The Imp has wings.

Hmm, well the Imp does look decidedly more insect-like, but in a Hellish way. Anyway, I think it looks cool.

I find it amusing that people can't deal with the fact they revamped the enemies. I used the word "amusing" but "sad" might have been better.

Agreed, I'm getting sick of all those "TEH HELL KNIGHT SUX0RS 'CUS IT HASN'T GOT HORNS!!!!!!!!!1111111" comments and similar comments about the imp's eyes.

Live with it - I don't like the look of the new marine for instance, but I gotta live with it anyway.

However,His eyes kinda remind me of spider.His leap attack looks cool.And his fire ball looks bad-ass!.(but i hope they make fireball harder to avoid)

Why? It seems hard enough already with that leap attack it has - remember that the imp is the weakest of the demon monsters (Former humans aren't in that category) - it should be fairly weak and fairly easy to kill (without being too easy).
I don't want the enemies to be frustratingly difficult - but challenging enough to make you cautious.

I think the new imp is decently cool and I have faith in id that they will make the best out of it in the game.

Actually, I'm ok with all the new looks, except the look for the Imp. It looks like a giant insect right now, instead of like a terrifying Demon. I'm not saying I don't like the new Imp, what I'm saying is that it doesn't really look like a Demon no more..

I woulda agreed with you two years ago, but now my imagination of Hellish demons has moved beyond the typical "Christian European" view on demons.
Demons just need to look ugly without looking like space aliens, twisted and purely evil and the new imp looks just that imo.

[CyRaptor]

I do like the design of the new imp, but I just don't think it should be called an imp, because as Disorder said it deosn't look very demon-like. I'm not even saying it's not hellish, just not what an imp, in the traditional sense of the word, looks like. I dunno. Just forget I said anything.

[DOOM Anomaly]

I personally dont have a problem with the new looks that are being shown for the imps, sure its a stretch but chage can b good, neways, things do mutate into more hideous and foul looking creatures...an imp with wings...=) sounds great to my ears, then again, im different.

According to the leaked gameplay video, they appear to take 1 or 2 shotgun blasts to be killed, so their damage values (or just the shotgun damage values) are similiar to those in Doom I guess.

Exactly, and I'm satisfied with that and I'm satisfied with its leaping attacks, but I wouldn't be satisfied if it ranks higher than the pinky in difficulty.

[Disorder]

Those leaping attacks already scare the shit out of me when I see it on video. I'm afraid I'll get a heartattack when I see that Imp jumping towards me with that speed on my monitor..

[EVIL]

Yeah.. those imps are much harder to take down in doom 3.. and thats a good thing..

[999cop]

The new imp is missing one traditional pose that it is supposed to act to unwrap his wings and slightly look up and make squeaking screaming sounds, something like the new Batman.

You maybe right,i hope BOH`s green fireball will be more dangerous.(if there wil be green fireball in DOOM3).Fast moving,and more damging,Splash damage.

Agreed, it's unlikely that the BoH will move particularly fast, so a more dangerous, hard-to-dodge ranged attack would be in order.
It'd also make sense because the BoH is bigger and much, much more powerful than the imp.

Speaking of BoHs, it would be cool if id introduced the BoH in a similar fashion to the first game - E1M8

Maybe that imp was just simply hanging around the red bull soda machines for too long.

[Shaviro]

I like the new Imp. It's hard to kill, but not too hard.
