I've always loved the Nu Mou from Final Fantasy. Right from the day I saw them in Tactics when I was a kid.

I mean, they're weird, derpy, ugly dog dwarves with teeny hands, droopy ears and a big tail. What's not to love?
I always had a Nu Mou in my team. Either a White Mage or an Illusionist/Black Mage. Mine was named Mackenroe and I will literally die for him.
