The popularity of Moo Deng, a pygmy hippopotamus in Thailand, has led to an increased demand for her virtual counterpart in Final Fantasy 14, with prices skyrocketing.
Since Moo Deng went viral, prices for the Hippo Calf minion in Final Fantasy 14 surged from 30,000 Gil to nearly 300,000 Gil due to her fame.
The official Final Fantasy 14 Twitter account boosted Moo Deng's popularity by sharing a playful clip of the Hippo Calf, encouraging fans to purchase the minion.
Moo Deng's online fame resulted in the zoo implementing time limits on viewership and monitoring fans to prevent harassment, showing the influence of social media.
