Fronk



Fronks are small creatures from the WarioWare series. They appear in many colors besides the most common color, yellow. The name Fronk presumably refers to both the species and the character, 9-Volt's pet Fronk. In his first appearance in WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania, he goes by the name of Shag in the English version, which is derived from his Japanese name Shaggy. Since WarioWare: Twisted!, however, he has been known as Fronk in English, due to the world "shag" doubling as a vulgar slang term for sex in British English.

They appear in various microgames in every installment of the series. In WarioWare: Twisted!, Fronk has his own Fronk-themed microgames that are shorter than the other games, but they appear randomly in any of the stages instead of Fronk having his own stage.

In WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, Fronks appear in 18-Volt's stage, acting like enemies.

Trivia

 * They are shown in the background of the microgame "Sole Man" for the WarioWare, Inc. stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
 * Fronks also have their own microgame in WarioWare: Touched!. It only appears whenever the players play a microgame that involves blowing into the microphone. The players must not blow until the microgame ends. If they do so, the microgame is won. However, if the players blow in the microphone at all, the Fronks will fall and he/she will lose the microgame.
 * In the Album, this microgame will be played after the main microphone microgame is played 5 times. This also applies to the boss microgame, Seedy Area.
 * The Factory on WarioWare: Smooth Moves is very similar to a Fronk's head.
