The Sky Claw is a modified Arwing and Falco Lombardi's personal starfighter. It resembles the Arwing II, but it has very high speed and maneuverability, it is sleeker, and has broader wings with claw-like tips, which are directed forward rather than the traditional swept-wing design for most starfighters. It is armed with a Single Laser like the Arwing II, however, it only has one Smart Bomb for the payload and a Multi-Lock. Despite the limitation of armaments, it proves to be a very formidable ship. Its low health is its sole weakness, but this is somewhat compensated by its high Boost/Brake/Roll fuel. The ship is on a large amount of Star Fox Command's missions as Fox McCloud ran into Falco on numerous story paths. Following the Star Falco ending, it became the team's answer to the Star Fox team's Arwing.

Trivia
The Sky Claw fittingly shares similar traits as Falco from the Star Fox: Assault multiplayer, seeing as both perform a high top speed but suffer from low health.
The feathered fingers on the Sky Claw's wings later reappeared in Star Fox Zero on the transformable Walker's feet.
The incidental musical theme that plays when controlling the Sky Claw was set to appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl under the name: The Loner, Falco Lombardi, but was cut from the final game.
