Moe (Japanese: クマノ Kumano) is a clownfish who lives on top of Annie's head. He runs Annie's shop, Cooler Heads alongside Annie, brashly critiquing players based on their rank and style.^[1] Moe speaks in a pirate accent in the English version of the game.

Personality and traits

Though Moe acts tough, he stubbornly refuses to leave Annie's head and never does anything on his own.^[2][3]

It is hinted at in the nineteenth Sunken Scroll that Moe might be manipulating Annie, whose hair he lives in. It states, "Is the big fluffy one providing shelter for the little fishy one, or is the little fishy one manipulating the big fluffy one? We may never know…"
