Muffit

The Real Daggit

Muffit was Boxey's daggit which was killed by falling debris during the Cylon sneak attack. Boxey mourned for Muffit on the Rising Star, refusing to eat as a result.

The "Muffit II"

To ease Boxey's emotional suffering, his father Apollo asked Dr. Wilker to furnish a prototype robotic daggit, called the Muffit II. As no daggits had survived the sneak attack, there was 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 scanned an image of Boxey into its circuits for imprinting purposes, thus allowing Boxey to train the robot.

Among other things, Muffit was trained by Boxey to "sniff" out mushies. This ability came in very handy when Boxey, Boomer and Athena were stranded in the Galactica's rejuvenation center. Muffit was 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 would return to the fire-engulfed duct system to save the life of a fallen firefighter. ("Fire in Space")
