“Stick to the pond, froggie!”
—97 Andrew

Andrew Oikonny, usually called only by his surname, is the nephew of Andross and his successor to the empire. Despite being a highly inexperienced pilot, he was originally part of the the Star Wolf team of Space Pirates which consisted of Pigma Dengar, Leon Powalski and Wolf O'Donnell as the leader. He formed a rivalry with Slippy Toad during the Lylat Wars. Believing himself to be the one true heir to the throne of the Venomian empire, his dream is to gain the favour of his Uncle Andross.

Biography[]

Andrew's history before the Lylat Wars is unknown other than his relationship to Andross. Allegedly, his favorite book was the Apes of Wrath. Andrew was an inexperienced pilot who only flew to try to follow in Andross' footsteps. It is shown that he and Slippy had a minor rivalry with each other, as other members had rivalries with other Star Fox members. Unlike the others', Andrew's conflict with Slippy had a foggy background. Andrew was similar to Slippy in that they are both below-average pilots. However, Andross made Andrew a Star Wolf pilot to keep him out of his own business, and because he wanted nothing to do with him, presumably because Andrew wasn't much of anything, evident by the fact his piloting skills are on par with or worse than Slippy's, and he wasn't very good at fighting, either. While inexperienced, he was still regarded to as a fearsome pilot because of the Wolfen he was given by his Uncle.

In the Comic[]

Andrew appears in the Lylat Wars Comic, where he is the first of the Star Wolf Team to make the ambush attack on Fox at the Asteroid Belt, using a disrupter torpedo. He is beaten back by the Star Fox team, forcing him to retreat back to Venom and crash landing. At Andross's Palace, Andrew and Pigma shiver in fear of the Emperor's fury and blame each other mockingly for their failure at stopping Star Fox. Andrew and Pigma then swear to take revenge for their humiliation or else Andross will have them vaporized. They later attack the Star Fox team again and manage to cripple their Arwings as they drop towards the surface of Solar. Their success is short lived when Katt Monroe appears and takes the Arwings up in her tractor beam, to which Pigma and Andrew angrily attack the Catspaw. However, Wolf appears on the scene and open fires on Pigma and Andrew. When Andrew questions why Wolf is turning on his own teammates, he reasons that they acted without his approval and they don't deserve to be on his team anymore. Wolf also reasons that Fox is his rival and their grudge has not yet been settled.

Trivia[]

  • The Lylat Wars Comic depicted both Oikonny and Pigma being booted off from Star Wolf because they disobeyed orders by Wolf O'Donnell via attempting to kill Fox McCloud and the other Star Fox members behind Wolf's back. The "Assault" instruction manual also supported the story of Oikonny being kicked out of Star Wolf, yet it is not directly stated in the game why he left Wolf's team or if it involved a similar incident with Pigma. According to his Smash Bros. for Wii U trophy, the reason given is that his boastful and arrogant attitude despite being an unskilled pilot is what made Wolf kick him out of Star Wolf.
  • When shot down by the Aparoid, Andrew Oikonny says "Uncle Andross!" He said the same thing when defeated at Fichina and Bolse on "Star Fox 64".
  • Going by Andrew being Andross's nephew, and Dash being Andross's Grandson, Dash and Andrew would most likely be First Cousins Once Removed.
  • His surname is a pun on the Japanese word for nephew, 甥っ子 (Oi-kko).
