"This man's soul is ours! Bon appetit!"

—Dream Stooges

The Dream Stooges (夢の三兄弟, Yume no San Kyoudai^?) are three demon brothers in Final Fantasy VI: Laragorn, Curlax, and Moebius (originally, Larry, Curly, and Moe in the SNES version). They are phantoms that consume dreams and by extension, the souls of dreamers. Since they are attracted to those in emotional turmoil, they find Cyan to be easy prey when the party sleeps at Doma Castle. The other party members leap into Cyan's Dreamscape to pursue the brothers, but two of them flee as they only fight together. With the party reassembled, the brothers attack together, and are defeated.

EtymologyEdit

In the Japanese version, Moebius is named Sueño (スエーニョ, Suēnyo^?), Laragorn is named Sogno (ソーニョ, Sōnyo^?), and Curlax is named Rêve (レーヴ, Rēvu^?). The names mean "dream" in Spanish, Italian and French, respectively.

The brothers' names in the SNES version are direct references to the American slapstick comedy trio, the Three Stooges. The names in the GBA version also refer to the Three Stooges. The names are not the exact same, but they sound similar: Laragorn evokes the name "Larry", Moebius evokes the name "Moe", and Curlax evokes the name "Curly".
