Imp (status)

Imp (カッパー, Kappā) is a status ailment in the game Final Fantasy VI, which transforms a character into an Imp, a green, furry creature with a pointy nose. The Battle Power of Imped characters is reduced to zero, their base Vigor is used to determine attack damage, and their defense is determined by the character's base as well. Also, Imps cannot use special abilites except for the Imp Spell, which transforms the character back into a human. Imps can also be cured by using a Green Cherry, and the White Cape protects against Imp. There are some monsters who automatically perform critical hits if Imped.

Imped characters can make full use of the Imp Equipment, which increase their stats significantly. These are the only pieces of equipment which give the Imp stat boosts.

Dissidia Final Fantasy
The Imp status card will cancel the effects of all the selected job cards. This can be overrun by the Chemist job card.

Origin
The Imp's appearance is most likely inspired by the "kappa", or water demon of Japanese mythology.
