Peppy's last name suggests that he is a hare, yet he is actually a rabbit. He has long ears, large incisors, and a country accent that seems to mellow out in each game as he gets older. In all games, he wears a long trench coat with a long collar, with inner-clothing similar to Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi and Slippy Toad's except that it is red in color. In later games, he grows a white mustache. Peppy's original character artwork had brown fur in the original Star Fox and Star Fox 2 as well as the Nintendo Power comics, but not in the actual game Star Fox game. As of Star Fox 64 and onwards, Peppy is now grey furred, but has brown fur as of Star Fox Zero, which is a likely reference to his original, realistic character artwork in Star Fox and the unused design in Star Fox 2.
