Shovel is a unique quasit and summonable familiar that can be summoned via the 
spell.
“IT'S FISTING TIME!„
Overview
Unlike regular quasits, Shovel has unique dialogue and can be interacted with after summoning her.[1] Her name can be changed to Fork or Basket through dialogue.
Shovel is a carefree and upbeat fiend that finds joy in murder, arson and eating babies. She is impatient and very easily gets bored, but in spite of her irreverent demeanour, Shovel can be deeply loyal, even when denied the pleasures of violence. Shovel is afraid of Sorcerers with Storm Sorcery or Wild Magic, stating that she doesn't like their "thunder magic and pain". She loves dragons, though, and as a Draconic Bloodline sorcerer and/or Dragonborn, convincing her the interacting party member is a dragon will make her very excited. If failing to convince her, she will react disappointed and call the party member a "fake dragon", but she will not be afraid.
Summoning and permanently acquiring Shovel
There are two ways of summoning Shovel:
- The
Scroll of Summon Quasit found in the Apothecary's Cellar.
- This scroll can also be scribed by Wizards, adding to the wizard tab in their spellbook. This spell will be lost on respeccing.
- This scroll can also be scribed by Wizards, adding
- As a permanent spell by speaking to Shovel with a Warlock, Wizard or Sorcerer after summoning her with the scroll (or by a wizard who scribed it). This spell is not lost on respeccing.
- By scribing the scroll on a Wizard and then talking to Shovel with another eligible character it's possible to learn the spell for two party members.
History
Shovel was owned by the necromancer Ilyn Toth, who was a cruel and neglectful master. He would often verbally and physically abuse her as well as forget to feed her. In spite of this, Shovel enjoyed working with her former master.[2]
Combat
Attacks and Abilities
Similar to other 
summons, Shovel excels at providing chip damage and harassment in battle. Defensively, her fragile body is at best a distraction against most enemies. Her Invisibility skill is particularly useful for scouting out enemy positions and initiating fights via surprise attacks
Melee: 1.5 m / 5 ft 
Range: 6 m / 20 ft
Recharge: Unlike ordinarily summoned quasits, Shovel has her own unique lines when using her actions.
Just like all Familiars, Shovel can drink Elixirs, but increasing her Strength doesn't help her since her attacks always use Dexterity.
