The imp is a level-one creature of the Necropolis in Heroes of Might and Magic IV.

Imps drain spell points from enemy spellcasters and transfer them to friendly spellcasters.^OffBck

Comments

The imp are one of the weakest units in Heroes IV, but they are quite mobile, and Mana Leech can be of great annoyance to enemy spellcasters.

While it's not completely understood how Mana Leech works, it might target the stack with the most HP. This means that you should not rely on spells such as the Angel's resurrection when fighting an army with imps.
