Imps

imps

Imps are little winged creatures who have been summoned and hatched into existence by magic. These days, most individuals who wield powerful magic are nefarious sorcerers and witches, and imps often find themselves escaping the clutches of such fiends. Imps vary widely in disposition, but many are clever folk, if not knavish, who value freedom and excitement. They share distinctly large toothy grins, bright leathery skin, small bat-like wings and dangly lizardy feet. All imps can hover with their wings, but flying is difficult and tiring, and they can't carry their inventory while doing so.
