*****Spoiler warning - only for people who have read all the books*****

What animals are mentioned in the Dune books?  This list won't include human hybrids.

Ones that I can think of:

Sandworms

Seaworms

Kangaroo Mouse (Muad'dib)

Desert Hawks

Sligs

Chairdogs

Salusan Bulls

He's talking about the Gom Jabbar test.  The poison kills only animals (because only animals fail the Box test, and are pricked with the Gom Jabbar).  R.M. Mohaim refers to the Harkonnens as animals.  For the record, Gurney seconds that accusation at one point in the movie ("This is a Harkonnen animal!").

In short, it was a joke.
