In the Japanese version of Star Fox Adventures, some of the dinosaur tribes have different localized names from their original names. For example, the CloudRunners are referred to as the クラウド族 (Kuraudo-zoku), which translates to "Cloud Tribe". The EarthWalkers are referred to as the アソーカ族 (Asōka-zoku), which strangely seems to translates to "Ahsoka Tribe". "Ahsoka" is a name of Sanskrit origin that means "pure and hopeful".
In Star Fox: Assault's Sauria mission, Peppy curiously refers to the CloudRunner Tribe as just "the Cloud Tribe". This makes more sense when you factor in that that's what they're called in the Japanese version of Star Fox Adventures and thus was what the original script writers for Assault in Japan used as a frame of reference, and it appears that whoever was localizing the script for western audiences didn't bother to change it back to the original Rare name.
Funny enough, in Star Fox Command, Krystal pilots a spacecraft that is both shaped and named after the CloudRunners. In the Japanese version, it actually retains that name, クラウドランナー (Kuraudoran'nā), which means that Command marks the first time Rare's original CloudRunner name was utilized in the Japanese version of these games.
