Gaffling

In both Werewolf: The Apocalypse and Werewolf: The Forsaken, a Gaffling is one of the lowest ranks a spirit can have, most are not even fully sentient. Other spirits tend to view Gafflings in a similar way humans view animals and use them as messengers and representatives. Most gafflings welcome this kind of control and serve their masters faithfully. The higher the intelligence and self-awareness of a gaffling is, the more powerful is his master.

They are also the spirits usually responsible for teaching Gifts to a Werewolf.
