'''Space animal''', sometimes contracted as '''spacie''', is a collective slang term that commonly refers to the {{uv|Star Fox}} characters ([[Fox]], [[Falco]], and [[Wolf]]). The terminology arose out of the study of competitive ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', where the stark similarity between Fox and Falco's physical properties (most importantly high [[falling speed]], high [[gravity]], and light [[weight]]) can be exploited by opponents in similar ways, such as in chain throws like {{SSBM|Marth}}'s [[up throw]] [[chain throw]] in ''Melee'' and {{SSBB|Pikachu}}'s [[zero-death]] [[down throw]] chain throw in ''Brawl'', or specialized combos such as ''Melee'' {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}'s [[space animal slayer]]. With the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Wolf became lumped into the group, being vulnerable to many of the same things they are, despite his higher weight. | '''Space animal''', sometimes contracted as '''spacie''' or '''space furry''', is a collective slang term that commonly refers to the {{uv|Star Fox}} characters ([[Fox]], [[Falco]], and [[Wolf]]).

In addition to the three ''Star Fox'' characters, [[Captain Falcon]] also has high gravity and high falling speed. As a result, Captain Falcon is vulnerable to many of the combos and chain throws that afflict the space animals despite his much heavier weight, and is sometimes considered part of the space animals despite not being a ''Star Fox'' character, although he is an intergalactic bounty hunter. | In addition to the three ''Star Fox'' characters, [[Captain Falcon]] also has high gravity and high falling speed.
