Mu (creature)

Template:Sideicon

The Mu (ムー, Mū?) is a recurring enemy in the Final Fantasy series after its first appearance in Final Fantasy VI. While its appearance differs with each title, Mu are generally depicted as rodent-like creatures, able to burrow into the ground. They are not strong enemies in the games they appear in.

Appearances

Final Fantasy VI

Mus are rather weak enemies, encountered around the South Figaro and Nikeah areas. The Peeper enemies, fought in the World of Ruin on the Solitary Island, are also extremely weak, and die without having to do anything.

The slightly stronger Knotty, fought in Yeti's Cave, are only mere nuisances, as they can inflict Imp on a party member, but are also rather weak. However, Mus have a very powerful Rage called Snare, which instantly kills an enemy monster, but fails on enemies immune to instant death and those that float; on the plus side, it works on undead enemies.

Final Fantasy VII

Mus are encountered in the Chocobo Farm area, where the player can learn the Enemy Skill L4 Suicide. They are generally very weak enemies otherwise, as the most damage they can do is around 150–200, which is easily healed from, and they even sometimes heal a party member with Hot Springs or add 10 Gil to the Gil counter after battle whenever they use Gold Mountain. A slightly stronger version, the Trickplay, is found around the Bone Village area, but fights the exact same way as the Mu.

Mus are mentioned the Brain Blast minigame in Academia even though they do not appear in the game. It is revealed that the Sanctum decided against creating bioweapons out of mus because they would not be taken seriously by enemy soldiers.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles

Mus are easily some of the very weakest monsters in Crystal Chronicles. They dig out of the ground at any given moment, then attack. They attack by swiping at the player, then running away for a moment, then returning and swiping at them again. Snow Mus and Lava Mus are just the same, except slightly stronger and they are weak against Fire and Blizzard, respectively.
