'''Franky''' is a [[Boo]] in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He is named after {{wp|Frankenstein's monster}} from the {{wp|Mary Shelley}} novel ''{{wp|Frankenstein}}''. An inhabitant of [[Boo's Mansion]], Franky first appears after [[Lady Bow]], the mistress of the mansion whom Franky has a crush on, joins [[Mario]]'s party. Aside from mentioning his affection for Bow, Franky offers no real advice to Mario except that he can use the [[Boo's Shop|shop]] in the mansion before he sets off to fight [[Tubba Blubba]].

In a sidequest involving delivering [[letter]]s, Mario and [[Parakarry]] can deliver a letter to Franky from [[Little Mouser (character)|Little Mouser]], the owner of the shop in [[Dry Dry Outpost]]. After receiving his letter, Franky will give Mario and Parakarry another one to be delivered to [[Dane T.]] of [[Toad Town]], the letter being an invitation inviting Dane T. and his friends to Boo's Mansion.

One of [[Koopa Koot]]'s favors involves asking for an [[Old Photo|old photograph]] depicting a younger Koopa Koot that Franky possesses. Before giving Mario the photo, Franky will tell him that it was taken when Koopa Koot passed through the area, also stating that Koopa Koot has a habit of manipulating people.

==Tattle==
*"''The Boos in this mansion are all big fans of Bow. This Boo is no exception, but he's also interested in the outside world.''"
