| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Imp familiar |
| Master | Zen au Kouréas (first campaign, Eritessa) |
| Status | Unknown — first campaign ended, Zen became Archlich |
| Legacy | Progenitor of the Imp bloodline spread across Kouréas |
Overview
Pimp the Imp was Zen au Kouréas’s Imp familiar during the first campaign on Eritessa. He served Zen throughout the necromancer’s adventuring years — present for the rise of the Forbidden Fruits Orchard, the creation of the Seven Deadly Sips, and Zen’s eventual transformation into an Archlich.
His bloodline — whether by offspring, corruption, or imp clan mechanics — has spawned multiple descendants across Kouréas who appear throughout the Echoes of ITYS campaign.
Story
Name Lineage
The naming convention follows a pattern — rhyming with “Imp”:
- Pimp → Gimp → Limp (the Imp-Bizkit)
Each descendant’s name reflects their personality and role in the story. The chain is intentional lore — these aren’t random Imps, they’re a dynasty.
Campaign Significance
The Imp bloodline is a recurring comedic and narrative thread across the entire Echoes of ITYS campaign. Each new Imp variant is a callback to Zen’s legacy, tying the first campaign’s events to the current one.
Appearances
- 240208-ch0.2 (⏱ 00:24:54) — Zen’s giant grafted-arm imp mini-boss; tears off Ram Sugar’s arms into the orb and attacks with Flame Hurl hellfire; his death triggers the Four Horsemen.
- 240222-ch0.3 (⏱ 00:23:30) — Gray’s ‘brother’, another of Zen’s later creations; did not get along with Gray.
- 260610-ch4.8 (⏱ 21:23:25) — The party’s group name (originally their band name from the Battle of the Bands); the only name they’ve ever used, by which the solar Eustus identifies them.
