Raffy the Higgledy Hypnotiser is an Ultra-Rare Moshling in the Swindilies set in Moshi Monsters, who was designed based on a creation from a boy named Raffy. They perform by hypnotising others to do trivial things for a living.

Raffy's obtainability is exclusive to its creator.

Biography[]

Long ago, Higgledy Hypnotisers would use their enchanted hypno-clocks to swindle rich monsters out of all their Rox. Nowadays these swirly-eyed scoundrels earn a living performing to passers-by, persuading hapless volunteers to eat raw oobla doobla and do the splits every time they whisper 'flummadiddledee'.

Habitat

Unexplored Area
Like Wonky Wizards, Higgledy Hypnotisers are said to come from the mystical land of Alakazam, but they enjoy entertaining shoppers on Sludge Street.

Design[]

RaffyOriginal
Raffy's Mushroom Shield
  • Raffy was designed by a person who's also called Raffy.
  • Raffy's attachment to their right arm seems to be some sort of mushroom.
    • As mushrooms are known to cause hallucinations, this might be the link to Raffy's design idea.

Controversy[]

  • Raffy himself, under the form of a black and red Zommer, on Twitter was seen obtaining Raffy from their Moshling Garden.
    • The user is unknown, and will not be revealed by Moshi Monsters staff, as said in emails regarding the matter that have been received.

Description
Created by saintpaulshepherd
In a 2014 charity auction, I bid for (and won) the chance to have a one-off Moshi Monster produced. My son Raffy was a huge fan so I asked him to design one. The designs were animated and inserted into the the Moshi Monsters online game. Raffy the Higgledy Hypnotiser is an Ultra-Rare Moshling in the Swindilies set in Moshi Monsters, he hypnotises others to do trivial things for a living. This is the ORIGINAL animation, and the ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD. The internet went crazy at the time, with fans asking how they could get their hands on Raffy the Hypnotiser. They couldn't... until now! My son is grown up now and we'd love to see this NFT in the hands of a super Moshi fan :)

About Moshi Hypnotiser - unique!
Moshi Monsters was an online game from the early 2010's. Players chose, customised and cared for 'moshlings' (digital creatures!). There were 290 moshlings, and 80 million users. Plus a feature length animation, and a TONNE of merchandise. Moshi Monsters is a piece of internet history where multiplayer games, in app purchases & digital goods really started to become mainstream and cross generational.
But guess what... of the 80 million online gamers, just one (yes, ONE) could choose Raffy The Hypnotiser.
How come? I bid (in a 2013 charity auction held by the Moshi Monsters founder) for the chance to design a 1 off moshi, and it was added to the game with just ONE download code - which I gave to my sone Raffy :)

This is the original - AND ONLY - digital animation of Raffy The Hypnotiser. The buyer also unlocks a scan of the original illustration and a physical framed version of the same.
Search up 'raffy moshi monster', and you'll see how bad people wanted this unique moshling!
