Imps are created by opening a psychic gate within a live human body, allowing ethereal beings to push through and occupy it. Such a procedure usually generates numerous bodily mutations such as horns, fangs, bloodshot eyes and an increase in muscle density. However, the most dangerous abilities in an imp's arsenal are the psychic programmed spells written all over its skin by its new hosts. These are usually fire-related spells.

These creatures are primarily created for cheap labour, as guinea pigs or cannon fodder.
