20 burning questions we need answered in The Mandalorian season 2
Emily Swallow is the Armorer and Pablo Pascal is the Mandalorian in THE MANDALORIAN, exclusively on Disney+
Clan of the Mudhorn
After Mando turned in Baby Yoda for Imperial-forged Beskar, the Armorer (Emily Swallow) had enough of the precious metal left over to create a Mudhorn as his signet, but Mando declined because he had not defeated the creature on his own (Baby Yoda had provided a timely force-levitation assist). The Armorer assured Mando that he would know his signet symbol when he found it.
Mando is reunited with the Armorer in “Redemption” (S1/Ep 8), when she bestows upon him the Mudhorn signet for his armor. Why? Because a lot has happened since the first signet conversation in “The Sin” (S1/Ep. 3). Mando and Baby Yoda defeated the Mudhorn as a team, but by the finale they are bonded together, with Mando taking responsibility for the child. The Mudhorn now stands as a symbol for their relationship, a special Mandalorian clan of two.

The Mudhorn looks a lot like an extinct rhinoceros of the Late Pleistocene called the Elasmotherium. (Also called “The Giant Siberian Unicorn”).
