'''Moogles''' are creatures that appear in | '''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. Maybe that's why the moogles use holograms to run their shops now, while they kick back at home."</ref> In ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', they run synthesis shops where [[Sora]] or [[Roxas]] can [[Item 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]]'', 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== | |||
[[File:Moogle (Art).png|left|50px]] | |||
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. | |||
