In the Hetalia universe, '''Mochis''' (also known as "Blobs") are strange, sentient creatures which resemble the personification of the nations in both appearance and personality.

They are apparently from the country they represent, as they speak their natives languages and can pop up their respective flags from their body. However, they can be found abroad.

Their anatomy (as they are basically Japanese pastry) is very simple. They're all clear-colored and round in shape, as well as being very soft, flexible, and expandable. Each one has different signature abilities.

The mochis do not appear in the linear story of Hetalia. They instead have their own spin-off series of strips (similar to ''Nekotalia'') called ''Omochi'' and ''Otayuke'', [[Estonia]] being the only nation featured (as he owns some of them). They have also appeared in some events, but they are mainly mascots for the Kitayume site.

==Known Mochis==
===America===
Mochi!America is the main mochi and the first one to appear. He has brilliant blue eyes and lines resembling glasses under them. Fanon usually depicts him with an ahoge, but in the blog he is never shown with one. He is described as crazy (maybe a reference to [[America]]'s hyperactivity, but the mochi is clearly much more demented), but with no malice. Like his nation self, he has an enormous love for strong tastes, and if neglected, he'll grow to become obese. He is also prone to insult with profane words. He suddenly appeared in Estonia's house one day, and Estonia started raising him. He seems to be competitive and annoying towards other mochis, as he consider Mochi!Italy a "pig", Mochi!Canada "hairy" and Mochi!England "gay". His level of insanity goes to the extent to believe that a lettuce can talk, that it is his father, and that together they will destroy the world. But in the end, the lettuce was eaten by Mochi!Canada, much to Mochi!America's horror.

He has the ability to shapeshift into anything he desires. He can shape himself into a hand, a dog, a pair of legs, etc. He can also pop up different things from his body, such as flags.

He has also shown the ability to evolve into a angelic, big-eyed, winged form that seems to speak politely but is actually hostile. In this form, he can travel to the Mochi World.

This particular mochi is a main mascot in the Kitayume site and the Bamboo Thicket blog.

===Italy===
Mochi!Italy is the second mochi to appear. He has squinty eyes with a "ω" shaped mouth and an Italian ahoge. Estonia bought him online for $2 so Mochi!America would not be lonely. Probably the softest, he is slow, easygoing and friendly, and more exquisite with food. Like his counterpart, he is quite of a coward and usually hangs around with Mochi!Germany; he also seems to have talent for prestidigitation.

===Canada===
Mochi!Canada is the third mochi owned by Estonia and, like Mochi!Italy, was bought online (he was even cheaper: $1.50). He has big blue eyes with glasses lines under them and a Canadian ahoge. He also carries a drawing of a polar bear head around him. Like his counterpart, he is shy, but hysteric. When it was mentioned he looked like Mochi!America, he freaked out confirming his nationality and then cried. He has a fondness for pancakes with maple syrup. He is also sometimes forgotten about by Mochi!America.

===England===
Mochi!England is a mochi brought to Estonia by his owner, an old English gentleman, to meet his fellow mochis. He is a snobby, spoiled, and "tsundere" blob. He has the typical British brushy eyebrows and a small top hat. While Estonia found him extremely clean, his owner claims he was a hooligan. He is constantly annoyed by Mochi!America in many different ways.

===Japan===
Mochi!Japan is, instead of a regular mochi, a Sakuramochi. He is pinkish in colour with a Sakura pattern in his side and has dull black eyes. He also carries a katana around him. He is described as quiet, modest, traditional, mysterious, and able to read the situation. He is a bit self-denigrating and has no head for pushy attitudes. He has not appeared in the comics so far, but he has been shown in a blog post, apparently showing a cannibalistic appetite towards Mochi!America (since mochis are Japanese food, and being Japanese himself, he finds them edible).

===Germany===
Instead of being round like a regular mochi, Mochi!Germany is hard and prismal (this can be a reference to Germany's physical and emotional sturdiness). Like his counterpart, he is intimidating, stern, and somehow shy. He considers his only friend Mochi!Italy, quite annoying.

===Liechtenstein===
Mochi!Liechtenstein lives in the Mochi World. She is a small mochi with big eyes and a ribbon on her side. She has the ability to create stamps out of nothing. Estonia found her cute and wanted to take her home, but he was stopped by her brother, Mochi!Switzerland.

===Switzerland===
Mochi!Switzerland lives in the Mochi World with his sister, Mochi!Liechtenstein. When Estonia wanted to take Mochi!Liechtenstein, he stared at him, defending his sister.

===Spain===
In the Mochi World, Estonia found him asking for a tomato. As Estonia had one in his pocket, he gave it to Mochi!Spain and Mochi!Spain was very happy. His design is simple, just squinty eyes with a smiley mouth. He usually has a tomato on his side and will get very angry if it is removed. When Estonia decided to take him, Mochi!America thought it was better for him to take Mochi!Estonia instead. When Estonia started to cry for being compared with the mochi, Mochi!Spain cheered him up, which led Estonia into keeping him. Because of this, Mochi!America beat him up.

===Estonia===
Mochi!Estonia lives in the Mochi World. When encountered, Estonia—despite being told so by Mochi!America—couldn't believe that they were very similar. The American mochi also wanted him to keep his mochi counterpart, but Estonia refused. Mochi!Estonia has small glasses without visible eyes and a tiny laptop.

===Russia===
Mochi!Russia lives in Moscow. He has squinty eyes and a prominent nose, and he also wears a scarf. He seems to share Russia's trait of torture others, as he does with Mochi!America; moreover, he is rancorous. However, he seems to have a friendly side.
