Imp

For the article about the Imp caught with the Hunter skill, see Imp (Hunter).

Imps are one of the smallest and weakest creatures in RuneScape. They are central to the Imp Catcher quest, having been summoned by Wizard Grayzag to hide 4 different colours of beads, all of which must be collected for that quest. Though a miniature demon, they are NOT affected by the powers of Silverlight and Darklight. Holy Water is also ineffective. An imp may defend itself from a player's attack by disappearing in a puff of smoke and teleporting to a random nearby place.

The level 7 imps are found in the God wars dungeon. These are not aggressive to players who have a Zamorak item equipped.

Trivia

 * Imps have the ability to teleport themselves into areas that players can't reach (pictured left).
 * During the 2005 Christmas event, imps in and around Varrock wore red or green coats and trousers, and players could shake the imps to acquire baubles for the event.

 * For the 2007/2008 Christmas event, Snow imps could teleport players to the Land of Snow.
 * Imps sometimes teleport into banks, onto islands, and even inside some of the walls of Falador, where they can not be attacked.
 * Wizard Grayzag used to summon black imps that fought alongside him.
 * In the older days of Runescape, imps were gnomes in imp suits. In Runescape Classic, imps looked just like very small versions of lesser and greater demons.
 * Impling defenders are special types of imps. They are encountered in the Impetuous Impulses minigame.
 * Imps were formerly believed to be the weakest form of demon, but, according to Evil Dave, the Hellrats in his basement are the weakest.
 * There is an imp pacing around on a stool behind Mr. Mordaut in the Surprise Exam! random event, he wears a white conical paper hat. In real life, someone with a white, cone shaped hat in a classroom is known as a dunce.
 * If a player talked to the imp captured in the magic box, the imp's mug shot would resemble its old version instead of the new one and the artwork suggested. This was since updated.
 * There is a chance that the Thingummywuts are imps due to the fact that the Thingummywuts are said to cause trouble in the wizard's tower, and Grayzag summons imps to cause trouble in the wizards tower and all over RuneScape.
 * Other than K'ril Tsutsaroth, Imps are one of the very few demons to attack with a weapon.
