Here is an instance of using a Miflit (or Mite as they used to be know) for use in Pathfinder 2.

Overview of the Mitflit

• Minion Trait – Minions are creatures that directly serve another creature. A creature with this trait can use only 2 actions per turn and can’t use reactions. Your minion acts on your turn in combat, once per turn, when you spend an action to issue it commands. For an animal companion, you Command an Animal; for a minion that’s a spell or magic item effect, like a summoned minion, you Sustain a Spell or Sustain an Activation; if not otherwise specified, you issue a verbal command, a single action with the auditory and concentrate traits. If given no commands, minions use no actions except to defend themselves or to escape obvious harm. If left unattended for long enough, typically 1 minute, mindless minions usually don’t act, animals follow their instincts, and sapient minions act how they please.
• LE Trait – Lawful Evil
• Small Trait – A Small creature takes up a 5-foot-by-5-foot space (1 square on the grid) and typically has a reach of 5 feet.
• Fey Trait – Creatures of the First World are called the fey.
• Gremlin Trait – Cruel and mischievous fey, gremlins have acclimated to life on the Material Plane.

Example – Squirt

Context: In the TRAP Wednesday campaign the group wiped out the Mite settlement in the Crow pilon just outside of Magnimar. All except a pitiful survivor who was bound to their group by a hellknight.

Here are the changes to the base stat block to make him fit the squirt aspect of the character.

• Size changed to Tiny. Note that there are no longer modifiers specified for sizes.
• I would have applied the “Weak Adjustment” except that it would take the creature to zero hit points so that option is not acceptable. So instead of weak I will make a young version that is not as harsh. (see below)
• His abilities are going to be modified to represent the bad things that have been happening around him so he has the Uncluck Aura of the Pugwampi, except he is also subject to the effect as well as everyone else in his aura.
  • Unluck Aura (aura, divination, mental, misfortune, primal) 20 feet. Creatures other than animals, gremlins, and gnolls in the aura become extremely unlucky (DC 16 Will save; creature must roll this Will save twice and take the worse result). On a successful save, the creature is temporarily immune to the grelmins unluck auras for 24 hours. On a failure, the creature must roll twice and take the worse result on all checks as long as it is within the aura.
• Due to his hometown being in Magnimar, I have given him the additional language of Varisian.

Young Adjustments

• 1/2 base Hit points.
• AC, attack modifiers, DCs, saving throws, and skill modifiers reduced by 2.
• Strikes and other offensive avilities reduced by 2
• Reduce size by one category
• Reduce speed by 5 ft
• Reduce Str, Dex, Con and Wis by 1.

Squirt – Starting Companion

Now that I have the basics for the character, here are the changes the group has hadded to the character since he was adopted.

• Armour Class – The group has outfitted him with armour, so his AC has increased from the base 15 to 18. This is also reduced by 2 for being young.
• Slave Brand – He is marked with a Chelaxian slave brand allowing him to wander within territories patrolled by them without being killed on sight. Though any law breaking is considered his masters crime and not his. His master gets some benefits from the connections.
• Unluck Aura – This is intended to change over time and once the part reach level 3, no longer affect them (if the mitflit survives that long)
