Aparoid

Aparoids is a species in the Star Fox video game series. They first and as of yet only appeared in Star Fox Assault for the GameCube where they played the role as the antagonistic beings. Their ruler and ultimately controller is the Aparoid Queen, the final boss of the game. The incredible army composed fully of Aparoid creatures are capable of turning their opponents into Aparoid followers. However, it's harder to do this to living beings, so they mostly corrupt machines.

According to the game, seventeen years preceding the events in Assault, a single member of the Aparoid army took out an entire hoard of Cornerians. At the end of the game, Fox McCloud and team took out the entire race of Aparoids.
