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