The Baclou is a spirit creature from West African and French Caribbean voodoo traditions. It is believed to be summoned using dark rituals and kept in small containers to serve its master. In exchange for wealth or protection, the Baclou may demand offerings or eventually turn on its owner. The spirit is said to operate invisibly, stealing or sabotaging enemies. Legends warn against mistreating or neglecting the creature. It has no fixed appearance but is often imagined as a small, mischievous figure. The Baclou is sometimes confused with gremlins or imps. Its myth serves as a warning about selfish magic.
