'''Shovel''' is a unique quasit and [[Summon|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.{{ref|Shovel is referred to as she in the description of the Steam achievement ''Rude, Crude, and Full of Attitude'': Find and summon the quasit Shovel.

== Overview== | == 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. Shovel is afraid of storm sorcery and wild magic sorcerers, stating she says she doesn't like their "thunder magic and pain". Shovel also loves dragons, and as a draconic bloodline sorcerer, convincing her you are a dragon will make her very excited. Should you not convince her you are a dragon, she will react disappointed and call you a "fake dragon", but she will not be afraid. | Shovel is a carefree and upbeat fiend that finds joy in murder, arson and eating babies.

To permanently gain Shovel as a summonable familiar, see the spoiler-tagged Notes [[Scroll of Summon Quasit#Notes|here]]. By scribing the scroll on a Wizard and then talking to Shovel with another eligible character you can learn the spell on two characters. You have to summon Shovel in the apothecary cellar, otherwise she won't talk about Illyn and then won't call the other character spell-shite. | To permanently gain Shovel as a summonable familiar, see the spoiler-tagged Notes [[Scroll of Summon Quasit#Notes|here]].

Shovel was owned by the necromancer [[Ilyn 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.{{ref|Dialogue with Shovel, when spoken to in [[Apothecary's Cellar]].|act1}} | Shovel was owned by the necromancer [[Ilyn Toth]], who was a cruel and neglectful master.

Similar to other [[Find Familiar]] 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. | |||

Just like all [[Find Familiar|Familiars]], Shovel can drink [[elixir]]s, but increasing her [[Strength]] doesn't help her since her attacks '''always''' use [[Dexterity]]. | Just like all [[Find Familiar|Familiars]], Shovel can drink [[elixir]]s, but increasing her [[Strength]] doesn't help her since her attacks '''always''' use [[Dexterity]]. | ||
