A stone imp

The stone imp is a returning monster in Doom: The Dark Ages. It is a mutated version of the normal imp that can be identified by the green electrical arcs on its head and arms.

Tactical analysis

Stone imps have the same attacks and behaviors as normal imps, but they can also roll towards the Doom Slayer at high speed to inflict damage, similar to their previous incarnation. Parrying (not merely blocking) the stone imp's roll will kill it, releasing green projectiles towards other enemies.

Stone imps are immune to shield throws thanks to their rocky skin, but a shield charge will cause them to explode and damage nearby demons.

Lore

Stone imps are mutated normal imps created by the war priests of Prince Ahzrak. They were bred in underground biomatter vats which increase their aggression to supercharged levels. They exist in a perpetual state of mindless fury.
