Background
- Known Relatives: Other demons.
- Group Affiliation: Forces of Hell.
- Base Of Operations: Mobile.

Powers and Abilities
Dirty little dogshit-coloured bastards that heave balls of fire around, and have electrified bone spikes jutting from their bodies.
They can take a few hits from most handguns without stopping (a shotgun at close range is another matter – Imp kebab). Luckily, their aim is not too good and their balls of fire are pretty slow-flying.

History
For the general background, see the Doom marine writeup. The Imps are among the least powerful creatures from Hell, but when in a pack can be a problem.
Description
Brown, vaguely reptilian humanoid with red eyes, bone spikes protruding from their bodies and long fangs and claws. Grr.
Personality
Roar at enemies, then advance while throwing flames until they are close enough to claw at their enemy, assuming said enemy has survived the prior attacks. Grr.
