Notes

• The imp is an unassuming but extremely dangerous foe, as its passive ability Caustic Retort will deal massive retaliatory damage upon any attackers.
• However, given its small stature, the imp can be easily shoved out of the ship and dies. Presumably through drowning as imps can usually recover from being shoved into chasms.
• Killing the imp will cleanse the ship of its plague clouds, as well as cure any characters infected with sea plague from entering the ship and failing the CON save.
• Has no special drops
