Implings: The Terrors of Your Nightmares

 * Written by a moderately biased reporter.

What creature in Gielinor has an adorable face that is frightening at the same time, floats or teleports into bedrooms at night, and likes to snatch peoples' belongings while saying "Tee hee!"?

The impling.

Implings are among the smallest but most terrifying things in the world. You cannot avoid them, because they can be found anywhere. You cannot hide from them, because they can fly over impassable terrain. And if you somehow manage to do one of the above, the implings' unearthly giggles will chill you to the bone and, in severe cases, cause death from fright.

But what's even scarier is that three more species of implings were just discovered.

Among these three new implings is the Kingly impling, which has been named the most intelligent (and therefore most dangerous) creature currently in existence. It wears clothes. Not just any clothes, but royal clothes. Any impling that wears royal clothing has clearly studied the select individuals who govern our land, and as such, our executives are in grave danger. Just earlier today, King Roald of Varrock suffered public embarrassment when a Kingly impling stripped him of the royal garments he was wearing as he was giving a speech.

The other two implings are of little threat, however. The Zombie impling, which is an undead impling that enjoys plundering bones from graves, is hardly scary at all. And the Spirit impling? Heh, nothing to worry– by Saradomin's eyebrow hairs, it wears armbands?! Oh man.

Well, people have continuously been seen catching implings with nets and storing them in jars. This is quite possibly the most dangerous hobby anyone could choose to enjoy. But recently, there have been reports of people catching implings with their bare hands. You should not attempt to invoke an impling's wrath, much less stuff one into a jar. It might decide to break out one day and chew your hand apart. Besides, jars serve far more useful functions than storing such disgustingly cute horrors inside them.

Whatever you do, avoid the implings' home plane or it'll be the last thing you'll ever do.
