Moogle

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 the player 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 Commands that can be installed on to your Command Deck in holographic versions of their shops. To date, they 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, Moogles run shops in various worlds. This time around they sell not only items, but Deck Commands as well.

They also appear in "Moogle's Medal Shop" in the Mirage Arena. When you set records in the Arena's games, you can get medals and exchange them for rare items in the shop.

Kingdom Hearts
In Kingdom Hearts, they can be seen in Traverse Town after the destruction of their respective home worlds. Later on in the game when Sora uses the green Trinity Mark in the Accessory Shop in the First District, the Synthesis Workshop which is run by some of the Moogles is opened and Sora can then go there to allow the Moogles there to use some of his items to make new ones.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
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. The first time you speak to a Moogle in a new room you will receive a free card packet consisting of five different attack cards.

A Moogle falls on Donald Duck in a cutscene after the player completes Neverland.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days


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 King Mickey and Sora for the Multiplayer Mode from it. It is also unknown whether he holds any allegiance to the Organization or not. At the end of the game, the Moogle flees the Organization with Roxas, saying that he would miss all the munny he spends at his shop.

Kingdom Hearts II
In Kingdom Hearts II, the Moogles now 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. There is also a special Gummi ship modeled after a Moogle. 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. This is also the first game in which the Moogles have names:


 * Twilight Town - Elmina
 * Radiant Garden - Mog
 * The Land of Dragons - Kupo
 * Beast's Castle - Monty
 * Olympus Coliseum - Mosh
 * Disney Castle - Mogjiro
 * Timeless River - Mogtaro
 * Port Royal - Morlock
 * Halloween Town - Gumo
 * Agrabah - Mojito
 * Pride Land - Kumop
 * Space Paranoids - Artemicion
 * The World That Never Was - Stiltzkin

They 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 again to help Data-Sora in Item Synthesis, in a manner similar to the Moogles from Kingdom Hearts. In the game's remake, 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 player'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). They 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 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.

Dissidia Final Fantasy


In Dissidia Final Fantasy, one 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. It 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?"

 * "Your munny will always have a place in my pocket!"
