Hide-and-Seek

"Al... alright! Lady Diane threatened us to help hide her for ten years, or she would go on a rampage... now we can finally live in peace!"

- The Prankster Imps, rejoicing and thanking Hawk in Memory in Darkness

are creatures that inhabit the Forest of White Dreams and have the ability to perfectly impersonate someone.

Appearance
Prankster Imps are small imp-like creatures with a large bulging nose between two eyes at the sides of their head, comparatively long and large mouth, and pointed teeth. All of the imps appear to wear shoes, and a ragged cloak with a hood. When they impersonate someone, they completely and accurately copy all of the individual's appearance.

3,000 years ago
The Prankster Imps fought alongside the Four Races (the Humans, the Fairy Clan, the Giant Clan, and the Goddess Clan) to defeat and seal away the dreaded Demon Clan in an ancient war.

10 years ago
After the Seven Deadly Sins was framed as criminals by the Holy Knights, Diane hid in the Forest of White Dreams and forced the Imps to serve her, lest she go on a rampage.

Forest of White Dreams arc
When Meliodas, Hawk and Elizabeth entered the Forest of White Dreams looking for a member of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Imps, believing they were Holy Knights, tried to confuse and stop them by impersonating Hawk. However, Meliodas, punched all the copies including the real Hawk without mercy, which lead them to impersonate Elizabeth, and unsuccessfully try to capture Meliodas.

All of the copies of Elizabeth claim that they will do anything to prove that they are the real one, and the young man, after playing with that declaration a bit, tells them to jump as high as possible. All of the copies except the real one did so, since Meliodas had stolen the Elizabeth's panties beforehand and she was embarrassed to jump. The Sin of Wrath then quickly defeats all of the Imps. The imps immediately run toward Diane, leading the three toward her, and still believing that Meliodas was a Holy Knight, apologize to her that they let a Holy Knight come through. After Diane decided to leave with Meliodas, the Imps were relieved, since they could finally live in peace after ten years.

Current arc
The Prankster Imps were present with the returning Fairies, witnessing the arrival of Ban, King and Jericho, although angrily accused the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth for abandoning the Fairy King's Forest and left Elaine to die 700 years ago as they threw rocks at him but were driven off by an enraged Oslo.
