About

Blood drips from the lips of this crimson fiend.

Agents of Death. Blood imps are the devilish servants of gods of blood, death, and decay. On the Material Plane they are often found hastening the deaths of sacrifices and drinking spilled blood in the names of their masters.

Temple Bane. Blood imps despise the temples of gods of life and healing. The devils are driven to a mad rage when close to the altar of such a deity and go out of their way to defile or destroy it.

Blood Imp Familiars

Blood imps often serve the followers of their deities and encourage those followers to shed blood wherever they go. Such imps have the following trait.

The imp can serve another creature as a familiar, forming a magic, telepathic bond with that willing companion. While the two are bonded, the companion can sense what the imp senses as long as they are within 1 mile of each other. While the imp is within 10 feet of its companion, the companion shares the imp’s Magic Resistance trait. At any time and for any reason, the imp can end its service as a familiar, ending the telepathic bond.
