Imps were vicious, manipulative fiends that were among the weakest beings in the infernal hierarchy. Native to the Lower Realms, their job was to assist stronger fiends and corrupt mortals whom their masters wanted groomed to the side of evil. They were generally simple creatures, taking much delight and whimsy in pranking or even killing mortals while invisible.
Though physically unimposing, imps were duplicitous, and capable of savagery that belied their small size. Their innate magic allowed them to fly, turn invisible, and assume certain Beast forms, and carried deadly poison in their stingers.
