the promotional anime, made for the then upcoming Star Fox Zero, identical to his nagging and irritable manners depicted in the Farewell, Beloved Falco manga.
En route to Corneria from a ten-day flight from Sauria, on Great Fox's bridge, Peppy Hare is searching for something and interrupts the team's travel plans by reminding them they are not on a vacation and moans over the messy state of the bridge from Slippy's toys and that someone made a mess of his desk. Underneath his desk, Peppy finally find his good luck charm; which is a lock of Pepper's fur which he keeps dear as a reminder of their friendship, before finally reminding the team that Andross's army had been at war with the Cornerian army for years, hence why Peppy is irritated that the team are messing around. ROB then reports a distress signal from General Pepper that the Androssian forces are attacking Corneria City. The footage is viewed onscreen while Peppy is noticeably nervous about the appearacne of the warp zone and Pepper wonders about something that Andross dared to rebuild, while Falco ponders why they don't blow the tower up when they caught the army by surprise, which Pepper reveals that they came for him.
The team depart for takeoff, and wonder how Andross's army got past the Cornerian defences, which Peppy knows to be the work of a teleportation device, yet Slippy can't accept Andross to be capable of creating such technology. Slippy then suggests that the crab robots are using bio-tracking tech to find General Pepper and thinks they need to separate his bio-signal from their sights, which Falco thinks is crazy and gives Peppy an idea, pulling Slippy away to the lab.Peppy and Slippy return with two test tubes containing what looks like a D.N.A. strand within, and Fox notices that Peppy's good luck charm is missing the lock of Pepper's fur but they have no time to wait and depart for takeoff, after Slippy insists they wear his new visor headbands.
On Corneria's seas, Peppy then fires the other test tube item out and creates a blast radius which draws the other robots away from the tower, because Slippy used the fur from Peppy's lucky charm to make missiles of Pepper's life signs to draw their targeting away.
Granga hacks into the channel to taunt Fox and the team.
The four Arwing's then use a unified Smart Bomb volley to decimate the enemy fleet until Slippy and Peppy are grazed by impressive firepower coming from the warp portal, which is revealed to be the Androsa]]. Granga interrupts the communications and questions Fox daring to halt his mission and promises to squash them like the insects he thinks they are. Fox orders Slippy and Peppy to pull back and recover and let him and Falco take the ship down. When the Androsa eventually starts to fall, Granga gets ready to takeoff and retreat, cursing the Star Fox team and warning them about Andross hearing what happened and it will be the end of them.
The Cornerian people cheer for the victory and General Pepper thanks Star Fox for saving them once more, and hates to ask for more of them but since there's a battle going on in Sector α and requests urgent back up support from them, however, General Pepper speaks with Peppy on his secret private channel because the discussion is strictly between them concerning that the attack was only the beginning and then discuss the importance of a weapon that Andross dared to rebuild. Pepper asks Peppy to do what must be done when the time comes, but it must kept strictly between them and the team must not find out.
