Mocchi is a monster breed that has soft, sticky skin and a shell-like row of scales on its back. It's an extremely popular monster that first appears in Monster Rancher 2 and then every game after it. A few of their attacks involve powerful storms of cherry blossom petals and gusts of wind, and some types of Mocchi can expel powerful energy beams from their mouths. They can also roll into a ball and bounce around like they are made of rubber. When redesigned for Monster Farm Online, they have short stubby tails and duck-like feet.
Even though Suezo was the "mascot" of the series at first, more attention has been placed on Mocchi since the anime series aired. Mocchi is one of the main characters in the series and grows from an infant to an experienced fighter.
Mocchi is one of the seven Searchers, the main protagonists of the anime series. He is unlocked in the first episode from Genki's CD (used as a Mystery Disc) after the Mystery Disc that Holly and Suezo found brought Genki to their world. Mocchi becomes Genki's monster partner, following him and learning from him. Obviously the youngest on the team, Mocchi also grows the most throughout the series. Though he is capable of speech like the others, he constantly says "chi" at the end of his sentences as an accent of sorts.
