Oglop

The Oglop is a small insect-like creature in Final Fantasy IX. Oglops are generally considered to be pests. The Tantalus Theatre Troupe uses oglops to distract Steiner while they are kidnapping Princess Garnet by letting loose a bag of them in the engine room of the Prima Vista. The Regent of Lindblum, Cid Fabool IX, was turned into an oglop by his wife, Hilda.

Most girls in Gaia are scared of oglops, this is one of the things which Princess Garnet had to learn when she tried to conceal herself as a commoner while in the village of Dali, she sees one on the old womans farm and holds it. When the old woman seems perplexed by the idea of a girl liking oglops, Garnet screams and tosses the insect away.

Oglop oil is one of the most popular medicines on the market, and along with mountain oglop oil is sold by Milla's Oil Shop in Lindblum. A female red mage, visiting the city for the Festival of the Hunt, considered buying some as a souvenir but decided that it was too disgusting. In Conde Petie, seasoned oglop is considered a delicacy, at least by the dwarf Bryan Rootrunner who lamented the fact that oglops could only be found on the Mountain Path.
