This section contains canon info from officially published sources |
The assassin imp is a fiend sometimes given by the Dark Powers to a mage of Lawful Evil alignment whom casts the find familiar spell. Like any dread familiar, an assassin imp is loyal to its master to a fault, viciously murdering any it sees as a threat to its master, even when the master wishes it not. These murders are usually committed in cruelly ironic ways. Moreover, an assassin imp binds its master to the Demiplane of Dread as it perishes if its master escapes, causing the usual penalties.[1]
Assassin imps may be encountered in the Shadow Rift[2].

"Evina gently placed the teapot upon her table, then walked over to her window, and opened it. A shadowy blur oozed into the little girl's room, whereupon a tiny red man appeared, seated at the table.
""I'm sorry I was late: I was helping Mother bake bread for the MacIntires. Their house burned down last night."
""Yes, I know, milady," the imp said. "It's not the tardiness that troubles me. Your mother is a silly, foolish woman to give anything to those inbred savages. Why, wasn't it just yesterday that Billy MacIntire threw a dirt clod at you, milady?"
""Mother said that all who suffer deserve kindness, even if they don't deserve it." The imp broke a cookie in half and poured a little cream.
""I see, milady. Still, I'm not terribly sure if your mother trusts you."
""Why not?" Evina became flustered, and started rearranging the flowers in the vase on her dresser. "She let me boil our tea, and she even gave me the shears to cut my own flowers so the stems wouldn't be raggedy."
""Forgive, milady, I know it pains you to hear anyone speak ill of your mother, as, after all, you owe your whole existence to her, but, let me rephrase what I'm trying to say..." It put its cup and half-eaten cookie down and got up from the table. "If your mother trusts you, like you say, then why did she hire strange men, armed to the teeth, no less, to spy on you in your closet?"
"And with a flourish of its arm, it opened Evina's closet, revealing Claude's hiding place."
-from the journal of Jerome Delacroix, Mordentish explorer[3]
