Imp defender

Imp defenders may release the impling and knock your jar a few steps away during the Impetuous Impulses minigame if you catch an impling or are holding an impling near one. If you carry an imp repellant imp defenders have a less chance of releasing your impling. Their success rate is apparently dependant on your thieving level. At approximately fifty thieving they will stop trying to free their brethren. They are only found on Puro-Puro which makes catching imps in Gielinor much easier if your thieving level is low. They look like a normal imp, except the fact that they are wearing armour.

Before 22nd October 2007, imp defenders did not work. All they did was walk. This was fixed when the Halloween Event was released.
