Just saw that episode this morning. I distinctly remember seeing an almost identical confrontation (complete with victory howl) in an old Marty Stouffer documentary.

So, the werewolf mouse’s body has the ability to convert the scorpion’s deadly toxin into a painkiller.
Converting a poison into something good. That sounds like Paul Muad’Dib’s ability to ingest and make safe the Water of Life.

Apropos of that, wasn’t ‘Muad’Dib’ the local name for a mouse in Dune? I have the vague memory of Paul’s choice being viewed favorably because of that.
