Variant of Kritter

Imps[1]Imps are a Type of Zombie variant of in Donkey Kong 64. They appear in Fungi Forest (in the nighttime) and Creepy Castle, both in which they appear semi-frequently. They also appear in two of the later Battle Arena Pad stages, of DK Isles and Creepy Castle.

Unlike BrownCoat Zombiss, Imps attack by swinging their Baseball Bat at the active Kong. Imps can be defeated after taking either one, two, or three hits. This is often based on the strength of the Kongs' direct attacks, with weaker attacks merely removing the Imp's head and left arm, while stronger attacks can defeat them without removing their body parts. Upon being defeated, Imps lose balance and collapse on the ground. The Kongs can instantly defeat an Imp by throwing an Orange at one (which would cause it to lose its head and left arm during the process), or by using their musical instrument.

Profiles

“Even without a head, these guys keep swinging, so keep your distance after hitting this toe. Punch-and-run is good tactic against these sword-bearing skeletons.”
