The ice devil, &, is a demon in NetHack. It has a 25% chance of being generated with a spear, but never gets random offensive items. While slow (it gets one move to your two), it can pack a punch, especially if you lack cold resistance. It makes a decent pet in the early game which can take out e.g. the Minetown Priest, but isn't upper-tier due to the speed.
