Muad'dib

The Muad'dib, also known as the Wastes Mouse, is a small rodent native to Orupia. It is highly developed for its habitat in the frozen Wastes in south-central Cerafe, with a thick grey undercoat of fur and a long white overcoat. It is a diurnal creature, burrowing deep into the snow for warmth during the freezing nights and emerging only when the sun is at its peak to feed on the sparse plant and insect life found in the barren landscape. 
In Draksin culture, the Muad'dib is a symbol of survival against all odds and the small creature is thought to embody an inner struggle. It also gives its name to a constellation visible from Orupia. 
In the Draksin language, "Muad'dib" means Teacher, and is thought to be the origin of the common Draksin given name, Moadeeb.
