Star Fox franchise strategy guide/Characters/Beltino Toad



Beltino Toad is the Research Director for the Cornerian Defense Forces in the |Star Fox series of video games and is also Slippy Toad's father.

Beltino previously (and may still) worked for Space Dynamics Co. Ltd. as an engineer, and may have been the designer of the /Vehicles/Arwing. He and his son were also the two that created the Blue Marine vehicle that Starfox used in Star Fox 64 to explore the planet of Aquas.

Beltino was first mentioned in the Star Fox 64 Player's Guide, but did not make an in-game appearance until Star Fox: Assault.

In Star Fox: Assault, it was Beltino who discovered two things that led to the destruction of the Aparoids: that they could have programs executed in them and that they were susceptible to apoptosis. He then coded a program that activated the apoptosis gene in the Aparoids. The program was carried by Fox McCloud to the Aparoid Homeworld where it was injected into the Aparoid Queen.
