'''Moogles''' are creatures that appear in each of the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' 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.<ref>'''''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.

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.

==Appearance==
In ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Moogles run synthesis shops where [[Sora]] or [[Roxas]] can [[synthesis|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]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', they sell Deck Commands.

Moogles generally 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.

A moogle owns a shop in [[Daybreak Town]] and trades [[cards]] for [[Moogle Point]]s, tickets or special fruits with Player. He appears in several Story Quests, usually asking Player to help eliminate [[Heartless]] for him, and he is central to the [[Moogle O' Glory]] sequence of Special Quests.-->

Moogles run Command Shops on all but two worlds, and 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.

In ''Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia'', a moogle named {{ff|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 {{ff|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.

{{ff|Mog (Final Fantasy XIII-2)|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 {{ff|Serah Farron}}'s bowsword. He was given by {{ff|Lightning (Final Fantasy XIII)|Lightning}} via {{ff|Noel Kreiss|Noel}} as "a good-luck charm".
