In the ''Dissidia Final Fantasy'' sub-franchise, the moogles' appearance 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. In ''Dissidia Final Fantasy NT'' and ''Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia'', the moogles' design is modified to resemble their ''Kingdom Hearts'' appearance more closely.

In ''Dissidia Final Fantasy'', the Moogle appears as [[w:c:finalfantasy:Moogle (Summon)|a summon]]. The moogle appears in a cutscene upon acquiring its summon during the "[[w:c:finalfantasy:Inward Chaos|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.

In ''Dissidia 012'', 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's character. In the game's bonus storyline, "[[w:c:finalfantasy:Confessions of the Creator|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 [[w:c:finalfantasy:Feral Chaos|Feral Chaos]], the game's superboss. Along the way, the moogle begins to recover its lost memories, and eventually reveals itself as [[w:c:finalfantasy:Cid of the Lufaine|Cid of the Lufaine]], the mastermind and overseer of the [[w:c:finalfantasy:Cycle (term)|cycles of war]], shapeshifted into the form of a moogle.

After [[w:c:finalfantasy:Kuja/Dissidia|Kuja]] arrives to save Terra and Zidane from [[w:c:finalfantasy:Emperor Mateus/Dissidia|Emperor Mateus]] and [[w:c:finalfantasy:Sephiroth/Dissidia|Sephiroth]], Terra and a moogle persuade Kuja to join their party to find the summons. Once Materia's and Spiritus's champions defeated [[w:c:finalfantasy:Shinryu (Dissidia)|Shinryu]], the moogles give a crystal to each of the warriors to host their memories to create doppelgängers of themselves to serve the gods in the new cycles of wars, while the real warriors are returned to their homeworlds.

In ''Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia'', a moogle named [[w:c:finalfantasy:Mog (Opera Omina)|Mog]] appears as a non-playable character in the game's storyline. He is described to be an "ancient moogle" who acts as the guardian spirit of the world Materia and Spiritus created to allow their champions to rest after their battles in World B. One day, dimensional distortions known as [[w:c:finalfantasy:Torsion|Torsion]]s appear, threatening the world's equilibrium and unleashing hordes of monsters across the lands. In order to restore the world's stability, Mog volunteers to recruit warriors who bear the light to close the Torsions before the world is destroyed. Initially appearing as a subordinate to Materia, it is later revealed that Mog is secretly working alongside Spiritus for unknown reasons. Over time, the warriors begin to question Mog's motives, sensing that they are being manipulated by him for some unknown agenda.

The [[w:c:finalfantasy:Moogle (race)|Moogle]]s are a race of small creatures that was spawned from and primarily appears in the ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy]]'' franchise. They first appeared in ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy III|Final Fantasy III]]'', and have shown up in nearly every franchise entry afterward. 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."
