'''Fronk''' is [[9-Volt]]'s pet in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. In his first appearance in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', 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 word "shag" doubling as a vulgar slang term for sexual intercourse in British English. | '''Fronk''' is [[9-Volt]]'s pet in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]].

Fronk is the only main character from ''WarioWare Gold'' to not reappear as a playable character in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', though he does appear as a supporting character in 9-Volt's story. After he and 9-Volt get home from school and are put to bed by 5-Volt, 9-Volt leaps out of bed to show Fronk his new [[Epic Augmented Reality Game]]. Fronk's enthusiastic reaction alerts 5-Volt to the fact that they are still awake, but they hide in bed and are able to proceed playing once 5-Volt has left. In the Variety Pack game [[Frenemy Frenzy]], Fronk appears to notify players when their character is about to be swapped, bidding them good luck afterwards. | Fronk is the only main character from ''WarioWare Gold'' to not reappear as a playable character in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', though he does appear as a supporting character in 9-Volt's story.
