The Brocks are a sentient species of blocks that first appear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.
History
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey
Only three members of this species appear in Bowser's Inside Story: Broque Monsieur, Broque Madame, and Broggy. A related species known as Blitties also appear.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Along with Broque Monsieur, Broque Madame and Broggy, other members of their kind appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, and two notable Brocks, Brickle and Britta are introduced. It is in this game that the species is first officially named. Notably, many Brocks are seen wearing costumes resembling the Zeekeeper throughout Pi'illo Island.

Trivia
- Brock people seem to have very rigid faces, as they are not substantially emotive. They seem primarily only capable of closing their eyes in most cases. As such, in most cases they tend to express themselves with bodily movement.
- Some exceptions include Broque Monsieur, who can move his eyebrows, and even flip his head upside-down to look angry, Broque Madame, who has large lips and sultry eyes that display a fair number of emotions, and Broggy, who is capable of making aggressive faces at individuals he dislikes.
