Funny Final Fantasy homage in Muv-Luv Alternative

[Bowen]

Coeurl is not. A coeurl can be only two things. One fits that image (the Final Fantasy Coeurl), the other doesn't (the Van Vogt Coeurl). Guess what?

Yeah, no.

Coeurl appear as feline enemies in the Final Fantasy series, usually with enlarged tentacle-like whiskers.
The displacer beast in the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game was inspired by the coeurl—the two have the same idea of tentacles coming from the shoulders, as well as a feline appearance, and the displacer beast uses "vibrations" to confuse its enemies.
The Dirty Pair have a coeurl named Mughi as a sidekick.
Coeurls inhabit Mount Zoaka in the MUD Lusternia.
A combat droid used by the lead character in David Gerrold's novel A Season for Slaughter is similarly catlike and vocalises the word "Coeurl" when it is on standby and awaiting further orders.
The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game was able to secure permission for a single use of Van Vogt's original coeurl in the adventure booklet The End of Eternity.

And where do you think Square got the idea of a Coeurl from anyway?
