"A Demon in His Pocket" is the 3rd episode of the Defenders of the Earth animated TV series.

Plot summary

Kshin's run-in with the class bullies moves him to find the right spell from Mandrake's "forbidden" sorcery books. Without any of the other Defenders knowing, and from under his bed covers, Kshin and Zuffy call a pint size demon named Shogoth to "fix those bullies once and for all." Kshin's plan to scare the school yard tyrants works fine but Shogoth, with his size and strength quadrupled, decides to take on Central City.

Ming the Merciless, sensing an enormous power surge on Earth, convinces Shogoth that Monitor is the only thing that stands between him and total domination. Flash and the Phantom contain the monster long enough for Mandrake and Lothar the reverse Kshin's spell and shrink Shogoth to his original size. Ming demands that Shogoth give it one more try, but Shogoth has had enough of the Defenders and retreats to his own dimension.
