Imp

Imps are creatures that originated from the Shadowfel, they were once slaves of the Shadar-Kai. As their population began to grow out of control due to their excessive breeding, the Shadar-Kai gathered as many Imps and their eggs as they could find, and destroyed them.

The Imps that remained realized quickly that they were no longer safe, even in slavery, in the Shadowfel. A Shadar-Kai wizard's apprentice named Vasanna took pity on the creatures, and secretly aided a small pack of Imps with transport to the Material plane via portal.

The Imps made their homes in the forests and the mountains, and for centuries lived in peace. Until the humans began to expand their kingdoms, and their industry drove them into Imp's homes. They slaughtered many of the Imps, destroyed their homes and nests, and harvested the wood and ore they came for.

The once peaceful race became vengeful, and their war began. Imps hate all civilized races, and will attempt to destroy any piece of society they can, providing they have the numbers.

The common Imp stands roughly 3 feet in height, weighs around 30 lbs. They are savage, cruel, and merciless. They are also cowardly, and though it seems odd to humans, very good with animals. Imps are known to ride wolves and other small beasts on patrols, and use birds and owls to send messages between packs in their very crude language of undercommon. They are affectionate to their own, and to animals, it is the races of men they despise.
