When Sora speaks to the Moogle in the First District in Traverse Town, it is revealed that [[Pinocchio]] enjoys ruffling the Moogles' pom-poms.
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', Moogles appear in "Moogle Rooms"; a special room generated by a map card of the same name. Inside, [[Sora]] is able to cash in his unwanted cards for "Moogle Points" and is able to spend accumulated Moogle Points on purchasing new card packs. You can also obtain Moogle Points by collecting the red orbs that sometimes appear when you strike things (or even enemies) with your [[Keyblade]].

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', a Moogle appears in an [[Organization XIII]] cloak. Like in prior games, it aids the player with Item Synthesis. This time, it allows you to change your Item Synthesis material panels into other panels, such as equipment. You also can purchase [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] and [[Sora]] for the Multiplayer Mode from it. It is also unknown whether he holds any allegiance to the Organization or not.

An appearance that is striking is that they change forms as a black and white [[Retro Form]] of a Moogle appears at the [[Moogle Shop]] in [[Timeless River]].

Template:InfoCharacter Moogles are creatures that appear in all the Kingdom Hearts games. In Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts coded, they run synthesis shops where Sora or Roxas can 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.

Journal entries

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.

Appearances

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

File:Moogle bbs.jpg
"Moogle's Medal Shop" in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Moogles run shops in various worlds. They sell both items and Deck Commands to Terra, Aqua, and Ventus.

An unnamed Moogle also appear in the "Moogle's Medal Shop" in the Mirage Arena. When a certain record is set in the Mirage Arena's games, the Moogle will exchange rare items, Deck Commands, and Shotlocks for the earned medals.

Kingdom Hearts

In Kingdom Hearts, Moogles appear 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.

When Sora speaks to the Moogle in the First District in Traverse Town, it is revealed that Pinocchio enjoys ruffling the Moogles' pom-poms.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Moogles appear in "Moogle Rooms", special rooms generated by a Map Card of the same name. Inside, Sora is able to sell his unwanted cards for "Moogle Points", and is able to spend accumulated Moogle Points on new card packs. Sora can also obtain additional Moogle Points by collecting the red orbs that sometimes appear when items, such as podiums, statues, and columns, as well as enemies are struck by the Keyblade. In addition, Sora receives a free card pack consisting of five different attack cards upon entering a newly created Moogle Room.

Furthermore, a Moogle falls on Donald Duck after completing Neverland.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

"My name is of no importance, kupo."
—The Organization Moogle, quoting Xemnas when asked what its name is.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, a Moogle appears in various locations throughout the worlds, always donning a Black Cloak. The Moogle aids the player with Item Synthesis. Specifically, the black coat-wearing Moogle allows Roxas to change his Item Synthesis material panels into other panels, such as equipment.

In order to unlock The King and Sora for playability the Multiplayer Mode, they must be purchased from the Moogle.

While the Moogle appears to hold some relationship to Organization XIII, as exemplified by its black coat, it is unknown if it is affiliated with them. For example, the Moogle flees the Organization with Roxas, saying that he would miss all the munny he spends at his shop, seemingly more interested in simply collecting munny rather than serving Organization XIII.

Kingdom Hearts II

In Kingdom Hearts II, the Moogles use holograms to run their synthesis shops, except for Mog in Radiant Garden and Elmina in Twilight Town. According to Jiminy's Journal, it is because they hate getting their pom-poms ruffled.

The Moogles also appear outside of synthesis shops as well. 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.

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:

The Moogles are all named after famous Final Fantasy Moogles. Most Moogles are named after Moogles from the Mognet in Final Fantasy IX.

Kingdom Hearts coded

Moogles appear as data to help Data-Sora in Item Synthesis. In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Moogles appear as data and sell command chips, accessory chips, and finisher chips to Data-Sora. More items are added according to the Data-Sora's progress.

In Data-Agrabah, the Peddler sells the same items that Moogles sell.

Origin

Moogles are small creatures and a race that originally spawned from the Final Fantasy video game series. They appeared as early as 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."

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 coat. 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.

Other appearances

Dissidia Final Fantasy

"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 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 Terra Branford, she runs towards the Moogle and cuddles him, along with the Moogle telling Terra to stop ruffling his pom-pom.

Quotes

  • "Are you here to shop, kupo?"
  • "Greetings, kupo. What...Is your name?"
  • "...My name is of no importance, kupo."
  • "Your munny will always have a place in my pocket!"
  • "I heard you collapsed, kupo. Gotta pace yourself, kupo. Who else am I going to swindl—talk to, kupo?"
  • "I just got some super-special goods in, kupo. Have a look, kupo."
