The terms of the contract state that the imp will assist the pc in any way that it can but when the pc dies, the imp gets to eat the body and gain some of the PC's power. I have this imp in my games and I give him a backstory that explains he has had this contract with many spellcasters. So the imp can very well have different stats than the usual imp stats. Also, because the imp has been a familiar to many spellcasters, he has the ability to cast some spells. The imp may also be proficient with certain tools or skills.

All he wants to do is play with flowers, but is repeatedly saddened when his acid breath kills the flowers. He approaches the party or they come across him as he attempts to come up with a way to both care for his flowers, not torture innocents, and have his fellow black dragons still like him. Think Ferdinand the Bull.

58

58. A gnome who just wants to follow around and study the sad, short-lived species (like humans). He's very excited by understanding their brief lives and what passes for art amongst them.

The goblin is roaming the land learning the cuisine styles of different places and how he can apply that to the troll meat that he acquires from his friend, the troll. The troll will provide some sass especially when asked for meat but is generally happy to oblige because he gets to see places he otherwise wouldn't, experience good food when he's there, and hang out with his best friend, even if his best friend has a tendency to cut chunks off of him and eat them. They will happily insist on making a meal for the players anytime they meet and every visit will lead to a distinctly new dish.

60

60. Three kobolds who think they've found a dragon egg and want them to escort them on their trip to get it for their tribe. They are exuberant over the possibility of finally getting a real egg. It should become apparent quickly that this isn't the first time they thought they were on the trail of a real dragon egg, but failure has not deterred them in the slightest. They also dont seem to care about what kind of dragon they get an egg from. Your call on what they find when they get there but if they do not find the egg they should still be up beat about it, and tell the players that they'll find them again if they hear about another one.

Somehow, his invention rips realitytime and space apart, making him a threat for the whole plane, but he loves his creation too much to destroy it.

The tinkerer doesn't mean to harm anyone, but he will defend his invention with his life (and many whacky science weapons)
