An imp is a small, mischievous demon often found in folklore and mythology. Typically depicted as a playful trickster, imps are known for causing minor chaos and mischief rather than serious harm. They are often associated with witchcraft and dark magic, serving as familiars or helpers to more powerful supernatural beings. In various cultures, imps are portrayed with distinct physical features, such as pointed ears, sharp teeth, and a small stature. They can be found in stories from different traditions, including European folklore and Christian demonology, where they are sometimes seen as lesser demons serving a more significant evil force.
