Hordak's sidekick Imp was pretty talented. Here we list every single one of his transformations during the She-Ra series.
Imp appeared 28 times in the She-Ra series and "A Christmas Special," and while he was at first portrayed as rather annoying, watching the series we learn that he is Hordak's closest ally. Imp, like Hordak, possessed the ability to transform his body into any form he wanted. Out of all the writers, Don Heckman appeared to use the Imp character to his full potential; the great dialogue and transformations between Imp and Hordak in "Friends Are Where You Find Them," his bizarre transformations in "Glimmer's Story" and "Romeo and Glimmer," which features one of the most beautifully animated and funniest scenes in the entire series, as Imp turns into scissors to battle Entrapta. Even though many other writers used Imp as a shape-changer Don Heckman gave Imp 10 transformations in total; with second place falling to Michael Utvich, who used Imp's transformation ability 5 times. Here we list all 24 of Imp's transformations!
