'''Fronks''', also referred to as '''mini Fronks''',<ref>"''Save the mini Fronks from a perilous fate by blowing into the mic, or doing nothing at all!''" — '''[[Tread Carefully (microgame)|Tread Carefully]] description''', ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''</ref> are small creatures from the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. They appear in many colors besides the most common color, yellow. They appear in various [[microgame]]s in every installment of the series. The most prominent of the Fronks is [[9-Volt]]'s pet, [[Fronk]].

==History==
===''WarioWare'' series===
====''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!''====
[[File:WWIMM SoleMan.png|thumb|Differently colored Fronks in Sole Man]]
In ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'', Fronks appear in the microgames [[Sole Man]], [[Blow Hole Bridge]], and [[Find My Behind]].

====''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!''====
In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', Fronks appear in the ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'' microgames as well as the [[Wobbly Bobbly]] microgame Allergies Return.

====''WarioWare: Touched!''====
Fronks have their own microgame in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' called [[Tread Carefully (microgame)|Tread Carefully]]. It only appears whenever the players play a microgame or a stage that involves blowing into the microphone. The players must not blow until the microgame is over. If they do so, the microgame is won. However, if the players blow in the microphone at all, the Fronks fall and the player loses the microgame. In the Album, this microgame is played after the main microphone microgame is played 5 times. This also applies to the boss microgame, [[Seedy Area]].

====''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''====
Fronks appear in some microgames in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''.

====''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''====
In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', Fronks appear in the microgame [[Garlic/Fronk]].

====''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase''====
In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', Fronks appear in [[18-Volt]]'s stage, acting like enemies. They serve as the numbers in the score and fly in formation during the [[Speed Up!|Speed Up]]. 

====''Game & Wario''====
[[File:GameWario Fronk.png|thumb|150px|left|Fronks in ''[[Game & Wario]]'']]
Fronks have their own multiplayer game in ''[[Game & Wario]]'' called [[Islands]]. In this game, two or more players take turns shooting different colored Fronks on a spinning island. This spinning island is marked with several different sections. The section the Fronk lands on determines the player's score. After five turns, the person with the most points is declared the winner.

A yellow Fronk is also featured in some of the other minigames. In [[Shutter]], taking a photo of him gets 200 points. He appears in a [[Sole Man]] remake in [[Gamer]], as well as [[Allergy Attack]]. In [[Taxi (minigame)|Taxi]], he floats by on a yellow balloon, which can be shot. Should he be taken to the shelter, the player gets 500 points.

According to the "[[Mona]] Superscoop 21", there's a proverb saying "If you see one Fronk, there are probably at least 30 more lurking around nearby", referring to various cameos they make in the game.
