Muffit

The Real Daggit

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

Muffit is Boxey's daggit which is killed by falling debris during the Cylon sneak attack. Boxey mourns for Muffit on the Rising Star, refusing to eat as a result (Saga of a Star World).

The "Muffit II"

Muffit II, the robotic daggit.

To ease Boxey's emotional suffering, his future father Apollo asks Dr. Wilker to furnish a prototype robotic daggit, called the Muffit II. As no daggits have survived the sneak attack, there is a genuine need for replacement daggits, as they had played numerous roles in Colonial society, including that of domesticated pet, watch animal, and tracker. In order to train Muffit II, Wilker scans an image of Boxey into its circuits for imprinting purposes, thus allowing Boxey to train the robot (Saga of a Star World).

Muffit stows away in the snowram with Boxey in order to be able to see the snow on the surface of Arcta. When the snowram is disabled and the commando team nearly succumbs to the effects of the diethene storm, Muffit exits the snowram and wanders off. They fear that Muffit might attract the attention of Centurions trying to find them. They eventually pass out due to the diethene, but awaken to discover that Muffit had brought some Thetas back to the snowram, saving the team and the mission (The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I).

Among other things, Muffit is trained by Boxey to "sniff" out mushies. This ability comes in very handy when Boxey, Boomer and Athena are stranded in Galactica's rejuvenation center. Muffit is able to sniff out the mushies placed on the bridge, and thereby negotiate a convoluted, maze-like path through the ship's ventilation ducts to retrieve gravely needed lifemasks. Later, Muffit returns to the fire-engulfed duct system to save the life of a fallen firefighter (Fire in Space).
