Imp (Doom)


 * Not the be confused with the fifth-dimensional race of the same name

"You thought an imp was a cute little dude in a red suit with a pitchfork. Where did these brown [Expletive Removed] come from? They heave balls o' fire down your throat and take several bullets to die. It's time to find a weapon better than that pistol if you're going to face more than one of these S.O.B.s."

- Doom instruction manual

The Imp is a creature whose appearance consists of a brown, muscular, humanoid body, red eyes, and white spikes protruding from its upper arms and chest.

Combat Characteristics
The Imp will make a loud hiss when it detects a threat and will launch a ranged attack by throwing a large fireball in that direction. At close range, the Imp will switch to a melee claw attack (Melee combat between an Imp should be avoided). The Imp and it's fireball projectiles move rather slow, this makes it easier to dodge when in combat with a single one but unfortunately, Imps are usually found in packs which will make their fireballs slightly harder to dodge. When defeated, the Imp will let out one of two distinct snarls which will sound like "Nuuuuuh!" and "Eeeergh!"
