What is a Moogle, kupo? Aw do I really need to say kupo all the time, kupo? Alright, fine, kupo… Moogles are fluffy little friends, kupo! They are pretty ubiquitous in FF games, so much so that they might even be considered the mascot of the series, kupo, chocobos notwithstanding! Moogles have different properties in different games kupo! But Moogles often only say “kupo”, kupo! Or they interweave that into their normal speech, kupo! Moogles have little baubles that float above their head from a wire-like antennae (Usually called a pom-pom), and cute little bat wings, kupo! Moogles make for good friends, kupo!
Physical Description: Moogles are generally short in stature, no taller than 3 and a half feet, and are always covered in a layer of fluff. It is common to see thicker areas in a variety of patterns. All moogles also have small, bat-like wings in contrast to their fluffy selves, and a pom-pom atop a stalk on their heads.
Society: Moogle society varies from region to region. The three most common types of moogle society are hidden villages, outwardly social with any and all races, and hidden across the land, only coming out when needed and they want to.

Names: Moogle names of both genders are usually plays on the words Moogle, Mog, Pom-Pom or similar, or names from their adopted cultures. Other notable names include Montblanc and Hurdy, for inspiration.

Hauling Practice: Chalice Keepers treat their strength as 3 higher for the purposes of carrying capacity. This replaces nimble fingers.
Favoured Class Bonuses
Bard: Add +5% to the chance that being stunned, dazed or knocked unconscious causes you to lose your stored verses one round later, rather than instantly.
Beastmaster: Add +1/3 to ride checks when riding a creature from their menagere.
Black Mage: Add +1 to the Black Mage’s Aetheric Reservoir capacity. This can be taken before the Black Mage gains the class feature, but does not do anything until then.
Knight: Add +1 to the number of rounds the knight may remain in defensive stance each day.
Red Mage: Add +1/4 of a point to the red mage’s arcane pool points.
Thief: Gain +1/2 on the Disguise bonus from dual identity or on disguise checks when using a thief talent in their social identity.
Warrior: Reduce the penalty for using weapons designed for a creature one size category larger than the warrior by -1/4 (To a maximum of -0). When the penalty is at -0, the warrior may choose to take the -2 penalty anyway to instead not increase the amount of effort the weapon takes to wield (Two-handed medium weapons may be used. This penalty cannot be reduced by continuing to take this bonus). Weapons that require a specific ability score to avoid a penalty on the attack roll (Such as a butchering axe or split blade sword) cannot be wielded this way. (Taking this favoured class bonus more than 8 times does nothing).
