The bone devil, &, is a demon in NetHack.

Because of its medium-low MR, it is easy to get stuck with it as a pet when it's being polymorphed. Being able to use weapons contributes to it making it a good early game pet if polymorphed into, being able to take down threats such as water demon.

Encyclopedia entry

Bone devils attack with weapons and with a great hooked tail
which causes a loss of strength to those they sting.
