Stiltzkin is a recurring moogle in the Final Fantasy series. A traveling moogle, he can be identified by his golden fur. Stiltzkin speaks unbroken English, and rarely, if ever, says "kupo".
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy IX[]
Stiltzkin makes his initial appearance in Final Fantasy IX, wearing a leopard skin hood and carrying a bag full of supplies.
During Vivi's exploration of Alexandria at the start of the story, he meets Stiltzkin while being introduced to the save feature. The player later meets Stiltzkin numerous times who always has things to say and sell.
Stiltzkin sends letters to the other moogles throughout Gaia the player can read via Mognet. These letters usually bring the player up to speed with the goings on of minor characters.
Stiltzkin offers to sell the group three items for a set price. He claims the gil enables him to continue his journey, but regardless of whether one buys the items or not he continues to travel and sell the items at each location. Therefore it is not mandatory to buy the items if one wants to keep meeting Stiltzkin.
Stiltzkin will give the party a Ribbon if the party purchases all of his items in the North American and European versions, but does not do this in the original Japanese version. In the latest releases, buying all of Stiltzkin's items yields the Driving the Hard Bargain achievement/trophy. The Ribbon Stiltzkin gives in the North American and European versions does not award the player any Treasure Points, which means the Japanese, North American and European versions have the same total number of collectible Treasure Points.
If the player's inventory is full of any one item on Stiltzkin's item pack, he will not sell the items to the party. For example, if the player already has 99 Ethers, Stiltzkin will not sell his item pack that contains Ethers unless the player discards an Ether from the inventory.
