Fookes Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 So... I was looking up kitsune masks out of boredom and I eventually come across this... Pretty creepy, huh? ... ...Wait a minute. That mask reminds me of something!! Oh. My. God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snys93 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) ... Doesn't even look like a Fox, more like Wilford Brimmley in mid metamorphosis. Idk you tell me. Edited May 29, 2017 by Snes1993 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 The similarities end at them both having an open mouth and angry expression. Now if only someone could show Nintendo what a fox looks like instead of them seemingly basing Fox on a Shiba Inu... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if only someone could show Nintendo what a fox looks like instead of them seemingly basing Fox on a Shiba Inu... But, then again, it's Japanese.... I mean, if the design for Falco got shifted for some reason to Amaerica, we could expect him to look more like an eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZ-469 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 That's why I think that the Adventures-Fox is the best one in appearance. Was that company, which worked on Command, Japanese too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fookes Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 I also found this kitsune mask on Google images. I really do think that Fox's design was at least partially based off of Kitsune masks, especially when you look at the shape of the mouth and the position of the ears. Cool and creepy at the same time... XD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ala1n-J Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 You guys have it all wrong. I know the real inspiration behind Fox's design : ... Couldn't resist. XD 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vy'drach Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 But, then again, it's Japanese.... I mean, if the design for Falco got shifted for some reason to Amaerica, we could expect him to look more like an eagle. Well, he's based on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-throated_caracara But was apparently supposed to be a pheasant originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vy'drach Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I was being hypothetical. And I was more or less disagreeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I mean, Star Fox was inspired by the Inari shrine right? Isn't Inari a kitsune? :Y And falco is visually based off the Japanese Pheasant but he probably isn't literally a pheasant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
