The original Muffit, a daggit, runs with Boxey on Caprica during the Cylon sneak attack (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").

A daggit is a canine-like animal used as a domesticated pet, watch animal, or tracker. No daggits survive the Cylon holocaust.

Boxey loses his daggit, Muffit, to the destruction on Caprica.

Drone Facsimile

A robotic drone counterpart similar in appearance to a daggit named Muffit II is built by Dr. Wilker and presented to Boxey (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").

Like a real daggit, the new Muffit proves its bravery and dedication to protecting humans during a dangerous fire aboard Galactica (TOS: "Fire in Space").

Galactica 1980

Dillon cautions the kids to be careful not to play with the daggits too fervently, for the daggits may "singe their circuits" (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I").

During the 30 yahren journey to Earth, multiple drone daggits are built and find their way throughout the Galactican Fleet. After discovering Earth, Lieutenant Dillon happens across children playing with a pair of mechanical daggits aboard the freighter that Troy and Dillon reside upon (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I").

Notes

  • In the re-imagined series, dogs are simply called dogs and, unlike the original series, a number of these pets (e.g. Jake) survive the holocaust within the Fleet.
  • The "daggit" Muffit would make an appearance in a Caprican children's book cover in Caprica.
