Lemures torment weaker creatures, but in the Nine Hells, few such beings exist. To avoid greater suffering, they obey the orders of more powerful devils.
## Lemures
*Devils of Agony and Despair*
- **Habitat.** Planar (Nine Hells)
- **Treasure.** None
The least of all devils, lemures arise from wicked souls, their mortal memories scoured away. Only vague limbs and anguished features jut from these slurries of infernal proto-matter.
