Imp is a little creature of the Horde and seemed to be Hordak's pet for the majority of the series.
Personality[]
Imp is subservient to Hordak but also resists and mocks him as well. At one point, when Hordak is raging, Imp pulls Entrapta away from his master, showing that Imp has empathy and may have befriended Entrapta.
Appearance[]
Imp looks like a mixture of a toddler and a bat with teal-gray wings and hair, yellow eyes and a teal skin. He has pale red fangs, long elf-like ears and a long devil-like tail. He looks quite similar to the failed clone experiments of Hordak, hinting that he may be a failed clone himself. His design is similar to a gargoyle.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Flight: Thanks to his wings, Imp can fly.
- Audio Recordation: Imp has the ability to record and repeat what other people say. Lord Hordak used this to his advantage often.
Abilities[]
- Stealth: He appears to be skilled in stealth and spying, mostly on fellow members of the Horde.
- Spying: Imp is extremely good at spying on other people in the Fright Zone. His stealth and flight combined means that he can move around quickly and quietly.
Relationships[]
Hordak[]
Imp shows to be steadfast to his master.
Entrapta[]
Imp seems to care for Entrapta, as shown in the episode "Huntara" when he kicked Hordak in order to make him thank Entrapta in some way after she makes his exoskeleton. He also gently pulls her away by her hair when Hordak yells at her to leave. He is seemingly comfortable with Emily, by extension.
Plot []
Past[]
Imp's past and origin remains unknown.
Season One[]
Imp is seen near Hordak's throne in the episode "Razz".
Season Two[]
He makes an appearance in "Signals", inside Hordak's sanctum.
Season Three[]
Imp is seen in Hordak's sanctum in the episodes "Huntara", "Moment of Truth" and "Remember".
Season Four[]
In Season Four, when Hordak was speculating to himself, he asked, "Was this your doing, Entrapta?" Upon hearing this, Imp repeated his master's voice, seemingly understanding Hordak's emotions.
In another episode, Double Trouble shapeshifts their tail to look like Imp's devil tail, at which the small flying creature seemed pleased.
Season Five[]
Imp is seen in "Heart Part 2" with Kyle, Rogelio, and Lonnie in a baby harness worn by Rogelio. It may be assumed that when the trio deserted the Horde, they took Imp with them.
Trivia[]
- According to ND Stevenson, Imp's entry in the initial pitch was just "DEVIL CHILD! DEVIL CHILD!" with no elaboration.[1]
