Hello everyone! here with some apologies and announcements

First off, I want to publicly apologize for basically abandoning this page for the last 2 years. Those of you who follow my main account are aware that my life has been pretty much nonstop over that timeframe with no signs of slowing down any time soon...but nonetheless, I do owe an apology to everyone here who became so interested in this species only to have its activity disappear without a trace.

This past year has got me thinking. I noticed that despite my lack of activity virtually anywhere, this species has continued to grow and gain popularity. I also began to notice how many people were so interested in the species and wanted to take part, but due to my lack of activity, they had no way of obtaining one due to the status as a closed species. While I do understnd when people say "opening a species would make it alot less exclusive and special", I also understand that in order for a closed species to remain alive and active, its creator needs to also be active and with my full time job and real life obligations getting in the way of that, I believe it is unfair and selfish of me to keep the gates closed when so many people are so engaged in a species they cant even own.

So, I have been pondering very heavily on changing the status of this species from Closed to "Semi Open"....Semi Open means open but with strict regulations in place to prevent the abuse and misuse of the species.

I have decided to open the idea up to the public and get your opinion on the matter via a survey Ive put together. Its only 8 questions long and completely anonymous. I would great ly appreciate if you took a minute to fill it out. Your opinion means a lot to me!

Thank you!

Once this survey is concluded, I will make a final decision. In the meantime, I will be making changes and updates to this page while also updating the gallery. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to note me at my main account.


thank you all!

Hello everyone!

Starting in May and every month thereafter, one of our many beautiful family members from the character directory will be chosen at random to be the Face of the Species for one whole month!

The chosen mascot will be drawn a bust badge by to be displayed on our gallery and used as the group icon as well. The lucky owner of the imp will of course be allowed to repost and use the artwork themselves.

If you already own an imp, you have a chance at your creepy friend being the face of the species! No further entry on your part is necessary! However, if you wish to opt out and do not want your Imp or Imps involved in this monthly drawing, Please contact our group and we will make sure your characters are not used in the drawings.


If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Otherwise, good luck to all of your imps!

Below you will find a list of users and the imps they own.

Below you may find a list of common questions regarding the species. Feel free to ask any question that this journal does not answer!


How do I get a Harvester Imp?
A Harvester Imp character design may be obtained through their original creator via adoptable or custom commission.

What is the registry?
Basically, If You did not purchase your design from Hashire and do not have the original artwork/linework of the design by her, your Harvester is considered stolen and therefore not a true member of the species. We keep a registry here of all original Harvesters and the users who own them in order for us and the public to know who has an original character. Harvester Imps not listed in the registry are not original and are considered stolen or knock-off designs until the user that owns it proves otherwise.


I don't have the money to buy one, can I just design one myself?
Seeing as how Harvesters are a closed species, that would be considered theft. However, you may commission blank linework if you want to design the coat yourself as a cheaper alternative so that you don't have to resort to theft to get one.


Am I allowed to commission other artists after I buy the design or can I only recieve Harvester Imp art from Hashire?
Absolutely! After youve bought a design, its all yours to treat like any other fursona! We encourage you to have more art done of your new character!


Is there a maturity limit on the artwork we submit here?
Absolutely not! One of the beautiful things about FA is that people can choose to see SFW or NSFW things. Thanks to that filter, There is absolutely no limit on the maturity level of artwork you choose to submit here.



I just saw someone with a stolen design/I just found someone reselling Harvester designs for profit and claiming ownership. What do I do?
Note us here so that we are made aware. Don't confront the person using or reselling the character, simply let one of us know, and we will handle it from there.


How many Imps can any one person own?
As many as they want so long as theyre not stolen!


May I change up the original design?
So long as its not major changes to the basic anatomy and abides by the Harvesters species description, you may make any changes to the colors and coat patterns as you see fit as well as add on any accessories or extra features you deem fitting.




If there are any questions at all that this failed to answer, feel free to ask!

Harvester imps are a species of earthbound purgatorial demon spirits. When a living person dies, their spirit is sent to purgatory to wait out judgement. Those who have no place in either heaven or hell are given a choice; to disappear as if they never existed, or to become a Harvester Imp, in which they will serve the purpose of maintaining the balance between good and evil among the earths living beings, but this eternal way of living comes at a price.

Harvester imps no longer has a sense of humanity or a sense of human morals or conciousness. They are husks of energy, and although fair and balanced by their very nature, they lack the ability to feel sympathy for their actions. After all, its their actions which feed them. Harvester Imps are so called due to their need to consume or "harvest" emotions from the living. They thrive on negative energy and emotions produced by the living, human or animal. They are always present in times of sadness, greif, anger, etc, and after a successful feeding, the Imp is left satisfied and the source of the negativity is left free of his or her harsh emotions. If not enough emotion is present for the imp to feed on, the imp will slowly wither away and dissapear.

Imps have recently taken to bonding to specific people in order to avoid withering away from starvation, and those they choose to bond to are stuck with their imp for life. In this way, they can either be seen as Parasites or Allies. To those that accept them and don't resist, They will serve as obedient pets and allow their masters to live peacefully by consistently removing their negative energies until there's nothing left behind besides the positive energy. They feed on this energy in various ways, all of which involve physical contact...this can be anything from a kiss, to a touch, to being held, to sexual contact. Imps who bond to living creatures do so via spiritual connection. As such, bonded imps are physically stronger and need not feed as often as their wild counterparts do. Being bonded to their Masters mind, they feed only in extreme cases.

Aside from an amotional outlet, Imps also serve as their masters voice of conscience. Being fair by their very nature, they tend to aid their Masters in tough decision making and allow their Masters to think logically more so than emotionally. They are highly intelligent creatures with a vast understanding of human language, although their natural tongue cannot be translated, but to a Master an Imp speaks clearly and precise as any human would. Otherwise, their language sounds like a series of clicks and hisses similar in nature to the sound a barn owl makes. Click here for an example. They also make a similar screeching sound when agressive, only this sound is much more like an entire flock of barn owls screaming at the top of their lungs: Click
This screech can be easily heard from 50 miles away, and to any creature (aside from its master) within earshot, it proves to be a very deadly weapon. As such, Imps tend to avoid screeching as loud as theyre able to unless the situation is dire and their Master is in trouble.


Physically, Imps can range in height anywhere from 5 to 12 feet tall. They are neither anthro nor feral, they simply choose to walk upright and run on all fours. They are also very skilled swimmers. Their long lean bodies and sharp angled heads allow them to cut through the water just as swiftly as any marine animal. Once submerged, their legs and arms will sit tightly against their bodies and they swim by snaking back and forth in a similar fashion to a sea serpent or alligator. Their long, prehensile tails serve as a counterweight when running and a powerful rudder under water. Despite having some definition, most imps are extraordinarily thin. Some even appear to be emaciated, but it is simply due to their nature as demons. Imps are relatively genderless. Beneath their long pubic fur is a thin slit which also houses a penis-like appendage which they use to pleasure their masters, or the slit can serve as a vagina-like orifice which their masters can use for their own pleasure. Sex is one way an Imp can harvest emotions from their master, but they also mate with their Masters simply for the sake of mating and satisfying their masters needs just as their masters satisfy their need to feed. Imps do feel pleasure during mating, however the pleasure they feel during sex is merely an intense high from the overload of emotion they are receiving from their masters more so than legitimate sexual pleasure.

Imps have tiny mouths when at rest. So small in fact it almost appears as if they have no mouth at all. When aggressive or ready to feed, Imps mouths stretch back almost the full length of their heads into a fearsome and sinister grin, revealing a thick set of razor sharp teeth which lock together in a perfect scissor bite. Their grin is one of their most defining features, and the one thing that most people tend to fear most. No matter what, this grin always looks like a smile.


Imps can come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, coats, etc, but their more defining features are always consistent, these features being their sharp angled head, long tendril like ears and prehensile tail. Each imp that has been bonded also bears a symbol on their forehead specific to their masters at that present time. The symbol has the tendency to change as the imp finds a new master or as their own master grows and changes.
