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 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.

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
Moogles run shops in various worlds. They sell both items and Deck Commands to Terra, Aqua, and Ventus.

A Moogle also appears 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
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
Moogles appear in "Moogle Rooms", special rooms generated by the 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 objects, 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.

On their way out of the Neverland floor, Donald Duck is struck by a falling Moogle.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days


A Moogle appears in the Grey Area in The World that Never Was and the Station Plaza in Twilight Town, wearing a Black Coat. The Moogle sells various Panels and items for Heart Points, but also assists Roxas with item synthesis, and redeems his Challenge Sigils and Mission Crowns for various prizes. While the Moogle has a business relationship with Organization XIII, he holds no loyalty to them, and ends up following his best customer, Roxas, when the latter flees The World That Never Was.

Moogle Shop
All of the tables are sortable, allowing you to find out what is available when, and also when any given item becomes available. You can also use the tabs to narrow down the lists to the individual subgroups.

Buy
This is a list of everything that you can buy from the Moogle Shop. The "currency" used for purchases is Heart Points.

Synthesize
This is a list of everything that you can synthesize at the Moogle Shop. All Item and Magic Panels can be synthesized repeatedly, whereas Ring Panels can only be synthesized if you don't already have one. The currency used for synthesis is Munny. Items and spells that require a recipe are added to the list as soon as you obtain at least one copy of the recipe. {|cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 align="center"


 * }

Redeem
This is a list of everything that you can obtain at the Moogle Shop by collecting Challenge Sigils and Mission Crowns. The Redeem option is not unlocked until the first time you talk to Xomg from Day 71 onwards. You don't cash the Sigils/Crowns in to trade for the items; you just obtain the items when you have enough Sigils/Crowns. Not all rewards are available initially, so you have to wait until the rewards are unlocked to actually get them, even if you have the requisite number of Sigils/Crowns. Obviously, the number of available Sigils/Crowns is limited by the number of Unity Badges and Ordeal Badges/Blazons  you have, which in turn largely depends on what Day you have reached in Story Mode.

Kingdom Hearts II
Moogles run their synthesis shops in many worlds, offering to synthesize items to make new ones. Moogles usually operate their shops using holograms because they, according to Jiminy's Journal, supposedly hate getting their pom-poms ruffled. The only exceptions 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:


 * 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

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 with Item Synthesis. 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.

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.

Dissidia Final Fantasy


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.

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 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.

Final Fantasy XIII-2
In the Final Fantasy XIII-2's E3 trailer, a Moogle that is based on Kingdom Hearts's 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 Serah use for combat.
