Fire Imp

The Fire Imp is a Caster enemy found only in the The Underworld. It fires Burning Spheres, which travel through blocks and inflict the On Fire! debuff. The Burning Spheres can easily be destroyed by hitting them with any weapon, minion or damage dealing pet.

The Fire Imp will pause for a few seconds after firing 3 times, offering a good opportunity for attack, then teleport to another location nearby. It will also pause if it gets hit. It will follow you by teleporting if you try to flee (unless you teleport away with a Magic Mirror, reach a depth of zero feet, or die).

A good way to fight an out-of-reach Fire Imp is with the Imp Staff (crafted from Hellstone Bars). Just click on the enemy Fire Imp and your own Imp will appear next to the enemy and start attacking it. An Imp Staff may well be your most urgent acquisition from Hellstone, since it makes mining for Hellstone Ore much easier.
