| The '''Imp''', also known as '''Chibidevil''', is a recurring enemy in the ''[[Mana (series)|Mana]]'' series. They are little floating horned purple creatures wielding an oversized fork or trident as a weapon. They are mischevious devils that enjoy casting hindering magic to their opponent. Their design is reminiscent of medieval depictions of lesser demons in the christian tradition. | | |image=[[File:Chibi Devil TOM artwork.gif|200px]]<br>artwork of an imp from ''Trials of Mana'' |

| ==General Information== | | ==History== |
| ===Physical Description=== | | ===''Secret of Mana''=== |
| Imps are small demons with cat-like heads and small bat wings holding a large fork in their hand. They often harbor a grin and/or furrowed brows on their face. Early games made their feet and spear yellow while modern installments added a small forked cape to their design and recolored their weapon to purple or blue, matching their overall palette. Their signature attack can [[Shrink (status)|shrink]] party members.
| |
| | |
| ===Attributes===
| |
| Most Imps can be seen haunting creepy or dimly lit places like castles, ruins, grottoes, forests, temples, etc. Being demons, they also enjoy lurking in places where evil thrives and will often be encountered near the main antagonist.
| |
| | |
| Imps are creatures of evil and thus favor the [[Shade|dark]] element, though some games also add a resistance to the [[Jinn|wind]] element. They are almost always weak to [[Wisp|light]] magic spells.
| |
| | |
| ===Variants===
| |
| The Imp family is composed of a few stronger relatives.
| |
| | |
| * The [[Gremlin]] is typically the tougher version of the Imp, and is sometimes encountered as a boss.
| |
| | |
| * The [[Imp (Sword of Mana)|Dark Imp]] is a rare breed of Imp in ''[[Sword of Mana]]''. It takes over after the player defeats 1,000 regular Imps. Like very dark enemy, its boosted stats make it a fearsome enemy.

| Imps come back way stronger than they were in the previous game, and can now be encountered in the [[Northtown Ruins]], the [[Palace of Darkness]], the [[Grand Palace]], and the [[Mana Fortress]]. They can use an array of offensive fire-elemental spell, inflict the [[Burning (status)|Engulfed]] status effect to allies and even cast [[Cure Water]] to cure themselves and other weakened monsters. They should be taken down first when encountered in a mob.

| |
| Imps return in ''Trials of Mana'', this time located at the [[Laurent|Laurentian]] region and aboard the [[Ghost Ship]]. They can blow a magical bubble to turn allies into shrunken versions of themselves, severely hindering their attack and defense power. This is mitigated by their low endurance which makes them easy to take down.
