InDune: Prophecyepisode 2, there is mention of Shai-Hulud.

Desmond Hart in Dune: Prophecy

Set in the universe of Frank Herbert’s Dune series, Dune: Prophecy, a sci-fi epic, follows the political and spiritual struggles on the desert planet of Arrakis. As factions vie for control of the prized spice melange, a prophesied hero emerges, challenging the balance of power and the fate of the galaxy.

Rather than a religious explanation for Desmond’s survival,Dune: Prophecymay instead provide a more technological one.

For instance, Desmond could be a ghola inDune: Prophecy.

In theDuneuniverse,gholas are artificial humans who are created from someone who has died.

Gholas can be created with just one cell from the original person.
