After publisher CDV let last week pass by w/o a Divine Divinity feature because of the tragic events in NYC, they now pick up where they left off.
This week's feature is basically an introduction to one of the monster classes you'll encounter in Larian Studios' highly promising fantasy RPG. In concreto, it deals with the imps, small, agile and very dangerous little critters.
Check out the background info below and check out these new screenshots + artwork in our gallery.
The Imps
The origin of the imps is somewhat of a mystery. Nobody's really sure where they came from, but everybody does have his own theory. Some say the imps are magical in nature, and that their existence is the result of a magical experiment that went horribly wrong during the time of the council of seven.

One thing is for sure : nobody ever managed to ask an imp about their origin. And if anybody asked them, then that person didn't survive long enough to hear the answer. Imps are notoriously savage, attacking anybody who doesn't smell like an imp. Their favorite weapon for killing a lone traveller is a little blow-pipe through which they blow poisonous darts at their victim. When facing a group of enemies they bring in their raiders and shamans. The imp raiders ride horrible giant spiders, spiders which on their own are already terrible foes. The shamans master potent magic, and rumor has it that they can kill by speaking a single word. Of late, imp settlements have been spotted in the wastelands to the far east of Rivertown, making this a dangerous place to travel through...
