In its natural form, a quasit stands about 1-1/2 feet tall and weighs about 8 pounds.

Quasits speak Common and Abyssal.
===Combat===
Although quasits thirst for victory and power as other demons do, they are cowards at heart. They typically attack from ambush, using their [[SRD:Alternate Form|alternate form]] ability and ''[[SRD:Invisibility (Spell)|invisibility]]'' to get within reach, then try to scuttle away. When retreating, they use their ''cause [[SRD:Fear|fear]]'' ability to deter pursuit.  

A quasit’s [[SRD:Natural Weapons|natural weapons]], as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as chaotic-aligned and evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]].

'''[[SRD:Poison|Poison]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Injury, [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude]] [[SRD:DC|DC]] 13, initial damage 1d4 [[SRD:Dexterity|Dex]], secondary damage 2d4 [[SRD:Dexterity|Dex]]. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based and includes a +2 racial bonus.

'''[[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:''' At will—''[[SRD:Detect Good|detect good]], [[SRD:Detect Magic|detect magic]],'' and ''[[SRD:Invisibility (Spell)|invisibility]]'' (self only); 1/day—''[[SRD:Cause Fear|cause fear]]'' (as the spell, except that its area is a 30-foot radius from the quasit, save [[SRD:DC|DC]] 11). [[SRD:Caster Level|Caster level]] 6th.

The save [[SRD:DC|DCs]] are [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

Once per week a quasit can use ''[[SRD:Commune|commune]]'' to ask six questions. The ability otherwise works as the spell ([[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 12th).

'''[[SRD:Alternate Form|Alternate Form]] ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' <s>A quasit can assume other forms at will as a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]]. This ability functions as a ''[[SRD:Polymorph (Spell)|polymorph]]'' spell cast on itself ([[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 12th), except that a quasit does not regain [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] for changing form, and any individual quasit can assume only one or two forms no larger than [[SRD:Medium|Medium]]. Common forms include [[SRD:Bat|bat]], [[SRD:Monstrous Centipede|monstrous centipede]], [[SRD:Toad|toad]], and [[SRD:Wolf|wolf]]. A quasit in [[SRD:Alternate Form|alternate form]] loses its [[SRD:Poison|poison]] attack.</s> <span class="errata">A quasit can assume another form at will as a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]]. Each quasit can assume one or two forms from the following list: [[SRD:Bat|bat]], [[SRD:Small Monstrous Centipede|Small]] or [[SRD:Medium Monstrous Centipede|Medium monstrous centipede]], [[SRD:Toad|toad]], and [[SRD:Wolf|wolf]].</span>
