Imp

Encyclopedia Entry:
A minor demon native to the demon realm. Though they were once carnivorous, in recent times they have adopted the lifestyle of the succubi, feeding on the spirit energy of human men. They stop growing early in their lives, and so look like children even as adults. They like to play the part of the child as well, acting foolish and giggling incessantly. In truth they are utterly selfish and care about nothing but their own pleasures, both sexual and sadistic.



They are usually found in groups. When a man passes nearby, they will all attack at once, forcing him to the ground even as they fight to be the first to partake of his spirit energy. There are few encounters more dangerous than a swarm of aroused imps. Fortunately they are seldom found outside of the demon realm.

Because the services of a minor demon come cheaply, many sorcerers and witches use imps as familiars. A male sorcerer can establish a contract wherein he feeds the imp with small doses of his own spirit energy. In exchange the imp serves him as an assistant and bodyguard. If the sorcerer fails to give his familiar her due, she will quite happily rape it out of him. A sorcerer who fails to monitor his own energy levels and becomes too weak to cancel the contract will be at the mercy of the imp, who will slowly drain him of his spirit energy bit by bit over the next few weeks.
