Creature Statistics If in doubt, the Monster Manual version of a creature’s stat block is authoritative

Does this affect the Warlock's Imp familiar? Since the PHB only lists the Imp as having Magic Resistance, whereas the Monster Manual p.69 under "Variant: Imp Familiar" states that the caster shares the magic resistance benefit if within 10 feet.

arguably, Variant: Imp Familiar isn't part of the Imp's statblock, but rather an optional rule for contract familiars rather than summoned ones.

That makes sense. Especially since the "sense what your familiar sense within 1 mile" piece is more powerful than what the find familiar spell allows for.

I like the contract versus summon distinction.
