Moogle-themed attire has appeared in several of the games, with Final Fantasy X-2 including a wearable Moogle mascot costume for the character Yuna, and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII having a dress made of Moogle dolls. They also appeared in spin-off games such as Final Fantasy Tactics and Crystal Chronicles. Moogles appeared in almost every subsequent Final Fantasy game, with different roles and slightly differing appearances over time. Final Fantasy VI (1994) was the first time a Moogle talked, was a playable character, and had a pom-pom on their head. The first appearance of a Moogle was in Final Fantasy III (1990), as the bodyguards of master wizard Doga.

Typically, moogles are lower-level summon spells acquired earlier in a given game.Īppearances In the Final Fantasy series Moogles are frequently featured as creatures that may be summoned by the Summoner or Caller class of playable characters. A Moogle's favorite food is the Kupo Nut. They tend to end their sentences with "kupo" ( クポー, kupō).
They have small red or purple wings, and their ears are shaped like those of a cat or rabbit. Moogles typically have white fur, and an antenna protruding from the head with a small red or yellow ball (called a "pompom") at the end. Mōguri, the Japanese transliteration of "moogle", is a portmanteau of the words mogura ( 土竜, mole) and kōmori ( 蝙蝠, bat). In Final Fantasy XIV, the "Good King Moggle Mog" boss was created after the fights for the Primals Leviathan and Titan had to be cut from the game due to the earthquake and tsunami in 2011, as the "Tsunami" and "Earthquake" moves they used would have been in poor taste. Additionally, the Moogles were inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, specifically the "Infravision" ability to see in the dark used by non-human races such as elves and dwarves. In an interview with Hiromichi Tanaka, the producer of Final Fantasy III, said that the Moogles were only meant to be a race of cave-dwelling people, and were not originally planned to be series mascots. The creature could float by expanding their body and used their wings to control direction in midair. He stated they were based on a creature idea he drew in Elementary School based on an all-white koala.
Moogles were created by object designer Koichi Ishii, who later became the president of Grezzo. Their original appearance and role was largely praised, although their change in design for the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy sub-series was contentious. Moogles became a popular character amongst fans and critics, and are considered one of the mascots of Final Fantasy. They sometimes provide opportunities to record game progress or access shops occasionally they assist in battle or may even become a playable character. Moogles serve a variety of purposes in the various games in which they appear. They also appear in the Mana and Kingdom Hearts series. Moogles ( モーグリ, mōguri ) are a fictional species of diminutive, sentient creatures and a recurring element of the Final Fantasy video game franchise, starting with their initial appearance in Final Fantasy III.
