| | '''Mogmas''' are a species of humanoid mole native to the [[Eldin (region)|Eldin]] region in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "mogura" (the Japanese word for "mole") and "magma," refering to the climate they live in. As a whole, they enjoy hunting treasure, with many of their names even referring to precious metals. All of the Mogmas met over the course of the game seem to be male. |

| ==Characteristics==
| | {{SS}} |
| The Mogma greatly resemble anthropomorphic moles. They have long snouts extending from their faces, and are covered in fur that ranges in light colors. They have muscular frames and long, sharp claws they use to dig with. Mogma also have pointed ears and most have a dark marking across their eyes. Many also have short to medium-length hair in a contrasting color to the rest of their fur, and can grow facial hair. Mogma are nearly always seen at least partially in the ground from the waist down, and very rarely emerge above ground. When they are unearthed, they are revealed to have small paws for feet, and large, fat tails.

| The Mogma are especially noted to be greedy,<ref name="Treasure"/> with the majority of them sharing a love for Rupees and other treasures they routinely hunt for in the rich quarries of the Eldin Volcano.<ref>{{Cite|You may already know this, but {{Color|SS Blue|Eldin Volcano}} is riddled with hidden caves. You can find 'em by checking around for thin, cracked walls. You can find all kinds of things in these caves. It's mostly {{Color|SS Gold|Rupees}}, sure, but ya never know. If you get the itch for loot, you should try some cave hunting.|Cobal|SS}}</ref> Their love for treasure is so great that some may even ignore the well-being of others with complete disregard.<ref>{{Cite|And that blonde girl they took is probably part of their master plan too. I'm telling you, I can smell the riches from here!|Ledd|SS}}</ref> Some Mogma carry rucksacks or boxes on their backs secured by straps around their shoulders, which they use to carry their findings, as is the case with [[Plats]] and his Treasure Chest rucksack filled with jewels. When they are not hunting for treasure, Mogma retire to their dwellings to relax.<ref>{{Cite|Deep underground, below this volcano, you'll find treasure-loving {{Color|SS Blue|Mogmas}}. These days, most of them are content with staying down in their lair, where they do nothing but relax all day.|Gossip Stone|SS}}</ref> Not all Mogma go hunting for treasure; [[Tubert]] prefers to make money by hosting a [[Thrill Digger|gambling game]] instead.<ref>{{Cite|A unique Mogma, he believes there is more money to be made in serving treasure hunters rather than being a treasure hunter himself.|Fi|SS}}</ref> Despite their greed, Mogma are generally friendly and always honor those they are indebted to.<ref>{{Cite|I don't blame you for not knowing this, but us {{Color|SS Blue|Mogmas}} always honor our debts. Let me give you something to prove it. Any special requests?|Tyto|SS}}</ref>

| ==History==
| |
| The Mogma were among the five races of the [[Hyrule|Surface]] who joined the Goddess [[Hylia]] in the war against the evil forces of [[Demise]]. During the [[Sky Era]], the Mogma live in the Eldin Volcano. Their leader is [[Guld]], an elderly Mogma who hopes to soon retire and is searching for a substitute.<ref>{{Cite|That is {{Color|SS Blue|Guld}}. He is the "boss" of the Mogma. He is currently seeking a new leader to replace him.|Fi|SS}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| When Link first arrives to the region, he encounters the Mogma [[Ledd]] and [[Cobal]], who mistake him for a [[Bokoblin]].<ref>{{Cite|Whoa! You're not... Yo, Ledd! I don't think this is one of those red creeps.|Cobal|SS}}</ref> It is then that Link learns that the Mogma are fighting the Bokoblins in turf wars, who had invaded and taken over their territory.<ref>{{Cite|Sorry 'bout that, pal. These monsters showing up and messing with our turf has got me on edge. They show up here, and I'm gonna knock the red clean out of 'em! That's what I'm doing here. Yeah, me, Ledd.|Ledd|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Grrr... Those creeps just shimmied on in and took over our territory.|Tyto|SS}}</ref> As Link makes his way through the volcanic region in search for his [[Princess Zelda|friend]], he learns from another Mogma, [[Zanc]], that a mysterious [[Impa|character dressed in black]] had passed through the area.<ref>{{Cite|One of your people just came charging through here. {{Color|SS Red|Dressed all in black}}! That a friend of yours?|Zanc|SS}}</ref> Link also receives the [[Digging Mitts]] from [[Tyto]] as thanks for defeating some of the Bokoblins. Link's search takes him to the locked entrance of the [[Earth Temple (Skyward Sword)|Earth Temple]], where he overhears from Ledd and Cobal that the monsters had broken the Temple's Key and hidden its pieces.<ref>{{Cite|They busted up the {{Color|SS Red|key to that door}} and hid the pieces all over the place. I'm telling you, one of the {{Color|SS Red|five pieces}} is buried right around here.|Ledd|SS}}</ref> He also learns from them that the monsters had abducted his friend, Zelda, and taken her into the Temple.<ref>{{Cite|Hey, that reminds me... That {{Color|SS Red|strange blonde girl in the weird clothes}} got taken away too.|Cobal|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Judging by the discussions of the Mogmas you met on {{Color|SS Blue|Eldin Volcano}}, I infer that {{Color|SS Blue|Zelda}} has been taken by a monster to a temple on the volcano.|Fi|SS}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| Later on, while searching for [[Din's Flame]], a few of the Mogma go on a treasure-hunting mission led by Guld to locate a rumored treasure in the [[Fire Sanctuary (Skyward Sword)|Fire Sanctuary]],<ref>{{Cite|So here's the deal... Word in the tunnels is there's a huge treasure hidden in these here ruins... But nobody who's ever seen it has come back to tell the tale.|Guld|SS}}</ref> whose key clue has been passed down through generations by the Mogma.<ref>{{Cite|All right, then... I'm gonna let you in on an ancient treasure-hunting legend passed down among generations of Mogmas. Every Mogma worth a handful o' dirt knows this one...|Guld|SS}}</ref> A couple of Guld's Mogma, however, were captured inside and held suspended by chains.<ref>{{Cite|Oh yaaah! I'm saved!|Silva|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|So in return, please don't tell anyone that I was captured. It'll just be our little secret, OK?|Bronzi|SS}}</ref> Link saves them and is rewarded generously for his efforts, receiving the [[Mogma Mitts]] from [[Silva]] and the dungeon [[Map]] from [[Bronzi]]. He also encounters [[Plats]] inside who, after a misunderstanding, gives Link a [[Piece of Heart]].
| |
| | |
| Link again encounters Plats while searching for the [[Eldin (Dragon)|Fire Dragon Eldin]] on his third visit to the region, when he is captured by the Bokoblins and loses most of his items during the volcanic eruption. Plats helps him after he snuck the Mogma Mitts off of the Bokoblins, allowing Link to escape and gradually regain his other items.<ref>{{Cite|While you were out, they shook you down good, pal! You're gonna want to get your stuff back before ya go and try anything else. I can get you started. I stole these back for ya...|Plats|SS}}</ref>

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Most Mogma are named after different types of ore,<ref name="E 54"/> with the exception of {{Term|SS|Tubert|link}}, who is named after {{Wp|tuber}}s.
| |
| *The Mogma tend to mistake Link for a Bokoblin upon first inspection; this may be based on the fact that moles in real life generally have terrible eyesight.
| |
| | |
| ==Nomenclature==
| |
| "Mogma" may be a portmanteau of the Japanese word for mole, {{Romanize|土竜|Mogura|}}, and "magma". As their facial features somewhat resemble a dog's, their name could also be a portmanteau of "dog" and "magma".
