Friendship Fighter - Moomba (Final Fantasy VIII)

Moombas are a possible final stage in the evolving life cycle of a Shumi in Final Fantasy VIII. They are generally used as slaves or laborers and as such are treated poorly by their human masters, however are held highly as an ideal by the Shumi in Shumi Village. Moombas posses red fur covered bodies. Standing at about a meter in height, they get around via running/walking on all fours. Although, when stationary, Moombas can stand on their hind legs gesture with their forepaws. Their paws, both fore and rear, are oversized in comparison to their bodies, with each possessing sharp claws that, coupled with teeth, can be used for defense. Communication wise they are unable to talk to humans although some have been taught a word or two, an expressive body language however manages to convey their meaning to others. They present no difficulty in communicating with other Moombas and Shumi, and can recognize, and maybe track, someone's DNA by licking their blood. As such, they are prone to mistake an individual for someone else due the individuals sharing DNA. Moombas can be summoned into battle if one has the Friendship item, only obtainable with the Pocket Station through Chocobo World. When summoned, it will initiate his powerful attack skill MoombaMoomba to do the physical attack such as slash and kick which reduces one target's HP down to 1. If the target has more than 9999 HP, it will do 9999 damage instead.
