These slightly tougher versions of IMPS are weak on offense, but are tougher than they look. While most creatures in the beginning of the game have no Absorb, GrIMPS have 6. Several hits may be required to take one down.

These slightly tougher versions of Goblins are weak on offense, but can be frustrating to kill because of their decent Defense score (for a beginning area creature). While most creatures in the beginning of the game have no defense, Goblin Guards have 6, which is just enough to let them survive an unlucky string of damage rolls. Nonetheless, they aren't much of a threat.
