Imps are a species of small mischievous creatures in Skylands that first and most prominently appeared in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. They come in multiple varieties, each serving different roles throughout the games.
The most prominent type of Imps are small, droplet-shaped creatures, including Flame Imps, Frozen Fiends, and Gnashers, which are often seen as elemental nuisances or minor enemies.
Larger and more distinct Imps include Hob 'n' Yaros and Rocket Imps, which display more advanced behaviors and abilities, such as stealing and using weapons.
However, the most frequently appearing Imp throughout the games is the Lockmaster Imps, which hide inside Lock Puzzles and must be maneuvered to unlock gates. These Imps return in later games with different variations, such as jetpack-equipped versions in Skylanders: Trap Team and vehicle-piloting versions in Skylanders: SuperChargers.

Trivia
- In Skylanders: Giants, the Drow Archers reuse the model of the Rocket Imp, but they are still considered to be Drow rather than Imps.
- The Evil Imp Minion’s name implies that he is an Imp. However, his Skylander counterpart, Ghost Roaster, is classified as a Ghoul, not an Imp.
- In the 3DS level Tunnel of Love, there are statues of giant winged Drow Archers/Rocket Imps brandishing Bows, however none are fought in-game.
