Mischievous types (4)

I believe the answer is:

imps

(Other definitions for imps that I've seen before include "Little mischievous devils" , "Little monkeys?" , "repairs (for a wing)" , "naughty children" , "Small devils or mischievous children" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the LA Times, The Washington Post and the Newsday.com.
