So, I see Announcer Imp from the Imp page, and I think it should be removed. Why? It's way too minor to be on the page, and it has a short appearance.

Why remove it from the Imp page?
Announcer Imp is basically a summoner for Zombie King, but it hardly does anything. All it does is toot its horn and gets squashed soon after. Heck, Popcap doesn't really acknowledge it, causing it to not have an Almanac Entry (correct me if I'm wrong) or a quest to defeat them. It is not affected by any plant, zombie, or enviroment modifiers, which means it serves hardly any purpose other than being a cameo for Imp.

Announcer Imp is part in the History section and Encounters section. It hardly belongs there because it makes a very short appearance. Its appearance in the History section is basically trivia, and in the Encounters section, there is a redundant list of where it appears, which is already listed in Zombie King's page. Such minor details are useless, because no-one will ever look those up.

It is also not listed in Infobox in the Imp page. That makes Announcer Imp seem more out of place, because it was never mentioned on the most important template on the page. Heck, it's S template isn't anywhere, even on the Infobox. It is also missing from several sections of the Imp page. Also, people would put Zombie King in strategies rather than Announcer Imp, making it even more useless, along with its S template.

Announcer Imp hardly matches the description of Imp.

"Imps and their world-themed variants in Plants vs. Zombies 2 are small fast-moving zombies that commonly gets thrown off the backs of Gargantuars that can quickly result in the player's in-game defeat if not prepared. This is due to the fact that it gets thrown into the middle of the plants and possibly at the final column. However, if it is thrown deep into their defenses, it will most likely cause quite a lot of damage if the players defenses are not strong enough. Imps are small enough to chew on a plant with a Spikeweed or Spikerock in front of it without being damaged."

Announcer Imp DOES NOT match this description, making it out of place from the rest of the Imps. No, it's not a small fast-moving zombie, it's not thrown off the backs of Gargantuars, it does not result in the player's in-game defeat, it's not going to cause damage, and it's not small enough to chew on a plant with a Spikeweed or Spikerock in front of it without being damaged.

There is absolutely nothing that makes Announcer Imp special, and it hardly serves a purpose unlike every other Imp. If we really think about it, Announcer Imp doesn't belong with all the other Imps. It will never be important enough to be as worthy as, say, Mermaid Imp on the Imp page.

Removing the S template for it
This is the S template for Announcer Imp.

Now this may be a bad idea, but where do you ever see THIS being used? In strategies, Zombie King takes it place, and in the Imp page, it's not on the Infobox. This makes it 100% redundant, unless you want to decorate your userpage with Announcer Imps.

Moving it to Zombie King as trivia

If someone were to search up "Announcer Imp", shouldn't that go to the Zombie King page? I mean, it always appears along with Zombie King, and Zombie King only squashes it. If someone were to look for strategies against Announcer Imp, it's basically pointless, as Zombie King automatically defeats it after a set amount of time. Also, why would someone go to the Imp page to look at Announcer Imp? Announcer Imp is basically part of Zombie King, so if they want to search for it, Zombie King is a much better choice to search.

Sample
If I want to remove it from the Imp page, remove its S template, and move it to Zombie King as trivia, it would look like this:

However, if I want to keep it in the Imp page, keep its S template, and not move it to Zombie King as trivia, it would look like this:

Conclusion
I'm sorry if this is a bit... long. I wanted to be informative, but I also wanted to include lots of reasons why I would want this to happen. Anyways, happy voting!
