The Mandalorian bounty hunter Fennec Shand's name comes with a unique source of inspiration infused into every part of her character: the fennec fox.

Darth Vader's name does not actually mean "Dark Father" in Dutch or German, despite popular myth and fanned speculation.
Fennec Shand, a character from The Mandalorian, draws inspiration from the fennec fox, as revealed by Ming-Na Wen, the actress who portrays her.
Shand incorporates traits of the fennec fox, such as agility, quickness, patience, and cunning, making her one of the most efficient and threatening bounty hunters in The Mandalorian.
