Nettling Imp

By and far, imps are the most common of all devils, magically weak enough even to be summoned and coerced into serving as familiars for some spellcasters. But not every imp is created equal. Most are gifted with a poisonous barbed tail and the ability to change their shape, but others make do with more subtle skills. A nettling imp is such a creature, sharing only the magical invisibility of their brethren, but lacking the stinging tail and shapeshifting. However a nettling imp is far more clever than other imps, capable of deceit and trickery that will make even the most intelligent of creatures’ heads spin.   Poke and Prod A nettling imp uses its gift of gab to try and convince other creatures to act in the imp’s best interest, whether by convincing them, intimidating them, or outright lying. Nettling imps are gifted with magical charisma, and their most nefarious trick is the ability to drive other creatures to temporary madness. With only a light touch, a nettling imp causes a creature to behave wildly, making them unpredictably and even uncharacteristically aggressive for a small moment. A nettling imp is capable of using this magic even while invisible, lowering the chance that their attempts to drive a target mad will bite them in the rear.
