Lucifer's familiar - Presto (specific to my portrayal)
art credit: me
Name: Presto Species: Griffon (half bird, cockatiel based; half cat; size of a husky) Biology: lightweight, bones are hollow. Powers: infinite storage (he can eat things like Kirby and store them instead of digesting), conjuring, sealing, basic magical abilities, telekinesis Purpose: officially, he's Lucifer's familiar. In actuality, Presto fills the role of body guard, service animal, and emotional support animal for Lucifer. He offers help for Lucifer's medical and psychiatric conditions. Sentience: about the same level as Charlie's bodyguards Razzle and Dazzle. Behavior: talks like a cockatiel, cat-like body language and behavior (tail swishes when pissed, likes jumping to high places, reacts to catnip, etc), obedience like that of a dog (eager to please, protective); mix of bird and cat behavior Random: Presto loves to sing the cookie song and loves repeating little ditties or funny phrases (typical parrot behavior)
There are infinite possibilities so far as story-telling and origin, but one idea of mine is Lucifer created Presto sometime during the 8 years prior to Hazbin season 1. Especially once it became clear that not only was his wife not returning anytime soon, but his daughter was also mad at him. He created Presto as a way to curb the loneliness. Especially since he'd never actually been truly alone for thousands of years!
