This is a small but very intelligent creature from the Sphere of Entropy. It is a one foot tall humanoid with two bat wings in the back, two little horns on its head, a pointy tail, and rubbery skin. The red imp often wears a small cloak.
The imp seeks to destroy those who befriend it by offering help in exchange for their souls. It desires to trick the victim into signing a contract with his own blood. Upon gaining its seventh soul, it becomes a minor fiend in the Sphere of Entropy.
Imps always will help the victim as per the contract, but always indirectly and always in a manner to get the victim in trouble.
Red Imps are opposed by Blue Imps at every turn.

Combat
Red imps prefer to corrupt and seduce to achieve their ends and will avoid combat if possible. If forced into combat, it can bite and hit a foe with its barbed tail. Many red imps also use a +2 tiny trident as a weapon (note it becomes a cursed -2 weapon if the imp is killed).
