A hooded summoner raises a holy symbol as a winged demon and a horned devil rise from smoke in a fiery circle, elementals swirling above.

Minor devils

Summoned creature, Devil

The lowest devils, usable as familiars or for one task.

Also called Minor devils (familiars)

From the book

Minor devils rate level 3 and Will 8. Minor devils serve as familiars or perform a single service. Black Magic's Summon Familiar and High Magic's Minor Evocation can call them; a caster who only dabbles in black magic rolls to see which familiar answers, while a necromancer may choose. A familiar serves loyally until dismissed, but Summon Familiar can be cast only once a year. The minor devils listed are the grimalkin and the alastor, and the familiar table also offers the imp.

Like all devils it comes from Hades, the nine hells, and keeps faithfully to the lawful Order of Ascendancy under Asmodeus. Summoners must be firm: devils aid those of like alignment and purpose but scorn the incompetent and anyone in league with demons, and they attack demons themselves on sight, and every devil dreads the power of good and cannot abide holy symbols.
