Fronk

9-Volt's pet Fronk in WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania, then known as Shag.

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.

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.

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 player plays a microgame that involves blowing into the microphone. The player must not blow until the microgame ends. If do so, the microgame is won. However, if the player blows in the microphone a single second, the Fronks will fall and he/she will lose the microgame.
