Space Characters are the Birds seen in Angry Birds Space. The first name that was known was "Lazer Bird" from the file name of images added to the Angry Birds Google+ page on February 17, 2012. The "Ice Cube Bird" was mentioned in passing by a Rovio employee at SXSW but could be merely colloquial. The true bird names were later revealed via AngryBirdsNest and The Daily. Every bird (except the Space Eagles) resemble a different Marvel or DC Comics character.

Red Bird
Red Bird is the classic Red Bird. When pulled through the wormhole into the new Space environment, he found himself outfitted with the Über Mask. His mask resembles those of Wolverine and Batman. The mask has the ability to lock-on to and zoom in on pigs and unknown objects, even from a far distance (as seen in the beginning comic of Utopia). In the game, if Red is near a pig (or several pigs) in a gravitational force and the screen is tapped, he will emit a cry and the pig(s) will get an expression of fear on their faces.

Lightning Birds
 Lightning Birds are the classic Blue Birds. They have the powers to break ice and triplicate, as in the classic Angry Birds game. They are commonly placed after an Ice Bird due to their great compatibility. Their helmets resemble that of The Flash.

Fire Bomb Bird
Fire Bomb Bird is the classic Black Bird. His power to incinerate anything within a radius of his body is called "heat shock wave." His coat, skin colors and powers resemble Firestorm. If he stays out too long without hitting an object, he will explode automatically.

Terence
Terence is the original Big Brother Bird, but now green in color instead of red like his smaller twin, the Red Bird. Terence is capable of immense destruction due to his size and girth. His new skin color and large size resembles the Hulk. His Noise ability, unlike the Super Red Bird, has a roaring noise like Hulk. Another feature Terence has in Angry Birds Space is the ability the scare multiple Bad Piggies unlike the Original Big Brother Bird.

Lazer Bird
Lazer Bird is the classic Yellow Bird. In the game, Lazer Bird's abilities are similar to Yellow Bird, with a slightly different control method. Instead of the player tapping the screen to increase speed, tapping now chooses a directional target. Laser Bird will turn at a sharp angle and accelerate toward the chosen target, ignoring gravity until hitting something. However, he cannot follow a moving target. His goggles resemble those of Cyclops.

Ice Bird
Ice Bird is an extraterrestrial companion to the Flock once they arrive in Space. He convinces the Flock to help him in his quest to recover the Eggsteroid. He is intent on saving his home planet from the Space Pigs, but Red is convinced he can help get them home. His power is to freeze enemies solid in an icy explosion. His powers resemble those of Iceman.

In the game, Ice Bird freezes an area upon impact. Ice Bird explodes a couple of seconds after impact with any piece of structure, and covers the surrounding blocks and piggies with ice, making them brittle and easier to break. If the screen is not tapped, Ice Bird will hesitate for a few seconds, still turning surfaces it touches into ice; making the Ice Bird a technical variation of Bomb. The Ice Bird's explosion doesn't damage any regular blocks or pigs, but it will set off any explosive objects in range.

Orange Bird
The Orange Bird was released on July 26, 2012 as a new character in Utopia. His costume resembles that of Firestorm, similar to Bomb, but his ability resembles Lagoon Boy. So far, he hasn't made his appearence in cutscenes, yet.

Noises
Pullback sound: nothing

Launch: Same as the classic Orange Bird but with an echo.

Tap screen: Puff noise

Space Eagle
Little is known about the history or origins of the Space Eagle. The Space Eagles play a similar, but slightly different role than the Mighty Eagle. Space Eagles can be summoned using Sardine Cans, just like the Mighty Eagle. When the sardines are launched, a space warp will appear and the Space Eagle will do some damage to the level. The player then continues to play the level as normal with the remaining birds. An Eagle Highscore still appears.

Unlike the Mighty Eagle, there are no time restrictions on use, and you can use several per level. You can earn them through gameplay achievements, and they’re available as an in-app purchase on iOS and Android via the Android Market (Google Play). Space Eagles are also given to you every 24 hours.

Tip: When you get 100% Total Destruction on all the levels of an episode, 3 feathers will be presented in a bubble as a special item. Behind the feathers, or background of the bubble in technical terms, is a glowing color that signifies which episode you got 100% Total Destruction on. So far the glowing colors are: Pig Bang: Green, Cold Cuts: Turquoise, Fry Me to the Moon: Blue, Utopia: Unknown, and the Danger Zone: Red.

If you look in the birds game sprites on Angry Birds Space's files for PC, you can see the Space Eagle in the sprite sheet along with the other birds. This could mean that the Space Eagle might come to PC in the future, but this still isn't confirmed.

The Space Eagle somewhat resembles a raven or crow with it's purple plumage. It also has two plume feathers on top of it's head. The Space Eagles beak appears to be strongly curved, but thats to be expected. Space Eagles appear much larger than the Earth-going Mighty Eagle but are much weaker. Many people are not happy with this and wish that the Space Eagle be swapped with the Mighty Eagle; others just want the Space Eagle to be more powerful with no alteration to the Mighty Eagle.

Space Egg
The mysterious egg is shown in several Cutscenes for Angry Birds Space, appearing with the Flock. It has the appearance of a normal, white egg, but with an antenna, which may have been from transformations, just like the others. This appears to be a sentient egg, as with the Boy and Girl Eggs. It appears in level 3-10.

This Egg has appeared in the cutscenes in Fry Me to the Moon and Utopia

In addition to appearing in cutscenes and level 3-10, the Egg also appeared as a Special Item Sluble when players get 3 Stars on all the levels in Fry Me to the Moon.

On the Angry Birds Facebook Page, it shows a picture of the egg in the middle of a "black hole" like background with two pigs scared while inside their bubbles while the other pig frozen and with Utopia treats floating around.

The Space Egg was finally realeased as a character on July 26,2012 along with the Orange Bird as part of the "best update ever". If you get 3 stars on every level in a page, an "egg" level will open up. All of these contain the egg as a "bird". It is weak in power, but can create a small but very powerful black hole that appears on screen for a short time. It can suck in pigs and throw small blocks around.

Space Pigs
The Space Pigs appear to look like Earth's Bad Piggies. How they came to be in Space or got their updated equipment is unknown at this time. It is known that the Space King used his UFO's grabbing claw to steal eggs which caused the Flock to follow the claw through the wormhole and end up trapped in the world of Space.
 * Small, Medium,and Large Pigs - Footsoldiers of the Space King
 * Helmet Pig AKA Major Pig - Wears a metal helmet and used to be seen guarding the Pig Fortress on Earth
 * Mustache Pig - The right hand pig of the Space King. He's the oldest of the Pigs. His first and latest appearance as a boss is on the episode Fry Me To The Moon, and level 3-10 as he floats along with the Space Egg he captured right next to him.
 * Space King - The King Pig, now in Space. Space King has a UFO with grabber claws and appears to be responsible for the Flock getting pulled through the wormhole into Space. It was the Space King's idea, while still the King Pig to steal eggs from the Birds in the first place. As Space King, he has some new goals, including stealing the Eggsteroid and continually feeding the Fat Pig. He first appears as a boss battle in level 1-30 in a UFO Tank and then in Cold Cuts level 2-30 in a UFO Spaceship.
 * Fat Pig - Fat Pig combs the Universe looking for cosmic food to continually increase his size. He is massive with spots on him similar to the Big Brother Bird. The description of the Fat Pig according to The Daily is: "As ravenous as he is disgusting". He also appears on the episode "Cold Cuts" title screen. His first appearance in game is in level 4-10 (Utopia) as a regular character. He is smaller than he is in 2-20. Despite his extreme size, he is easily popped. On the Angry Birds Facebook Page, a picture shows that the Fat Pig has grown more larger because of it eating more Utopian food and if you look closely on the picture, you will see some satellite with other Utopian Food being eaten by the Fat Pig. Another thing to note about the Fat Pig is that he resembles the original/old designs of the Bad Piggies than the Angry Birds Google Chrome design. The REAL Fat Pig, which is the Fat Pig from the beginning cutscene, awaits you on level 4-30, in which he is enormous and serves as a boss. To beat the REAL fat pig, hit the rocks, popcorn makers to burn the popcorn, or use Terence, the Orange Bird's Ability or Bomb's Ability to weaken him while he tries to suck everything in his mouth. He won't eat the birds, but the Red, Blue, Lazer, and Ice Birds won't do any damage while he sucks everything in his mouth. When you defeat the REAL Fat Pig, he will pop and the eggsteroid from the beginning cutscene is rescued, which means that the REAL Fat Pig managed to eat the eggsteroid before the boss fight. In the ending cutscene, the REAL Fat Pig now looks like one of the regular pigs, only it still has its spots. After level 4-10 of the first world of Utopia Fat Pig now appear as common enemies just like the Bad Piggies do in the second and third world until the boss fight. He also appears as a common enemy in some of the Space Egg Bonus Levels. Some of the levels have more than one Fat Pig.
