List of Final Fantasy species

The Final Fantasy series of video games is a popular RPG series produced by SquareEnix (formerly Squaresoft). Final Fantasy has interest in the furry fandom due to popular animal characters, such as Moogles and Chocobo who appear in nearly every installation of the series, as well as a strong zoomorphic influence in its ninth installation, as well as others.

Chocobo
Chocobo are birds of many colors, but mostly yellow, used primarily as mounts, replacing horses in the Final Fantasy world. Chocobos appear in nearly every game. They are commonly known for their trademark Kweh or Wark noises. While timid in the wild, and vicious if threatened, they tame rather easily and make good transports. Chocobos have occasionally been sighted as lightly armored war mounts in which case they can assist their riders with beak and claw. Most often they can be caught in the wild and ridden without fear of random encounters, escaping after the player dismounts. While ordinary Chocobos are yellow, certain rare breeds are of different colors and have special abilities, such as crossing mountains or flight. An even rarer, more extreme variant is the Fat Chocobo (or Chubby Chocobo), which resembles a morbidly obese yellow chocobo.

Chocobos have a signature theme song that is present in one form or another in every game since the second one. Chocobos also appear in a spin-off series dedicated to them, as well as other Squaresoft and Square Enix games.

Moogle
Moogles are small winged cat-like creatures that appear throughout Final Fantasy games since Final Fantasy III, but have also appeared in many other Square Enix games including the Seiken Densetsu series, the Chocobo game series, and the Kingdom Hearts series.

Moogles' appearances change between games, but almost invariably involve a whitish color, fluffiness, and a red pom-pom on their heads. They are known for their trademark sound kupo, as well as nya, the Japanese form of the word meow, referencing their design evolution from cats.

In Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, they appeared to look more like rabbits than cats, but still had their wings.

Viera
Viera are bunny people from Final Fantasy Tactics: Advance and Final Fantasy XII.

Burmecians
Burmecians, from Final Fantasy IX, are a race of anthropomorphic rats {according to many indications in the game, and by Squaresoft} who mainly live in two cities, Burmecia and Cleyra.

Ronso
The Ronso, from Final Fantasy X, are a race of blue furred, lion-like humanoids who live on Mt. Gagazet, which they consider sacred and guard fiercely. Ronso are formidable warriors, being very tall and amazingly strong, and are known for their strong sense of honor and loyalty, as well as their pride and quickness to anger. The long, sharp horn sported by all adult male Ronso is a symbol of esteem and a source of great pride to the wearer, and to lose this horn is considered extremely shameful.
