Frackle

Frackles are dimunitive, robotic beings which are produced by Fracktail and, like him, they were presumebly made by the Tribe of Ancients.

In Super Paper Mario, Mario, while riding the back of Fracktail, who had gone on a malfunction-induced rampage, encountered Frackles, who would try to attack him. Mario, in order to harm Fracktail, had to use Thoreau's ability to pick-up creatures, to throw Frackles at Fracktail's antenna.

After being hit multiple times by thrown Frackles, Fracktail would be defeated and explode, possibly causing any remaining Frackles to detonate with him.

Trivia

 * Oddly, Frackles have a minor resemblace to Cataquacks, having similar body shapes and beak-like mouths.
