StarFox 64 Boss Designs

Personal interpretations for the first 4 bosses of StarFox 64. All of them, save for the big green lizard guy, appear helmeted and shadowy on the communications screen, so they were essentially designed based on what I could see of their faces and their outfits, and the rest of the inspiration came from their personalities and actions in-game. 2 of them have alternative outfits, one that resembles their appearance in StarFox Zero, and the other representing their original appearance in StarFox 64.

Star Fox belongs to Nintendo.

Mort (short for Mortimer) Granga, pilot of.... the Granga mech. Of course. He is an orange howler monkey. He isn't a particularly skilled pilot, but his loyalty to Andross is unrivaled by any of his other henchmen.

Granga's design is surprisingly consistent between all 3 games! The only difference I could pinpoint was his helmet color, which appears half pink & purple in some games and solid purple in others.

Armando Copper, the pilot of the Attack Carrier! He is a giant monitor lizard. His only sprites always show him facing forward, making him look almost like he has a human face. I know he's a lizard though, and it's really a snout.

Gil Galaxicos, pilot of the Meteo Crusher! His last name is... half canon. It was revealed in the Lylat Wars manga, which Isn't really the best retelling of StarFox 64, but it is the only media featuring Galaxicos that gives him a name, so I'm using it.

SF 64 inspired outfit. I think Gil is probably a spider monkey, making him the lankiest of the group.

Shawn Warren, pilot of the final Shogun Mech in Sector Y. He is a golden lion tamarin, so he's the shortest of this bunch of characters at least. I thought that'd be a funny juxtaposition with his deep, manly voice.

SF64 outfit. It's more realistic for him to have short hair that fits cleanly under his helmet, but... I couldn't resist giving him a mane in his standard design.
