By the time Sora awakes from his slumber, Moogles are once again running shops on most worlds, using holograms everywhere but Radiant Garden and Twilight Town. Each Moogle names their shop after themselves:

Template:Enemy Moogles are creatures that appear in each of the Kingdom Hearts games, always running one of the game's shops.They generally operate their omnipresent stores through holograms, instead of in person, as they hate getting their pom-poms ruffled.[1] 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; the Moogle Shop in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is even available in Mission Mode, in the main menu. 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.

Story

For further information regarding Moogle Shops in the stories of various games, please see Moogle Shop.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Moogles run Command Shops on all but two worlds, but use holograms for each of them except the Radiant Garden shop, which is run in person. At the Mirage Arena, the resident Moogle instead runs a "Medal Shop", where the Medals earned from the world's mini-games can be used to buy rare items and commands.

Kingdom Hearts

Moogles appear only in Traverse Town, refugees from the destruction of their respective home worlds. After Sora uses Trinity Ladder in the Accessory Shop, he opens a path to the Moogles' Synthesis Workshop, where the Moogles take his synthesis items in order to craft various recovery items, accessories, and weapons.

According to the Moogle in the First District, Pinocchio enjoys ruffling the Moogles' pom-poms.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

Moogle Room (card).png

Memory-based Moogles appear in special "Moogle Rooms", which are generated by the Map Card of the same name. These Moogles sell Sora various packs of cards in exchange for the Moogle Points he finds throughout the castle.

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

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

A Moogle wearing a Black Coat enjoys a business relationship with Organization XIII. However, it holds no loyalty to them, and ends up following his best customer, Roxas, when the latter flees from The World That Never Was to Twilight Town.

Kingdom Hearts II

By the time Sora awakes from his slumber, Moogles are once again running shops on most worlds, using holograms everywhere but Radiant Garden and Twilight Town. Each Moogle names their shop after themselves:

Data-based Moogles appear throughout the Datascape to run most of the realm's Shops. They sell various command, accessory, and finisher chips.

Other appearances

Kingdom Hearts II

Selphie's purse has a Moogle clip attached to it. There is also a special Gummi ship modeled after a Moogle.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

In the Jump Festa 2012 trailer, a Moogle was seen floating next to Rhyme in Traverse Town.

Dissidia Final Fantasy

A Moogle as it appears in 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.

Moogles also show up to send letters to the player through the Mognet. These letters often reward the player with prizes.

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

"Time for some moogle magic. Kupo!"
—Mog

Mog, a main character in Final Fantasy XIII-2, is based on the Moogle's Kingdom Hearts design, albeit with a crystal "pom-pom", a smaller nose, and a bigger head. He carries a staff with a clock design, and can transform into Serah Farron's bowsword. He was given by Lightning via Noel as "a good-luck charm".

Appearance

Moogle (Art).png

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 II, the hologram for Mogtaro, the Timeless River Moogle, appears in monochrome like everything else in that world, making him one of the few Moogles to be visually distinctive.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, the only Moogle to appear dresses in its own black cloak. 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.

Origin

The Moogles are a race of small creatures that was spawned from and primarily appears in the Final Fantasy franchise. They first appeared in 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."

Each of the Kingdom Hearts II Moogles is named after a notable Final Fantasy Moogle. Most of them are named after Moogles from the Mognet in Final Fantasy IX.

Notes and references

  1. ^ Kingdom Hearts II, Jiminy's Journal: "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."
