The fongoids are a major species in "Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time", with appearances in "Ratchet & Clank (2016 game)" and the movie. They are a friendly species native to the Polaris Galaxy, living in tribal communities throughout the galaxy on planets Quantos, Zanifar, and Morklon, while historically living on Torren IV.

They have limited technology, having abolished nearly all forms after their abuse of time-travel caused a cosmic temporal disaster, necessitating the creation of The Great Clock, (though they are capable of traveling between worlds). They are known to worship the Zoni, considering them the keepers of time. At one point, they were allied with Dr. Nefarious, unknowing of his evil intentions.
