Imp is Hordak's shape-shifting spy.

Although Imp made a fair few appearances in the She-Ra series, he is historically a very
undeveloped character. However to make up for such a loss, his personality is crafted perfectly.
To make it blatant, Imp is a suck-up to his master, causing all the other Hordesmen to detest him
thoroughly. To make matters worse, he even makes light of their failures and influences Hordak
to relieve his anger by taking it out on the other members of the Horde. [
55, 78] Hatred of the
character has been shown from Catra, Shadow Weaver, Scorpia and Entrapta to name the main
opposition. It seems the rest of the Horde members were either too stupid (Grizzlor, Leech) or too
innocent (Mantenna) to make a point of picking an arguement with Imp, though they also showed
signs of disliking him.

Without his master, however, it would seem that Imp is completely powerless, as far as status
goes. Catra had him wrapped around her little finger when attempting to take-over Elf World [
54]
and the entire Force Squad threatened to deal with him once and for all when Hordak had been
outcast by Skeletor. [
56]

However, it isn't just the other Horde members that hate Imp so much, clearly the Rebels do too,
and with good reason. Fittingly, his similar-sized counterpart Kowl is the Rebel with whom the
biggest grudge is held, particularly because of the time Imp tried to frame the bird as being a spy
for Hordak. [
43] Kowl, clearly, wasn't best pleased.

Imp's role as a Horde spy has come in handy many a time, with the little creep, so put by
Catra [
46], hearing of the skillful Red Knight [08], Adora's enchanted but useless locket [81] and the
birth of Swift Wind's baby on Unicorn Island. [
93] However, his prime power is one of
transformation in a similar way to his master Hordak and the less prominent character of Multi-Bot.
Usually maintaining his prime blue colour, Imp has transformed into objects such as a bush [
23],
a loudhorn [
55] and even a pair of scissors to do battle with Entrapta's locks! [79]
Only twice has Imp appeared unexpectedly from transformation having not adopted his obvious
shade. Once as a painting [
17] and another time as a squirrel. [24]

Imp was a much more powerful character than he may appear at a brief glance. Though his
powers of transformation were often used to comical effect, his metamorphasis into a Flame
Thrower [
57] proved his strength to its full extent, causing a jungle-fire which spread through the
quiter regions of Beast Island.
