IMPS (Patreon)

or the herculean imp, they are a species of large non dimorphic imp with what humans often mistaken as an all male kind. males and females look exactly the same, and only vary from their genes. sporting a general muscular appearance, they are strong contracting beings that stick to rules, deals, and agreements. their conversations are often business-like but hate "fancy" talk, and are strictly blunt and honest.
like fairies, they only develop breasts during pregnancy and subsequent nursing, if they themselves cant, the other members or a volunteer would nurse.
they live in generational homes, but aren't privy to strangers when a village is well established. they prefer peace and negotiation before battle, but will never not develop big safeguards (military) even in peacetime. highly intelligent, many imps are well versed in many forms of craft, and on the occasion will be specialized in certain areas, such as battle abilities. they have friendly relations with rainbow fairies if they ever come across each other.
they are shy in broad displays of intimacy, and are known to blush at simply embracing their own mates. simple affections such as nose kissing and long stares are accepted in moderation. married/bonded imps display their relationships with matching but uniquely different bands on parts of their bodies, even going as far as following a theme in outfits to corresponding members of their group. they are romantic in their own way haha. they love poems, the only accepted form of "fancy" talk that they like.
their language is phonetic and have many variations on the same sounds depending on the previous and subsequent parts, even the topic itself is considered for understanding the conversation. it is known to be simple in writing, difficult to speak as their pronunciations involve demonic vocalizations (the dnd form of abyssal).
they are a highly intelligent kind and can see a fraudster a mile away. they have an almost instinctual feeling of an unfair deal, which is a specialized version of the fight or flight response. (detecting danger), even if they are unaware of all the specifics of the situation. if developed, it can act as an omen, or even have predictive abilities.
