French Frirus is a subject that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is an artificial disease created by Dr. Ivo Robotnik in an attempt to defeat the Knothole Freedom Fighters.[1]
Description[]
The Frirus consists of tiny robotic germs that attack the immune system of their victim. The artificial disease consists of three components:
- Paris-Site: The leader of the French Frirus is a frog-like beret-wearing parasite named Paris-Site, who prefers not to do the dirty work himself. Instead, he uses the other two components of the disease work for him. Once beaten up, he can dispatch them with one hit form his "Microbe-Bar" crowbar.[1]
- Fever: A living flame that serves as one of Paris-Site's henchmen. It keeps the Freedom Fighters sick by raising their body temperature, letting his boss take over. Physical contact is nigh impossible without burning oneself. Without his boss, however, Fever becomes a coward.[1]
- The Foreign Lesions: Sores that line the membrane walls who also serve as Paris-Site's bodyguards. When an intruder comes across, they burst, spewing disgusting puss all over the intruder.[1]
History[]
Let's Get Small[]
When the Freedom Fighters ordered from Robotnik's restaurant, McRobos, he sprinkled the parasites onto some deep-fried potatoes. Once the group ate the French Fries from the restaurant, they became deathly ill, as their Auntie Bodies were not strong enough to fight the disease. All of the Freedom Fighters, except Sonic the Hedgehog, along with some other residents of Knothole, ate the tainted food. After hearing Rotor's explanation, Sonic shrunk himself to microscopic size and entered Rotor's body to fight the Frirus himself.[1]
The Foreign Lesions attacked sonic with their puss, but Sonic destroyed them with one Sonic Spin. He was then attacked by the Paris-Site and Fever. Before the Paris-Site could hit Sonic with a final blow, Rotor's Auntie-Bodie swiped his bar and defeated the leader with her cane. Sonic's unselfish actions against the Frirus gave Rotor's Auntie-Bodie the courage to fight back. With the leader defeated, Sonic managed to run around Fever, creating a vortex that extinguished it. Rotor's Auntie Bodie then communicated to the Auntie-Bodies of the other Freedom Fighters to dispatch their Paris-Sites. The Frirus was defeated, and the Freedom Fighters recovered.[1]

Trivia[]
- The name French Frirus is derived from the names french fries and virus.
- Similarly, the name Paris-Site is derived from Paris (the capital of France) and parasite (Paris-Site's beret is a traditionally French item of clothing). The Foreign Lesions are named after the French Foreign Legion and lesion, which is a wound or a localized abnormal bodily change.
