A baby Armus?
But the opposite of Evil.
Armus was all the bad stuff, maybe Murf is all the good?

True. I doubt the entire transwarp network went down all at once and that every corridor remained down even five years later.

I’m thinking Murf is a Denebian Slime Devil. Only mentioned once (to my recollection) and fits the “It may be the most obscure Star Trek reference ever conceived” statement.A baby Armus?

Edit: Might not be that. Forgot about the DS9 LCARS image that canonized the old Trek Medical Manual’s image of a slime devil (page 94) from 1977. Then again, things change in the canon over time, so there is a chance...

Disco redesigned the Klingons (again).
There's nothing preventing Kurtzman and the Hageman Bros. from giving a slime devil (?) a cute and cuddly makeover.
Background screen graphics don't really "canonize" anything, because they're not meant to be an integral part of the narrative, just incidental texture that most viewers won't even register. That's why they're often full of in-jokes or filler text that's not meant to be taken literally, and why a lot of TNG's background screen text was redone for the HD remastering, often changing its content entirely.
Although Lower Decks has now arguably canonized the Rubber Ducky Room in the Enterprise-D cutaway graphic...

Oh, come on.
I pretty much feel the same way when it comes to spoiling minor throwaway gags on LD, but posters around here have different spoiler tolerances; and it's not that hard to use the spoiler tags for references to things from other shows that have aired inside of six months ago.
As a parent I can definitely tell that the devil is in the slime!Murf is obviously an aqueous gelatinous creature (like Odo), no reason it can't assume any shape it so desires.
Perhaps on it's home planet it takes on the scary multilimbed shape to ward off predators.
So it could still be a Slime Devil.
That's just what Rutherford called it. We never see this so-called "Rubber Ducky Room", so my presumption is it's a silly nickname for what may be a large computer center under the Bridge (judging by its location in the Enterprise-D MSD), perhaps with yellow machinery that vaguely resembles the shape of a duck, especially on orthographic views and MSDs.
It's not a silly idea, just a silly nickname for a room who's form and function we have yet to see (or perhaps we have?).
I know I said "arguably," but I never intended it to be argued...
Apparently, you forgot where you were.
If you think that Murf is a Denebian Slime Devil, well, that's my opinion too.
We argue EVERYTHING!
That's what we do!
No, we don't!
