==Useful Info==
'''Shadow imps''' are one of the flimsier [[Tier-5 demon]]s, but they can still cause significant trouble with their [[Necromancy]] spells. They are found in the [[Dungeon]] and [[the Abyss]], and are occasionally summoned by a wide variety of enemies.

==Tips & Tricks==
*If you're not yet terribly powerful, avoid fighting them near the corpses of foes you've already beaten, or it may raise them. On the other hand, if you can handle the zombies, they are worth [[experience]], unlike most other monster-created monsters.
*Although it's easy to summon your own shadow imps with the [[Call Imp]] spell, these allies will never cast Animate Dead.

==History==
Prior to [[0.12]], summoned shadow imps would cast Animate Dead, allowing characters with no [[Necromancy]] skill to generate armies of the dead.
