"Moogie"

- Only my place serves cooked testicles.

Moogie is a friendly worker at the restaurant Riko visited in Ilblu. They explained the nature of Ilblu's language to Riko and taught her a few phrases, as well as pointing Riko towards where she might be able to find Reg and Nanachi.

Appearance
Moogie wears a hood on top of her head, with two tentacles sticking out on both sides. According to Riko, they can see and move on their own. Moogie has a line running through her eyes and a mouthpiece-like structure beneath their mouth. Moogie wears a big apron with a ribbon on it. They have four legs, which resemble octopus legs.

Personality
Moogie is very open and direct due to interacting with many different customers. Moogie is also very patient, as is seen when they explain the Narehate language to Riko.

Early Life
Moogie settled into the village a long time ago, but was not part of the original group becoming Ilblu' s first inhabitants.

Ilblu Arc
When Riko eats at the Narehate Restaurant, Moogie is pleased Riko enjoys the food and tells her trivia about it as well as about the village. Moogie also casually introduces Wazukyan in the conversation to Riko.

Later on, Moogie teaches Riko the basics of the narehate language. When the Fuzosheppu attacks the village, Moogie is one of the villagers trying to fend it off. After the battle is concluded Moogie notices they have never seen Vueko before in the village and questions her about her identity. When Vueko tells her story, Moogie is surprised by its revelations.

Both Majikaja and Moogie become a bit sad and nostalgic when Wazukyan says the village is the homeland of the ones with no place to go to, and admit they dream of continuing their adventure in the Abyss.

Moogie, addressing Wazukyan, tells him while they would like to venture in the Abyss again, it would be unfair to force Riko to make such a wish, to which Wazukyan replies that nobody is forcing Riko and it is a decision only the ones challenging the Abyss can make; namely Riko's group. Before anyone else can say something, Juroimoh shows up and starts attacking.

After Reg's battle against Juroimoh, he asks Maaa, Majikaja and Moogie to keep Riko safe, just before Faputa arrives.

As Moogie, Riko and Reg watch the destruction of the battle unfold, Moogie is saddened by it but also conflicted with their urge to want to touch Faputa.

When Faputa tries to attack Riko, Moogie and other villagers try to protect her.
