Imp

Imps are lesser devils found in the Nine Hells and in the Elemental Plane of Fire, but occasionally residing peaceably among mortals on Exandria.

Appearance
Imps differ somewhat in appearance — some are dark, ashen-grey with yellow eyes, others red — but they are generally described as looking like tiny, leathery-skinned, winged humanoids with barbed tails and sharp teeth. They are capable of turning invisible, and their tails have potent poison stingers. Some have been seen wearing armor.

Abilities
Much of the following is taken from the Monster Manual, 5th Edition, p. 76, but some traits are demonstrated onstream and timestamped.

Imps are resistant to cold damage and bludgeoning/piercing/slashing from nonmagical weapons that aren't silvered. They are immune to fire and poison damage and to poisoned condition. In addition, imps have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
