Imp
The little fire demon Ukobach with his frying pan, engraving after Louis Le Breton, Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire infernal, 1863 · Louis Le Breton, Ukobach, Dictionnaire infernal, 1863, Public domain, Wikimedia Commons

A tiny winged devil that turns invisible or takes the shape of a rat or raven, sent to serve mortal spellcasters as a familiar and a spy. It gives good advice, and every piece of it leads a little further down.
