Out of all true devils, Imps are arguably the weakest ones. About two feet tall, weighing usually no more than 10 pounds, they have red skin, wings, and a scorpion-like tail, all which add to their already bulbous general appearance.
While they aren’t stupid, they are weak and craven, and they love to be summoned by mortal spellcasters to serve them on the Material Plane as they can offer their new masters bits of knowledge while working on securing their soul for Hell.
Whether they were abandoned by their masters or left on their own, sometimes they end up wandering the country where their actions often make their names known even among other races, names like Pegmia, Tyolten, Tyan, and Kukmar.

Too clever for his own good, his mouth is often faster than his mind. Though his ideas, comments, and even jokes, are usually spot on, the insolence and disregard for others with which he does everything continues to irk his master. For now, he is fortunate the wizard is busy with other things, so he gets away with more than he should.

All but the lowest of the devils, Imps usually act as servants either to some other devilish force or a mortal spellcaster that used their powers to summon them to the Material plane. While serving mortal masters, imps never stop seeking ways of corrupting their hearts to one day secure their souls for Hell. Sometimes, however, they live a life of a stray, abandoned or having left on their own accord, seeking to lead instead of follow, where they often find themselves at the head of a goblin tribe. Think about how the character came to be, how they ended on the Material Plane, what their true goals might be, what motivates them forward, and think of a name worthy of the despicable nature they all possess.
