Moogle

The Moogle is a recurring creature of Final Fantasy, Square Enix's role-playing series. It first turned up in Final Fantasy III in 1990, designed by Koichi Ishii: white fur, small bat wings, a pom-pom on a stalk, and a habit of saying kupo.

What makes Moogle stand out

• Drawn before it was designed. Ishii built the creature from drawings he made in elementary school, imagining an all-white koala with bat wings that could inflate itself to float. The name is read as the Japanese words for bat and mole.
• It talks. Moogles speak, which the Chocobo does not. Their cry settled into kupo by Final Fantasy V in 1992, and they keep in contact through a network called Mognet.
• Amano fixed the silhouette. Yoshitaka Amano redesigned the Moogle for Final Fantasy VI in 1994, adding the slit eyes and the pom-pom antenna. Later artists, Toshiyuki Itahana and Ryoma Ito among them, worked from that.
• Named moogles keep coming back. Mog is a party member in Final Fantasy VI and returns in Final Fantasy IX and XIII-2. Montblanc runs the clan in the Ivalice games, and Final Fantasy XIV has Good King Moggle Mog.
