Moogle O' Glory





Moogle O' Glory is one of 's Keyblades in Kingdom Hearts χ.

Kingdom Hearts χ
Shortly after Player explores Beast's Castle, they return to Daybreak Town to find that the Moogle shopkeeper is attempting to make a powerful new weapon based on the Keyblade, and is testing it out against local Heartless. However, the prototype is a taped-together wooden contraption that falls apart on its first swing, so the Moogle flees for its life, leaving behind the Ripe Kupo Nut it used as a Keychain token. As the Heartless attack Player, the Kupo Nut attaches to their Keyblade and transforms it into the Moogle O' Glory. After the Heartless is defeated, the Moogle allows Player to test out the Keyblade for as a "free trial" to strengthen it, though reminds them that they must return the Moogle O' Glory once the trial period is over. When the Moogle tries to reclaim the Moogle O' Glory, it magically returns to Player, with Goofy noting that it has chosen Player as its master, much to the Moogle's dismay.

Design
The Moogle's wooden Keyblade is designed to resemble the first iteration of the Starlight Keyblade. Rather than one solid piece, the Keyblade is made from several individual scraps of wood that have been affixed together by various methods. The teeth, bound to the shaft with rope, are formed from a crudely-nailed five-pointed star, with a spike on the other end. The shaft is joined to the guard with tape, and the guard is made from five pieces nailed together. The handle is wrapped with tape, and painted on the shaft is a Moogle's face. The Keychain is made of small, green leaves, and the token is a Ripe Kupo Nut.

Unlike most Keyblades in Kingdom Hearts χ, the Moogle O' Glory's design only has minor differences depending on the upgrade. All stages share the appearance of the default design, which has a simple, metal handle with no visible pommel. The guard is formed from two open tomes, one on each side, with their loose pages flowing from each of them and meeting at the pommel. The base of the blade is a small, opened treasure chest, and the shaft is formed from a jet of air propelling a pair of Lux from the chest. The teeth are formed from Daybreak Town's Moogle shopkeeper, who is holding onto the Lux. The Keychain is made of small, green leaves, and the token is a Ripe Kupo Nut.

The first upgrade has a polished shine in several places that causes small starburst lens flares.

The second upgrade causes much more prominent lens flares due to its radiant light.

The third upgrade gives the Keyblade such a shine that it appears as outright beams of light with showers of stars.

The fourth upgrade causes the beams and stars to shine in a pastel red, blue, and green, the colors of the various Medal attributes, lighting up the guard and blade. There are also yellow stars and Lux surrounding the Keyblade.

The Moogle O' Glory's name is a reference to the various Moogle-related motifs from which it is formed, as well as its radiant, glorious appearance. Its initials spell out "Mog", a common Moogle name.
