Mog (Final Fantasy XIII-2)

a character

Mog is a supporting character in Final Fantasy XIII-2. Unlike other Moogles, he has a crystal in place of a pom-pom. Sent by Lightning along with Noel Kreiss, Mog is given the task to look after Serah Farron as she begins her journey. Mog can not only transform himself into Serah's bow/sword weapon, but he can use his magic to execute the Mog Clock pre-battle system and detect hidden treasure chests on the field with Moogle Hunt. In the case of the latter, Mog is thrown by Noel and Serah towards out-of-reach areas through the Moogle Throw. In the Japanese version, Mog is voiced by Sumire Morohoshi.

Development
Mog was designed by Toshitaka Matsuda, who was the Lead Art Designer of Final Fantasy XIII. His design was chosen over other possible designs made by various members of the development team. It was based on the idea of a "baby Moogle" with exaggerated features.
