'''Imps''' are troublesome | '''Imps''' are a race of troublesome pig-like creatures. Although Imps initially served the people of [[Gallowmere]] as household servants, they eventually rebelled in 1286 during the [[Battle of Gallowmere]] by joining forces with the evil sorcerer [[Zarok]]. They continued to serve Zarok until his defeat in 1386 and continued to exist as a race up to at least the late 19th century where some Imps were part of [[The Freakshow|a freakshow]] in [[London]]. | ||

Back in [[King Peregrin]]'s day, Imps were often kept as household servants. Sadly, those were cruel times, and many Imps were treated very poorly by their masters. | Back in [[King Peregrin]]'s day, Imps were often kept as household servants.

On the morning of the [[Battle of Gallowmere]], every last one of King Peregrin's men awoke to find his House Imp gone, and along with them, every last undergarment in the kingdom.

By 1386, Imps were still Zarok's minions. They occupied [[The Hilltop Mausoleum]], [[Scarecrow Fields]], [[The Crystal Caves]] and [[The Entrance Hall]]. They generally preferred to use torches as weapons, though some were more keen on keeping their hands empty so that they could steal the weapons of questing adventurers. | |||

[[File:ImpMED2.png|thumb]] In 1886, some Imps were a part of a [[London]] [[The Freakshow|freakshow]]. When the freakshow's [[Ringmaster]] went missing however, the Imps started going crazy and began building an army of [[Standard Elephant-Bots|elephant bots]] to storm the city with. Their efforts were thankfully foiled by the resurrected Hero of Gallowmere [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]]. A few Imps later appeared at the [[Iron Slugger (level)|boxing match]] between [[Dankenstein]] and the [[Iron Slugger]] where they tried to hinder Dankenstein by tossing his lost limbs around outside the ring. | |||
==Strategy== | |||
Imps are generally not difficult enemies to dispatch. A few swings from one of Dan's swords or a blunt weapon like the [[Club]] or [[Hammer]] should finish them off fairly quickly. One only needs to be careful around their thieving variant who can carry Dan's weapon away and sell it off to a [[Merchant Gargoyle]]. | |||
