Cursed Imp is a unique, high-level variant of imp found in the Lower City.

Involvement

The Imp can be located on Lustrous Lass, the quarantined ship on the docks of the The Counting House, and is suggested to be related to the Sea Plague that resulted in the ship's quarantining.

Combat

Attacks and abilities

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
