  |journalSS='''The Moogles'''<br>A strange race that seems to pop up just about anywhere.<br><br>In Castle Oblivion, the moogles run shops where Sora can trade in unwanted cards.

'''Moogles''' are creatures that appear in many 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]]'', ''[[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.

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 Point]]s he finds throughout the castle.

The moogles continue to run shops in various worlds. The moogle shop in Twilight Town's [[Tram Common]] (the same one that appeared in ''Kingdom Hearts II'') is the only one to be run by a physical moogle, while holographic moogles continue to operate at least two shops per world.

===''{{ff|Dissidia Final Fantasy}}''===

====''{{ff|Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008)|Dissidia Final Fantasy}}''====

In ''Dissidia Final Fantasy'', the Moogle appears as a {{ff|Moogle (Summon)|summon}}. The moogle appears in a cutscene upon acquiring its summon during the "{{ff|Inward Chaos}}" storyline. If the summon is acquired while playing as {{ff|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.

Moogles also show up to send letters to the player through the {{ff|Mognet (Dissidia)|Mognet}}. These letters often reward the player with prizes.  

====''{{ff|Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy}}''====

{{Q|KP (kupo) is the source of this world's energy. We moogles collect it. See there? It's a Moogle Shop!|{{ff|Moglin (Dissidia)|Moglin}}, explaining "KP" to Lightning.}}

In ''Dissidia 012'', it is stated that the moogles are the only species in the world aside from {{ff|manikin}}s, 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, "{{ff|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 {{ff|Feral Chaos}}, the game's superboss. Along the way, the moogle begins to recover its lost memories, and eventually reveals itself as {{ff|Cid of the Lufaine}}, the mastermind and overseer of the {{ff|Cycle (term)|cycles of war}}, shapeshifted into the form of a moogle.

Like in the first ''Dissidia'' installment, moogles send letters to the player through the {{ff|Mognet (Dissidia 012)|Mognet}} and offer rewards to the player.

====''{{ff|Dissidia Final Fantasy NT}}''====

In the game's storyline, the moogles serve as guides to Terra and {{ff|Zidane Tribal/Dissidia|Zidane Tribal}} in their quest to gather {{ff|Summon (Dissidia NT)|summons}} to learn more about the new gods, {{ff|Materia (Dissidia)|Materia}} and {{ff|Spiritus}}, who reign over the revitalized {{ff|World B}}. After {{ff|Kuja/Dissidia|Kuja}} arrives to save Terra and Zidane from {{ff|Emperor Mateus/Dissidia|Emperor Mateus}} and {{ff|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 {{ff|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.

====''{{ff|Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia}}''====

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.

The {{ff|Moogle (race)|Moogle}}s are a race of small creatures that was spawned from and primarily appears in the ''{{ff|Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy}}'' franchise. They first appeared in ''{{ff|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 {{ff|Mognet}} in ''{{ff|Final Fantasy IX}}''.
