Irritating Imps

As the name suggests, these devils are by far one of the most irritating beings to encounter.

Habitat
Environment-wise, Imps prefer areas where they have easy escape routes and hiding places. This makes cities, ruins, and forests their favorite places to live. Cellars and rafters are particularly popular locations for them to squat in.

Biology
Imps are small, childlike humanoid creatures with bald heads, a tail, and slightly pointed ears. They wear seemingly random pieces of clothing that are oftentimes not putting it on correctly. The skin of Imps is commonly red or purple in color, varying in brightness and saturation from somewhat vibrant to dull greys with only a hint of color. They vary in size between that of a newborn baby and one meter in height. Imps have been mostly seen as skinny creatures, but some have been witnessed to be on the heavier side. Many imps have shown that they are very good climbers and incredibly agile. Their agility is useful for avoiding attacks and hiding.

Imps have great hand-eye coordination that allows them to very precisely toss objects at people. Furthermore, they also expect people to toss things back at them, causing them to have a special reflex that allows them to easily dodge ballistics, including arrows. These devils do not seem to have much in the way of an offensive presence, relying more on range and taunting to annoy their foes. When forced into a physical confrontation, they will fight as dirty as they can. Hair-pulling, cheap shots, biting - an Imp will use every trick in the book to survive.

Sociology
Imps are mischievous creatures, and will try to infuriate their victims in many ways. Taunting, pranking, and attacking are commonplace. Imps are not very good at human speech, but they can mimic certain words much like a parrot can. Swear words or incriminating phrases are their favorites, which they use to gleefully taunt people with. They often perch themselves on tree branches or rafters to toss things at people or taunt them.

Imps preferentially go after children and people who are short-tempered. These devils absolutely hate it when they are ignored or get a taste of their own medicine, which usually results in them leaving the initial victim alone and finding someone else to bully.

They have been encountered either alone or in pairs and sometimes in terribly large groups… It’s currently unknown which is more natural for these devils.

Trivia
They don’t seem to need to consume food or anything physical like most devils do and simply thrive entirely out of making others as miserable as possible.
