Before you get confused by the title, I am aware that the term bamf is used when Nightcrawler teleports. However, I have recently started reading All-New X-Men: Inevitable, and there is a character there that is referred to as 'a Bamf'. The character is named Pickles, and appears to enjoy eating pizza and drinking beer. So, my question: what is a Bamf, and when were they first introduced?

4@user14111 - It's nice to have a few people like you here who use their real name. Please don't change it to something fake. – ibid Sep 15 '17 at 06:29

A sound Nightcrawler makes when he teleports and small imp-like creatures
For your question, it is used to describe small, imp-like versions of Nightcrawler that are native to Earth-5311. There first appearance seems to be in Uncanny X-men #153
On Earth-616, in the first Nightcrawler limited series in 1985, Nightcrawler is sent to the same universe as these creatures and encounters the bamf that helped Kitty pride in the original Uncanny X-men #513, and ends up discovering that the females are larger than the males, more alike to himself.
The term bamf originates with the sound Nightcrawler made when he teleported.
