Summary[]
Imps are the most typical and average devils above the lemure fodder. Imps serve any number of purposes for their Archdevil overlords, ranging from assassins, foot-soldiers, scouts, and general cannon fodder.
Imps were drawn to the worlds outside of the Nine Hells of Baator, delighting in corrupting others to evil for their masters. They regularly serve as familiars to particularly vile spellcasters, ensuring that, when they die, their souls will serve time in Baator. There are many alternative types of Imps that are present in the multiverse- Bloodbag, Euphorics, and Filth imps are a selection of some of them.
