Final Fantasy/Characters/Recurring Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


This page deals with recurring monsters from the Final Fantasy series.


Biggs and Wedge

Named after Luke Skywalker's Red Squadron wingmen from Star Wars, they rarely play a minor role in games but pop up freqently in supporting roles.

Chocobo

Large birds that are used as mounts, they rarely play a large role in the series but are always in the background as the generic beasts of burden.

Cid

The Cids are a varied bunch in personality, appearance and importance. Inevitably though, Cid is a genius engineer and probably built or owns an airship.

Gilgamesh

The wandering swordsman every fan of the series knows and loves, he began in Final Fantasy V as The Dragon to Exdeath but was cast into the Void Between the Worlds. Since then he's travelled between worlds seeking rare and powerful swords and challenging worthy foes.

Moogles

Fluffy white critters with red wings and a "pom-pom", they appear throughout the series and like Leaning on the Fourth Wall on occasion. Famous moogles include Artimeticon who runs Mognet, Stiltzkin the travelling moogle salesman, and Mog who has varying roles.

  • Berserk Button: They are very sensative about people touching their pom-poms.
  • Breakout Character: They played bit parts in III and V and weren't even in IV. And just look at them now.
  • Catch Phrase: "Kupo!"
    • Verbal Tic: In early games it was all they could say, in later games they can speak English but often end sentences or puntuate words with it.
  • Depending on the Artist: The generic moogle description is "white fur, red wings, pom-pom, smaller than humans". Other than that their appearance varies wildly from game to game.
  • Hidden Elf Village: You'll rarely see any large band of moogles setting down roots near human settlements.
  • Ridiculously Cute Critter
  • The Rival: To the Chocobos.
    • Unknown Rival: But it seems one-sided. In the Chocobo Series for example, Mog is always looking to one-up Chocobo and snatch glory for himself while Chocobo considers him a close friend.
  • Series Mascot

Ultros/Orthros and Typhon

A purple octopus with lots of tentacles and as-many fangs, he and his pal Typhon are always looking to cause trouble.
