About
Moon Moon is a fictional werewolf character that is portrayed as a mentally challenged outcast in the pack.
Origin
The character was originally conceived as an alter ago name for Tumblr user Kitchiki, who was given the name “Moon Moon” in an online forum game titled "What is Your Werewolf Name? (shown below).[1] On April 5th, Kitchiki noted the silliness of the result in response to the original image post, which gained more than 158,000 notes in the first two weeks.
Spread
A few days later, on April 15th, Tumblr user Frukass posted a reply[10] to Kitchiki’s post, containing a comic depicting a wolf pack on a hunt with Moon Moon suddenly rushing in to “get the thing”.
On April 17th, the first Ask Moon Moon blog [3] was launched and others[4] followed. On April 21st, Twitter account @MoonMoontheWolf[6] was created. On April 22nd, 2013, Tumblr user Kitchiki launched the Official Moon Moon Blog.[2] The legend of Moon Moon has also seen some spread beyond Tumblr, most notably on Imgur,[5][7] though it hasn’t gained traction on Reddit.[9]
