Imp´kin, n. A superhuman pet; a human offspring masquerading in the form of a beast; an animal that is given overabundant care.
The impkin is the sole heir of Race Suicide, his mother being The High Cost of Living. He is supposed to “love his mummy.”
Impkins are canine and feline, but their parents are usually asinine.
The impkin is hyper-domesticated but doesn’t particularly like it. An impkin being frankly natural is always a shock to his mistress. (See Frowk.)
The impkin is particularly affected by large blondes, and always when their hair is hennaed.
Impkins have collars but no cuffs. They wear boots and ulsters and live in limousines. They give teas and grudgingly tolerate the presence of the master of the family. (See Varm.)
