| '''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.

| 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.-->

| | |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts''=== | | ===''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' [[Item Workshop]], where the moogles will accept his synthesis items in order to craft various recovery items, accessories, and weapons.

| |
| 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.

| A moogle wearing a [[black coat]] has 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]].<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''''', '''Moogle:''' "I couldn't let you leave the castle alone, kupo!

| |
| 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:
| |
| *[[Twilight Town]]: Elmina's Moogle Shop
| |

| Data-based moogles appear throughout the [[datascape]] to run most of the realm's Shops. They sell various command, accessory, and finisher chips.

|
| |
|
| ===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''=== | | ===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''=== |
| Several moogles can be found in the Fourth District of [[Traverse Town]] running the Coliseum, as well as several shops.
| | ''A strange race that seems to pop up just about anywhere.'' |
|
| |
|
| ===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
| | ''In Castle Oblivion, the moogles run shops where Sora can trade in unwanted cards.'' |
| 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.

| | ''A strange race that pops up in even stranger places to open shop.'' |
| 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 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.

| |
| 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.
| | In ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', they can be seen in [[Traverse Town]] after the destruction of their respective home worlds. Later on in the game when Sora uses the green [[Trinity Mark]] in the Accessory Shop in the First District, the Synthesis Workshop which is run by some of the Moogles is opened and Sora can then go there to allow the Moogles there to use some of his items to make new ones. |

| |
| In ''Dissidia Final Fantasy NT'', a moogle act as the in-game tutor, appearing in the battle menu screens and acting as the announcer for the combat system.
| |
|
| |
|
| 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. | | [[Image:Moogle2.png|left]] |
| | In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', Moogles appear in "Moogle Rooms"; a special room generated by a map card of the same name. Inside, [[Sora]] is able to cash in his unwanted cards for "Moogle Points" and is able to spend accumulated Moogle Points on purchasing new card packs. You can also obtain Moogle Points by collecting the red orbs that sometimes appear when you strike things (or even enemies) with your [[Keyblade]]. The first time you speak to a Moogle in a new room you will receive a free card packet consisting of five different attack cards. |

| {{Q|You can count on me, kupo! I shall lead our heroes to the Torsions' epicenter! Together, we will eradicate the threat and bring whoever is responsible for this madness to justice!|Mog to Materia}}
| |
| 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.

| ===''Mario franchise''===
| | In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', the Moogles now use holograms to run their synthesis shops, except for Mog in [[Radiant Garden]] and Elmina in [[Twilight Town]]. According to [[Jiminy's Journal]], it is because they hate getting their pom-poms ruffled. They are all named after famous Final Fantasy Moogles, such as Stiltzkin and Artemicion. There is also a special Gummi ship modeled after a Moogle. |
| A moogle also appears as a playable character in ''{{w|Mario Hoops 3-on-3}}'' and ''{{w|Mario Sports Mix}}'', both of which were made by [[Square Enix]].

|
| ==Design== | | ===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''=== |
| [[File:Moogle (Art).png|left|50px]] | | In [[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]], Moogles appear in [[Organization XIII]] coats. Like the other games, they will help with item synthesis, but it is unknown how this will work currently. |
| 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.

| 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."
