'''Krystal''' is a fictional [[fox]] character created by Nintendo and Rare for the Nintendo 64 game ''[[Dinosaur Planet]]''. Her role in that game was intended to be a playable primary character, but in the revolutionary introduction of the Nintendo GameCube, her role changed. The game ''Dinosaur Planet'' was scrapped and its elements were modified and altered into ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''. Her playable status was made short and she became the "damsel in distress" in the game who was trapped because she could channel spirits.

Her popularity has been noticed by Nintendo, and in a joint cooperation effort with Namco, she became a primary character in the [[Star Fox]] universe. Krystal's role was advanced when Namco gained permission to reuse her in the video game ''Star Fox: Assault'' as a pilot and a playable character in the multiplayer mode. It is in this game that it was introduced that she was a telepath, a fact that was not all too useful in the game, but was used as a cutscene plot device to launch a mission. It also confirmed the romantic connection between her and Star Fox leader, [[Fox McCloud]].

In the game ''Star Fox Command'', it is revealed that Fox and Krystal's relationship blossomed, but Fox was concerned over Krystal's safety and asked her to leave the Star Fox team; upset over his decision, Krystal left Fox and hadn't been seen since. During the course of the game, it was discovered that Krystal joined the Cornerian Army as a pilot, and during the Anglar invasion, joined Star Wolf. The game features multiple, conflicting endings, some of which show Krystal staying with Star Wolf and starting a relationship with Panther, another has her renaming herself Kursed and becoming a bounty hunter after being driven out of the Lylat System under accusations of betraying Fox. Even more endings have her rejoining Star Fox; one of the endings shows her and Fox settling down to start a family, having a son named Marcus. An interview with two of the game's producers, Q Games' Dylan Cuthbert and Nintendo's Takaya Imamura, suggest that ''none'' of the endings are considered canon, and that any sequel will ignore them.<ref> [http://ds.ign.com/articles/731/731088p2.html]</ref>

Outside of video games, she is a fairly popular and common character in so much [[erotic]] [[furry art]].<ref>[http://images.google.com/images?q=krystal+furry&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi A Google Image Search locates pornographic art in its inital results]</ref> She is often paired with many crossover characters from other fandoms, and the most popular pairing is when Krystal is intimately depicted with [[Renamon]], a fox-like, female [[Digimon]] (though in some cases, such as in artwork done by [[Yawg]], the two are depicted as rivals).

==Trivia==
{{WikiFurNews|'Krystal sandwich' meme strikes Fur Affinity}}
Fan research has uncovered several pieces of deleted audio that show that Krystal would have had a bigger role in ''Star Fox Adventures'' than in the finished game. These include Krystal shouting warnings to Fox, asking Fox why he saved her without knowing who she was, and even stating that she would join the Star Fox team if Fox would kiss her. It has also been discovered that Krystal's messages to Fox when he finds her staff were originally in English.

An internet meme based on Krystal, trying to eat a sandwich is called "[[Krystal can't enjoy her sandwich]]".
