Imps (DC)

"spurn your beloved for Aphrodite!" ~ Imp Female

Imps are a seasonal enemy faction found in DC Universe Online and are the rivals of Cherubs - being in many ways the mirror-opposite in ideals and appearance, while Cherubs are proud champions of Devotion Imps seem to be the exact opposite and exist to cause trouble for lovers everywhere.

During the Valentine's Day themed events in Aphrodite's Realm heroes face off against Imps as part of the campaign to ensure that Devotion remains the dominant force following Circe's attempts to take over.

Although they despise one another it is possible for Imps to be converted into Cherubs via being dragged into special fountains, though the Imps will not go down without a fight and will attempt to devour nearby hearts (symbolic, not literal) in order to escape.

Imp males have a gruff and tough personality while the female Imps are quite vindictive and cruel, both are totally opposed to the actions of the almost stereotypically "good" Cherubs.
