Shovel is a unique quasit and summonable familiar that can be summoned via the Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit spell. Unlike regular quasits, Shovel has unique dialogue, and can be interacted with after summoning her.[url 1][1]

Overview
Shovel is a carefree and upbeat fiend that finds joy in murder, arson and eating babies. She is impatient, and very easily gets bored. In spite of her irreverent demeanour, Shovel can be deeply loyal, even when denied the many pleasures of violence.
Summoning Shovel
There are two ways of summoning Shovel:
- Temporarily via the
Scroll of Summon Quasit found in the Apothecary's Cellar.
- The scroll can also be scribed by wizards, allowing them to permanently acquire the spell.
- Permanently via a missable dialogue, unlocking an action to summon her, located in the Common tab. This spell is not lost on resetting the caster's levels through Withers.
Permanently acquiring Shovel
Sorcerers, warlocks and wizards can gain the spell permanently by talking to Shovel after using the scroll to summon her in the Apothecary's Cellar, and then selecting any dialogue option except for '"No. And you'll ..."'.
The caster must then get past the Ornate Mirror in the same location, and must then immediately talk to Shovel again on the other side. When done correctly, she will refer to the caster as a magic user, and her new '"master"'.
If the caster proceeds too far into the room on the other side of the mirror, Shovel will instead initiate a dialogue about trust, bypassing the point at which the spell can be permanently unlocked. If this happens, there is no way to permanently acquire Shovel as a familiar.
History
Shovel was owned by the necromancer Toth, who was a cruel and neglectful master. He would often verbally and physically abuse her, and often forgot to feed her. In spite of this, Shovel enjoyed working with her former master.[act1 a]
