Introduced in {{DQ3}}, they are small, purple demons armed with pitchforks.


==Description==
==Description==
Imps are small demons that more closely resemble mischievous children in purple demon costumes, given the way their faces appear to be showing from the headpiece of such a costume. They are armed with pitchforks, and constantly have their tongues sticking out, which often affects their speech.
Imps are small demons that more closely resemble mischievous children in purple demon costumes, given the way their faces appear to be showing from the headpiece of such a costume. They are armed with pitchforks, and constantly have their tongues sticking out, which often affects their speech.


Despite their unassuming appearance, imps have access to some of the most potent spells known, such as [[Kaboom]] and [[Kathwack]], and while this may cause a scare, they almost never have the energy necessary to cast these high-end spells but try to all the same, often to humorous results. Due to this, they are one of the more comical, inept monsters that can be found in the series, but can still prove dangerous in some titles. Because of their magical knowledge, choice of weapon, and lore referring to them being juvenile forms of powerful [[Demon family|demons]], imps are regularly believed to be the infantile states of [[Archdemon]]s.

An {{NPC}} Imp appears on 2F of a building in [[Asham]] and is attempting to disguise itself when the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} come across it.
It attacks them, but goes down.  The Imp despite recognizing the {{Party 3}} when they change their form to a monster with the [[Mod Rod]] or seeing them when they're Invisible, won't attack them.
The Imp will respawn when after the player leaves the town in the {{NES}} version.  The SFC version and all remakes turn it into a one time encounter.

Imps are likely to first be encountered whilst climbing the [[Tower of Alexandria]]. While they are prone to miserably failing at casting powerful spells, they may perform a cool breath attack that can be very dangerous at this point of the adventure.

First appearing from the start of Version 2 onwards, Imps are first encountered in the False Renshinda. While they still fail at casting Kaboom, they can cast Boom and spew a Freezing Blizzard while blocking enemy attacks and spells with their forks. In addition, Imps can also be recruited while learning Kaboom by investing 25 skill points into their Koaku Magic skill tree.
