Imp

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. As a miniature demon, they are affected by the powers of Silverlight and Darklight. Sometimes, when a player attacks an imp, it may disappear into a puff of smoke and teleport to a random nearby place.

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

Hunter imps
At level 71 Hunter, players may hunt imps with magic boxes to catch them using the Hunter skill. When caught, an imp will take two items or stacks to the bank for the player. When this is done, the imp will disappear and the magic box it was in can be re-used.

Trivia

 * 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 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.
 * Implings and 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 walking around the table behind Mr. Mordaut in the Surprise Exam! random event. He has a paper hat on his head and is the class clown.
 * If a player talks to the imp captured in the magic box, the imp's mug shot resembles its old version instead of the new one and the artwork suggested.
