The '''Imp''' in [[Doom 3]] is humanoid in shape, has a grey skin with bony scales on its arms and 10 eyes. It emits a more high-pitched screech this time. These monsters are tall and aggressive, and stand a full head taller than a normal human.

The Imp generally walks slowly towards the player, but it can climb walls as well (note that all Imp wall-crawling are scripted actions for when an Imp first enters an area. Once on the ground, Imps are limited by their A.I. to simple walking). Most of the times they will ambush the player, hiding behind doors or climbing on the roof. They can either throw explosive fireballs from their hands that travel in an arc, attack with their claws or pounce forward in a scratching attack. Occasionally, they will pounce sideways when hit to dodge additional fire.
Evading its fireballs is fairly easy once players get used to their traveling arc. Moving forward and ducking whenever the Imp tosses its projectile is the easiest way to avoid being hit. In more open areas, strafing sideways also works if there's enough space to do so. Their fireballs have minimal splash damage causing a couple points of damage, so take that into consideration when dodging.
