'''Moogles''' are creatures that appear in all the ''[[Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' games. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', they run synthesis shops where [[Sora]] or [[Roxas]] can [[Item synthesis|synthesize items]] to make new weapons and armor. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' they sell various cards to Sora in Moogle Rooms and in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' they sell Deck Commands that can be purchased in holographic versions of their shops. To date, Moogles are the only characters hailing from the ''Final Fantasy'' series to have appeared in all released ''Kingdom Hearts'' games.

===''Kingdom Hearts''===

''Escaped to Traverse Town when the Heartless invaded their home. They know how to combine various items to form new ones.''

 

''Many "Final Fantasies".''

===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===

''A strange race that seems to pop up just about anywhere.''

''In Castle Oblivion, the moogles run shops where Sora can trade in unwanted cards.''

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===

''Final Fantasy III''

''A strange race that pops up in even stranger places to open shop.''

''Moogles hate having their pompoms ruffled (don't we all?), but the pompom rufflers just keep coming in droves. Maybe that's why the moogles use holograms to run their shops now, while they kick back at home.''

===''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''===

''A curious clan of cuddly characters who pop up in the darndest places. Any Moogle worth a bean will be more than glad to take items off your hands — or better yet, put them IN your hands after lightening your wallet.''

''In the end, though, they're a welcome help on any adventure, even if nobody has figured out exactly what, you know, they actually ARE.''

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', there are Command Shops run by Moogles on all but two worlds. They generally use holograms, as only the Command Shop at Radiant Garden is run in person. At the [[Mirage Arena]], there is instead a '''Medal Shop''', where the Medals earned from the world's mini-games can be used to buy rare items and commands.  Moogles do not offer synthesis in this game.

===''Kingdom Hearts''===

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Moogles appear only in [[Traverse Town]], after the destruction of their respective home worlds. After Sora uses the green [[Trinity Mark]] in the Accessory Shop in the First District, the Synthesis Workshop, run by several Moogles, is opened. Sora can then go there to allow the Moogles to use some of his items to make new ones.

According to the Moogle in the First District, [[Pinocchio]] enjoys ruffling the Moogles' pom-poms.

===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===

In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', Moogles appear only in "Moogle Rooms", special rooms generated by the [[Map Cards|Map Card]] of the same name.  Instead of offering item synthesis, Moogles in Moogle Rooms allow Sora to purchase cards.

On their way out of the [[Neverland]] floor, [[Donald Duck]] is struck by a falling Moogle.<!--didn't Tink do it or something?-->

===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===

 

 

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Moogles operate their shops using holograms because they, according to [[Jiminy's Journal]], hate getting their pom-poms ruffled. The only Moogles to physically run their shops are Mog in [[Radiant Garden]] and Elmina in [[Twilight Town]].

Like Sora, [[Donald Duck]], and [[Goofy]], the Moogle which appears in [[Timeless River]], Mogtaro, appears in a black and white form at the Moogle Shop, the only Moogle to appear different from the others. However, the Moogles do have distinctive names:

*[[Radiant Garden]]: [[w:c:finalfantasy:Mog|Mog]]  

*[[The Land of Dragons]]: Kupo

*[[Beast's Castle]]: Monty

*[[Space Paranoids]]: [[w:c:finalfantasy:Artemicion|Artemicion]]

*[[The World That Never Was]]: [[w:c:finalfantasy:Stiltzkin|Stiltzkin]]

The Moogles are all named after famous ''Final Fantasy'' Moogles. Most Moogles are named after Moogles from the [[w:c:finalfantasy:Mognet|Mognet]] in ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy IX|Final Fantasy IX]]''.

===''Kingdom Hearts coded''===

In ''Kingdom Hears coded'', Moogles appear as data to help [[Data-Sora]] with Item Synthesis. Moogles appear as data and sell command chips, accessory chips, and finisher chips.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''===

In the Jump Festa 2012 trailer, a Moogle was seen floating next to [[Rhyme]] in [[Traverse Town]].

==Other appearances==

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===

While on Destiny Islands, Selphie's purse has a Moogle clip attached to it. In addition, there is a special Gummi ship modeled after a Moogle.

{{Q|We moogles're generous, kupo. I'll help you out—even if you're with those Chaos creeps, kupo.|The Moogle, when acquired by a Warrior of Chaos}}

In ''Dissidia Final Fantasy'', the Moogle appears as [[w:c:finalfantasy:Moogle (Summon)|a summon]], and is based upon those depicted in ''Kingdom Hearts'', albeit with a comically disproportionate nose, pom-pom and body, and seemingly absent wings, though it still floats. The Moogle appears in a cutscene upon acquiring its summon during the Inward Chaos storyline. If the summon is acquired while playing as [[w:c:finalfantasy:Terra Branford/Dissidia|Terra Branford]], she runs towards the Moogle and cuddles him, along with the Moogle telling Terra to stop ruffling his pom-pom.

Moogles also appear sending letters to the player through the Mognet. These letters often reward the player with prizes.

====''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy|Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy]]''====

In ''Dissidia 012'', Moogles play a much larger role. It is stated that the Moogles are the only species in the world aside from [[w:c:finalfantasy:Manikin|Manikins]], though even the characters do not know how they exist. They operate shops around the world, trading "KP" for equipment with the player character. In the game's bonus storyline, "Confessions of the Creator", the player rescues a "mured Moogle" trapped in the Cavern of the Rotting Land, who then directs them to the Lands of Discord to destroy Feral Chaos, the game's superboss. Along the way the Moogle begins to recover its lost memories, and eventually reveals itself as Cid of the Lufaine, the mastermind and overseer of the cycles of war, shapeshifted into the form of a Moogle.

===''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy XIII-2|Final Fantasy XIII-2]]''===

In the ''Final Fantasy XIII-2's'' E3 trailer, a Moogle that is based on its ''Kingdom Hearts'' design makes an appearance, albeit with a crystal "pom-pom", a smaller nose, and a bigger head. The Moogle is shown to carry a staff with a clock design and can transform into a bow which [[w:c:finalfantasy:Serah|Serah]] uses for combat.

==Appearance==

Moogles in general share a uniform appearance. They are small, white creatures resembling plush toys, with large, spherical heads, small ears sprouting out of the sides of their heads, and stubby hand and feet that lack distinct digits. Their eyes are constantly narrowed into brown slits, giving the appearance of being closed despite having open eyes in the ''Final Fantasy'' series, and their noses are bulbous and pink. Moogles also sport tiny, purple wings like those of a bat on their backs and, perhaps their most distinctive traits, large, red, spherical "pom-poms" on attached to the tops of their heads by a thin, brown antenna.  

In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', the only Moogle to appear dresses in its own black cloak. Its ears are visible poking through the hood, as is its pom-pom. Its hood covers its eyes, and it seems to wear black gloves over its hands.

Moogles are small creatures and a race that originally spawned from the ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy]]'' video game series. They appeared as early as ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy III|Final Fantasy III]]'', and have appeared in nearly every game afterwards. The Japanese name is a portmanteau of the Japanese words mogura (mole) and kōmori (bat), animals that the Moogles display physical traits of. Moogles are known for ending many of their sentences with "kupo."
