You ponder the situation.
You say, "Probably."

The Carillon of Screaming Hatreds.Fire jetting out of his nostrils, Ashtorath bellows here in rage, beating his mutated chest with enormous clawed fists. A huge archdemon looms here, surrounded by black mist. There are 6 wights here. A black-skinned imp wearing a hat squats here, long tail twitching.
You see a single exit leading down.

This creature is a shrunken humanoid with black skin, horns and a long tail. Its hands have sharp, spiked claws, whilst its feet are small and pointed. Two small wings protrude from its back. Its face is thin and twisted, prominent veins throbbing around bright red eyes and pointed teeth. Perched upon its head for no discernible reason is a ceremonial auburn turban, adjusted just a smidge off center.

I just hope that because we gave him clothes that doesn't mean he can go free now.

When I set Jatius on a quest to learn about imps, I didn't expect this. The imp has got too much finery on now! He's going to think he's people! 

Parhelion

What's next, rats with hats wandering the streets of Magnagora?

Jatius

I absolutely wasn't expecting anything like this to come out of giving an imp some gold and telling it to go buy itself a hat. I need to go bug him. Alas, holidays.

Kailanna

Gah, he was so fashionable with his jaunty hat and you've ruined his style. Now he looks like some kind of hallmark holiday biker genie...
