Editing Andross

In-game sprite of Andross from ''Star Fox''.

|universe={{uv|Star Fox}}

Andross was originally the lead scientist of the {{s|lylatwiki|Cornerian Defense Force}} alongside {{s|lylatwiki|General Pepper}}, both having an intense rivalry. Andross primarily focused on weapons for war, of which one experiment ended up destroying an entire city on {{s|lylatwiki|Corneria}}. For this, Andross was banished to the desolate planet {{s|lylatwiki|Venom}}. Years later, rumors popped up that Andross was becoming more active on Venom, so team Star Fox was sent to investigate. During this time, Andross hired Star Fox member {{s|lylatwiki|Pigma Dengar}} to betray and sabotage the team. Pigma's betrayal resulted in the supposed death of {{s|lylatwiki|James McCloud}}.  

However, Andross survived the attack, albeit as a spirit, and discovered the {{s|lylatwiki|Krazoa Spirits}}. Andross learned that if all spirits were to be brought together, he could resurrect himself and continue his plans of conquest. He obtained one of the spirits by tricking [[Krystal]] into handing one over, then trapping her in a crystal to siphon her power for himself. Andross also tricked Fox into releasing all of the spirits so he could capture him and resurrect himself, but Fox defeated him, this time for good. After these events, {{s|lylatwiki|Andrew Oikonny}}, Andross' nephew, attempted to continue Andross' ambitions, even flying a ship that could transform into a form similar to Andross'. This "Andross wanna-be", as Falco derides it, is easily defeated by the Star Fox team. During the battles against the Anglar forces, a holographic projection of Andross claiming to be his ghost guarded his biochemical weapons on Titania.

|desc=Star Fox's archenemy. Whether it's a metallic manifestation of Andross or just a hologram is unknown, but from its outward appearance, it's safe to assume that it's not the fiend's true form. Andross occasionally sucks matter in and then violently exhales, sending out a cloud of metal tiles. Its eyes are its weak points.

|image=Andross (N64) Trophy Melee.png

|desc=This incarnation of Andross was so big as to be ridiculous, but it at least appeared to be a living being. Andross was once a brilliant scientist, but was banished from the galaxy for his dangerous experiments. From the planet Venom, he readied his troops and directed his sword of vengeance toward the Lylat System.

|image=Andross - Brawl Trophy.png

|desc=A brilliant scientist formerly employed by the Cornerian Army. He took his research too far, and the disastrous results labeled him a Level 1 offender, resulting in his banishment to the nearby planet [[Venom]]. After building a base and declaring himself emperor, he swore he would rule the Lylat system. Thanks to [[Team Star Fox]]'s heroism, the madman has yet to achieve this.

===As an Assist Trophy===

Andross reprises his behavior as an Assist Trophy from ''Brawl''. Unlike in ''Brawl'' (where Andross lands in parts of the background that match where he was summoned), he moves to the center of the background, regardless of which part of the stage he was summoned.

|desc-ntsc=A gifted scientist who worked for the Cornerian Defense Force. Banished to the planet Venom for his extreme research methods, he attacked the Lylat System to exact revenge but was defeated by Star Fox. When summoned, he will aid you in battle by spewing polygon slabs from his mouth.

==Trivia==

*Andross, [[Nintendog]], and {{b|Zero|Mega Man}} are tied for having the most spirits for an Assist Trophy with 3 each; in this case, Andross, Andross (Star Fox 64 3D), and Andross (True Form).
