Dog-like animals domesticated by the humans of the Twelve Colonies, the daggits were rendered extinct in the initial Cylon attack. Boxey's own beloved pet daggit, named Muffit, was killed by falling debris in Caprica – so Captain Apollo asked Dr. Wilker to create this robotic replacement, a loyal and artificially-furred friend. Behind the scenes, Muffit was no robot. It was actually played by a costumed actor – a chimpanzee by the name of "Evolution"!
