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 assistants to more powerful supernatural beings. In various cultures, imps are portrayed with distinct features, such as pointed ears, small horns, and a mischievous grin. They can be found in stories from European folklore to fantasy literature, where they embody the spirit of mischief and playfulness, often leading humans into humorous predicaments.
