• Chusuk Tonewood The prized tonewood behind balisets and other stringed instruments.
• Desert Hawk Carrion birds circling the deep desert of Arrakis, read by most as a sign that death has passed nearby.
• Elacca Wood A dense wood from Ecaz, prized by carvers and dangerous to burn. Its smoke is a potent narcotic.
• Melange (Geriatric Spice) The 'geriatric spice,' a life-extending, mind-opening substance that exists nowhere else in the universe.
• Muad'Dib (Kangaroo Mouse) The small desert mouse whose name Paul Atreides took as his own among the Fremen.
• Pundi Rice A staple grain grown across Caladan's fertile lowlands.
• Sand Plankton Microscopic desert organisms that young sandtrout feed on. Easy to overlook, impossible to do without.
• Sandtrout The juvenile form of the sandworm, and the reason Arrakis stays a desert.
• Shai-Hulud (Sandworm) Colossal, near-immortal, and worshipped as a god. The sandworms of Arrakis sit at the center of both the spice cycle and Fremen faith.
