Imps

Chapter 11

The Imp is a magical beast found only in Britain and Ireland, notable for its sense of slapstick humor. Imps are love tripping and pushing anybody they can get their hands on, as well as lobbing Wizard Crackers and other small projectiles at anybody that they wish to torment. While rather nonthreatening, an Imp can nonetheless be dispatched rather easily by anyone, by throwing back Wizard Crackers that it had thrown, or by using a Knockback Jinx to daze it, and then dropping it into the nearest cage, hole, or bottomless pit. The height of the Imp is considered comparable to that of the Pixie, between six to eight inches, but that is where the physical similarities ended. The Imp can't fly like the Pixie, nor is it as brightly colored. Imp breeding habits are like the Pixies, but their young hatch full formed. Imps make their homes in damp or marshy areas, where they indulge their slapstick sense of humor by pushing and tripping the unwary. The Imp's diet consisted mainly of insects.
