There is an Impostor among us.
~ The game if there is one Impostor in a match, and the game's most iconic line.

The Impostors are the player-controlled main antagonists of Among Us. Doppelgangers of the friendly Crewmates found among their group, players who are selected to be Impostors have the task of killing all players that are not them or another Impostor, either through direct murder, a dangerous sabotage that is unable to be stopped, or through incriminating their fellow players.

Biography

Within every match in Among Us, there can be anywhere from one to three Impostors, which each sharing the same goal of killing everyone who is not one of them. Due to this, instead of having the ability to complete tasks, they have a variety of other abilities they can use in an attempt to end the lives of their foes. Of course, their main ability to kill anyone nearby them, by either shooting out their barbed tongue, snapping their neck, or simply using a knife or pistol. Alongside this, they have the ability to either cause certain objects to malfunction (With effects ranging from the object causing the players to fail after a certain amount of time without it being fixed, obscure tasks by messing with communications, causing the lights to break down to allow the player to have a easier time kill or escape under the cover of darkness, or shutting doors), hide in or move across vents for easy movement options, and having the usual ability to report bodies and use objects to reduce suspicion around them.

Once a body has been discovered or the emergency button is pressed, the usual meeting begins, with players meant to use the time to discuss on their knowledge or suspicions regarding their suspects and vote those they deem to be likely an Impostor out. As a Impostor, a common tactic is to pin blame on a Crewmate or falsify a testimony in order to have a innocent be voted out. If a Impostor themselves is voted out yet another Impostor/other Impostors remain, the ghost of the Impostor is still able to sabotage machines from beyond the grave, although they lose the ability to kill.

The Impostors win if the amount of surviving Crewmates ever equal their numbers, and they lose if all of them are voted out or if the Crewmates complete all of their tasks before the stated Impostor win condition.

Trivia

  • The Impostors are heavily implied to be aliens, as shown through their spear-like tongues and sharp teeth, possible ability to survive without oxygen judging by it being a win condition, inability to be scanned, always consistent pulse on the Vital Signs Machine, and alien entities existing in Among Us.
  • The chance of any one player being an Impostor is dependent on the numbers of players that are in the beginning of a round, with examples including a 25% chance if five players exist in the start of the game and a 10% chance if the maximum of ten players exist in the start of a game.
