Imps

These small, red-winged beings outnumber any other species of Chaos. They have bulbous gold eyes, wickedly curved talons and fangs, and black leathery skin. They love pain, perhaps more than the others of Chaos- if that were possible. Their long, thin tails end in a barb that can contain poison or lash out as a cruel whip.

Imps have a high tolerance for heat and flames, enough that they can stick their hands in a forge's flames and shape metal with their bare hands; consequently, they also have a very low tolerance for cold temperatures. Imps keep their homes warm; nagham/imp homes are not uncommon, and often high in temperature. Smithing is a favorite pasttime for some imps, and there are a few legends concerning imps and the fires of hell. There is some dispute among Chaosians as to the origins of imps--imps claim that they are descended from demons who bred with other species, while demons, denying any blood connection of the mass impurification of demon blood, say that imps are decended from a clan of demons who angered Her, and so she changed their forms to something more suitable.
