Soul of a damned one converted into a wretched form covered in bubbling pitch

A Lemure is said to be the soul of a damned one, converted into a wretched form to serve more powerful infernals. Its body resembles the one it had in life, covered in bubbling pitch and utterly devoid of speech or intelligence. All other infernals can telepathically control a lemure without effort; while it is thus controlled, a lemure has a morale of 11. A lemure regenerates 1 HP of normal damage per round, even if reduced to 0 HP; damage from magic weapons, fire, spells, or holy water cannot be regenerated in this way.

Primal form of evil souls damned to spend eternity in Hell

Lemures are the primal form of evil souls damned to spend eternity in Hell. They are only vaguely humanoid, with crude arms and heads. Due to their ongoing torment, lemures are quite insane and will attack any non-devils coming close to them. Certain lemures (5%) are chosen by archdevils to form wraiths, spectres, and other æthereal undead.
