This is a small but very intelligent creature from the Sphere of Matter. It is a one foot tall humanoid with two feathery wings in the back, a faint golden aura over its head, and pearly blue skin. The blue imp often wears a translucent white robe or tunic.
Whenever a red imp attempts to corrupt a victim, a blue imp is likely to appear to save the victim's soul. It will imitate the face of the victim and attempt to use its charm abilities to undo those of the red imp. If it fails, it follows the victim everywhere, trying to convince him to come to his senses, constantly arguing with the red imp. This arguing helps keep the red imp from strengthening its hold on the victim, and helps keep the victim from having a moment's peace- usually the victim will get aggravated and get rid of both imps. This, to a blue imp, is a success, as it has managed to thwart the red imp and save the victim's soul- even if the victim doesn't realize it.
Blue imps are nothing if not persistent. If attacked they will escape with a dimension door and comes back later. They do not rest until they undo the charms of the red imp. Once this is done, the imps will disappear and cannot bother the victim again.
Blue imps oppose red imps for no other reason than to save the souls of the red imps' victims and prevent the spread of Entropy. Unlike red imps that do their deeds in order to become fiends, blue imps expect nothing in return for their service, although some benevolent immortals transform them into archons. This is rare however, as the most loyal and dedicated blue imps are constantly needed to thwart the red imps.
Blue imps are very, very distantly related to the fey imps. Many eons ago, two groups of fey imps left their natural existence to join a larger philosophical battle. Blue imps decided to align themselves with the powers of good and the red imps aligned with the forces of Entropy. Over time, these imps were changed by their planar existence- losing what were their fey roots and becoming outsiders. Now one would be hard pressed to see any connection between blue imps and the fey imps.
