The Defense-Class Arwing would have been a larger, slower version of the Arwing used by Peppy Hare and Slippy Toad in the unreleased Star Fox 2. It shares little resemblance with the actual Arwing. This craft lacked speed, but made up for it with defense. Its default special item is the heart, which restores shielding. The class of ship has never officially appeared in any other game in the Star Fox series.
