Answer

TOADY

A toady is a person who behaves obsequiously toward someone important in hopes of gaining advantage. The word originated in the 17th century and comes from the term toad eater, referring to a charlatan's assistant who would pretend to eat toads so the charlatan could demonstrate a fake cure. Over time, it evolved to describe any servile flatterer.
