You see this tiny, little imp with lava like skin flying at you. You can see the heat coming of its body and you smell ash.
Volcano Imps are used to watch over the volcanoes in the hells. Not known for their intelligence or even cunning. They are still not to be under estimated as they can still be quit deadly and are willing to fallow the orders of those above them even to the death.
Those people that deal with volcano imps must watch it as the imp may make a deal in which its masters can step in and demand that the person that made the deal serve them for a time. Since many people know how stupid volcano imps are and think they will forget the deal. The thing is they don’t forget and do use their stupidity as a tool (even if they don’t know it).
Combat
Volcano imps start combat bye using their scorched skin spell like ability to weaken one target. Then it moves in and uses its magma spit on the same target. After which in attacks the closed opponent as best it can.
Fiery Aura (Ex): Merely being in the presence of a volcano imp is damaging. Any creature within 5 feet of a volcano imp automatically takes 1d6 points of fire damage.
Heat (Ex): A volcano imp generates so much heat that its mere touch deals additinioal fire damage.
Magma Spit (Su): Every 2d4 rounds, a volcano imp can launch a sticky glob of fiery spittle at an opponent within 30 feet (no range increment). A successful ranged touch attack is required to hit. If struck, a target takes 2d6 points of fire damage and must make a Reflex save (DC 14) or catch one fire. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Polymorph (Su): A volcano imp can assume other forms at will as a standard action. This ability functions as polymorph self cast by a 12th-level sorcerer, except that an individual volcano imp can assume only one or two forms no larger than Medium size. Common forms include monstrous spider, raven, rat, and boar.
Regeneration (Ex): Volcano imps take normal damage from acid and from holy and blessed weapons (if silver). Attack forms that don’y deal hit point damage ignore regeneration, and a volcano imp does not restore hit points from starvation, thirst, or suffocation.
See in Darkness (Su): All volcano imps can see perfectly in darkness of any kind, even that created by deeper darkness spells.
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): At will—detect good, detect magic, invisibility (self only); 1/day—Scorched Skin*. Caster level 6th; save DC 11 + spell level. The save DC is Charisma-based.
