A '''wimp''' (formerly Xemime and Demonica) is a rare, blue pallet swap of the imp. It is a common complaint among players of ''DQIV'' that, when filling out their [['The Big Book of Beasts'|'Big Book of Beasts']], they are often missing the Wimp, as it is hard to encounter. Completing the entire monster book awards the player 250,000 tokens for use in the casinos in [[Endor]] and [[Immigrant Town]].

The '''Morrimp''' is a new monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series and it was introduced in the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake of ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. Morrimps are a subspecies of the imp that are clearly inspired by '''[[Morrie]]''' of the same game they debuted in.  This demon, as the name suggests, has the color scheme of Morrie's clothes with their "costume" constantly having red and green colors everywhere, also in their wings. They wear black gloves and boots of black leather. The pitchfork is replaced by a white spear with golden details and a [[Slime stack|slime stack]] figurine inserted on it.

Revision as of 11:08, 20 April 2019

The Imp is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest III, they are small, purple demons armed with pitchforks.

Description

Imps are small demons that more closely resemble mischievous children in purple demon costumes, given the way their faces appear to be showing from the headpiece of such a costume. They are armed with pitchforks, and constantly have their tongues sticking out, which often affects their speech.

Despite their unassuming appearance, imps have access to some of the most potent spells known, such as Kaboom and Kathwack, and while this may cause a scare, they almost never have the energy necessary to cast these high-end spells but try to all the same, often to humorous results. Due to this, they are one of the more comical, inept monsters that can be found in the series, but can still prove dangerous in some titles. Because of their magical knowledge, armament, and position as demons, imps are regularly believed to be the infantile forms of archdemons.
