Saed szel-Zanbar, better known as Arduginu, the Desert Fish, was a 13th century Zanbari general famous for inflicting numerous defeats on the gnolls.

Arduginu commanded only a small force of skirmishers and cavalry, but used them to devastating effect, launching countless raids, ambushing small bands of gnolls, and melting away before they could muster a concerted response. The gnolls gave him the nickname of Desert Fish, as he was too slippery to ever be caught. Arduginu was one of the few humans that the gnolls truly feared.

His death did not come at the hands of the gnolls, but of his own people, as he was slain in a street-brawl.

From his death until the Jaddari conquest of Bulwar, every Zanbari commander aspired to live up to the example he set, as the Desert Fish became the emblem of the Zanbari cavalry.
