    Those are just FFIV Namingways/Hummingways (which are not moogles at all) with a different name. Moogles have bat-like wings and a pom-pom on their heads (although FFVIII's Minimog lacked that), which the Namingways (and the Loporrits) have neither, and the Namingways/Loporrits are just anthropomorphic lunar bunnies and really have nothing to do with lalafell either.

    But given the Ivalice games' obsession with rabbits I can sort of understand why players would think Loporrits have an Ivalician moogle link (I'd once heard a joke made a long time ago about FFXII that it was made "by rabbits, about rabbits, for rabbits" due to the amount of rabbit-like races in that game. But I digress.).

    I was more implying they look like what a cross between a Viera and a Lala would be. Tiny bunnyperson.

    Maybe, but I have heard without a citation that apparently when a mixed race union does manage to produce offspring, the child's apparence resembles the mother more closely than the father, so I think a viera/lalafell child would be very short, but nowhere near as short as a lalafell usually, especially if the mother is a viera.

    Also, viera are not hairy, so they'd basically be a taller lalafell with short hairy ears that look like bunny ears... but on the sides of their heads. But this is all just my speculation so make your own conclusions on that.
