A vaguely humanoid blob of putrid white flesh. It gargles horribly as pus flows from its orifices.

"When Hesperus, the Evening Star, has shown his lovely face
Three times, from that day, and the defeated stars fled Phoebus,
It will be the ancient sacred rites of the Lemuria,
When we make offerings to the voiceless spirits.
...
When midnight comes, lending silence to sleep,
And all the dogs and hedgerow birds are quiet,
He who remembers the ancient rites, and fears the gods,
Rises (no fetters binding his two feet)
And makes the sign with thumb and closed fingers,
Lest an insubstantial shade meet him in the silence.
After cleansing his hands in spring water,
He turns and first taking some black beans,
Throws them with averted face; saying, while throwing:
'With these beans I throw I redeem me and mine.'
He says this nine times without looking back: the shade
Is thought to gather the beans, and follow behind, unseen.
Again he touches water, and sounds the Temezan bronze,
And asks the spirit to leave his house.
When nine times he's cried: 'Ancestral spirit, depart,'
He looks back, and believes the sacred rite's fulfilled.

-Publius Ovidius Naso, _Fasti_, Book V: May 9. ca. 8 A.D.
trans. A.S. Kline, 2004.

Useful Info

Lemures are blobby tier-5 demons which race into melee and hammer you with blows, though they aren't very dangerous except for low-level characters. They occur naturally in the Abyss, but can also be summoned through the Summon Demon spell.

Tips & Tricks

  • Although they normally pose little threat, be wary of facing them early when summoned by Eustachio or a summoning player ghost. They pack a decent punch for low-level monsters and can outrun most characters.
