Lewishapete is a talking, sentient, and mischievous shapeshifting creature, often depicted as a small, furry animal with a penchant for causing chaos and mischief. The character first appeared in Pratchett's 1987 novel "Equal Rites," where he is introduced as a companion to the young witch Granny Weatherwax.

Lewishapete's most notable feature is his ability to shapeshift into various forms, including a small, furry animal, a human, and even a more sinister, monstrous form. This ability allows him to infiltrate and cause trouble in various settings, often with humorous and unpredictable results. Throughout the Discworld series, Lewishapete's antics and misadventures are a recurring theme, providing comic relief and adding depth to the stories.

The character's name, Lewishapete, is a combination of the words "Lewis" and "shapeshifter," reflecting his dual nature as a companion to Granny Weatherwax and his ability to change form. Lewishapete's mischievous behavior often leads to humorous situations, but he is also shown to have a more serious side, particularly in his relationship with Granny Weatherwax.

In the Discworld series, Lewishapete's character serves as a symbol of the unpredictable and often chaotic nature of magic and the supernatural. His presence adds a layer of humor and unpredictability to the stories, making him a beloved and iconic character in the series. Despite his mischievous nature, Lewishapete's presence in the Discworld universe contributes to the overall charm and appeal of the series.
