Behavior & Combat Notes
Cowardly tricksters who love to be known but not seen. Classic pranks include swapping gear for junk found in their territory. Will not attack unless cornered or feeling ignored — at which point they attack boldly once per round then try to flee. Use fog transformation to avoid physical retaliation. Groups of 3–12.
Fog imps are cowards who do not like to be seen but like to be known. They are tricksters, willing to play a trick on someone, such as swap out their gear for any odd item, including very rarely better gear, found within it’s domain, and then hide and watch the affected person’s reaction with amusement. Unlike some other imps, fog imps will not attack unless they feel corned and have no way out except to attack or if they feel like their tricks are being ignored or ridiculed and then do so just for the attention they so desire.
The fog imp will boldly attack once, each round and then try to flee. If the fog imp cannot try to flee by the end of it’s active round, and is near another enemy target, it may or may not decide to attack that target as well. The fog imp also may decide to attack it’s enemies enemy targets, just for their reaction. Fog imps have a natural ability to transition into fog to avoid a physical attack, thus magical attacks work best against them.
