My suggestion is to just make shadow imps fly. This makes the not-flying of iron imps stand out more.

Also a solution, but could break some vaults.

A simple reminder here.

Grinder is in.

About shadow imp: I think the new (Denzi's) tile matches other shadow stuff better, although it is too big for an imp. Eino, jpeg: what do you say?

Huh, true. The new shadow imp tile doesn't look like the other imps at all, more like a new type of monsters. I expected it to look like the iron imp, which I initially took for the new tile. I don't remember what the old winged tile looked like, and my computer's busy compiling right now. :/

The old shadow imp tile looked almost exactly like the regular imp, except purple.

Can't wings be vestigal? Cthulhu can't fly (except in South Park).

does new grinder supposed to wield 2 axes? It seems tile was overlayed in a wrong way.
I agree that new shadow imp looks out of place

Added

A little alteration on the existing contribution, if that is ok.

I shortened him and added a bit of transparency to "shadow" him up. You'll see it better sitting on backgrounds and when he transitions from one background to another.

Note lack of shadow.

seriously though. Grinder now looks inconsistant with other(new) shadow imps. Which doesn't look like other imps at all.
I propose to revert to old shadow imp tile. Denzi's tile could be used on some other minor demon

bump for Grinder. He wields 2 axes in one hand in 0.8 stable. Also, he looks nothing like monster shadow imp.
