Splunks are a species in WarioWare: Smooth Moves.
Profile[]
Splunks are small, alien-like ancient creatures associated with the Temple of Form. They come in varying colors, such as yellow or pink, and have one antenna surrounded by a ring and having a knob on top.
In WarioWare: Smooth Moves[]
Splunks first appear at the start of Wario's stage, Mysterious Form Baton Found!. In Splunk sneaks into Wario's house while he is eating a pile of snacks, and steals them. Wario angrily chases him through Diamond City until they reach the Temple of Form, where Wario finds the Form Baton. A large boulder crashes down and he runs away. Once he escapes the temple, he decides the Baton will be a part of his next money-making scheme.
In the ending of Orbulon's stage, The Secret of the Balance Stone, when Orbulon tries to rule over Temple of Form as his new spaceship, the Splunks appear, take both the Form Baton and the Balance Stone, and throw Orbulon out.
At the end of Tiny Wario's stage, Forever Form Baton, a group of Splunks confront Wario and demand him to return the Form Baton. They chase Wario over into the Temple of Form, where Wario trips and the Form Baton falls back into its original location. A Splunk left of Wario simply says "Thanks!", and the game's story ends.

Etymology[]
