Their in-game function is a separate canon from who they are as characters, which also varies greatly. To date, there are 213 named Moshlings as well as a few who appeared in media but have not been named yet. These are spread across 53 sets, of which only 47 are released. Moshlings were first released on September 8th, 2008, as indicated by The Daily Growl. As such, Moshlings debuted here.
