Imp

Imps are the most common enemies found throughout the Doom games, and are the lowest form of demon among the hellish enemies the Doom guy faces. The imp's primary form of attack is a relatively slow moving, non-homing fireball that does average damage. At close range, the imp employs a slashing attack. Imps do not have much health, and can be felled in a single shotgun blast. Like all demonic enemies, they do not drop ammunition upon death. Imps may be revived by Arch-Viles and are not hurt by imp fireballs. Imps are also the most annoying little fucks in the game and in large packs, they can do a lot of damage.

If an imp is nearby, the game will play a sound effect DSGBACT.
