"Moogles are one of the recurring creatures to appear in Final Fantasy games and made their first appearance in Final Fantasy 3. Like the chocobo, moogles were a creation of game designer, producer, and director, Koichi Ishii. Also in similarity with the chocobo, moogles became known as a mascot of Final Fantasy with several pieces of merchandise released and many appearances made since their debut. While their design through the various games have subtle differences, moogles are known for their head-pom, white furry bodies, small wings, and pink noses." - click image for article
