Andross

Doctor Elon Andross, sometimes known as Emperor Andross or Dr. Andross, was the supreme leader of Venomian Empire and mad scientist who was highly skilled in building biotechnology, supernatural powers, and battle tactics. As a lead scientist of the Cornerian Defense Force, Andross specialized in biotechnology and space warps. It is theorized that exposure to his own deadly experiments may have driven him madness. Exiled to the distant penal planet of Venom for his destructive and dangerous experiments with biotechnology, Andross resurfaced as the supreme commander of a seemingly unstoppable military force hellbent on dominating the Lylat System and rebuilding it in his name.

The original Star Fox team was sent to investigate Venom, which ultimately ended badly when Pigma Dengar defected to Andross's side and sent over his friends to the Venomian Empire, resulting in the capture and death of James McCloud. Andross then proclaimed himself emperor of the Lylat System, and began his campaign by invading the neighboring worlds, initiating the Lylat Wars. Striking without warning, his invasion fleets overran the minimal defenses outposts of the many planets in the Lylat System and have even attacked the most populous world in the system, Corneria.

After a new Star Fox team is formed under Fox McCloud, they begin their mission to liberate the Lylat System from Andross. Upon arriving at Venom, Fox engages Andross in a duel. Andross is shown to have apparently experimented with himself and become a giant disembodied head, but Fox was able to defeat him and Andross self-destructs.
