Lemure (Basic Lore)

Lemure (CR 1)
Lawful Evil - Medium - Outsider (Devil)
When a spirit arrives in the Hells, the first thing that happens to it is savagery. The devils rend and tear, subjecting the luckless thing to the most horrible of torments, tearing away scraps of its essence for...uses. The Devils break and flay and tear away everything from the luckless soul, until they have distilled it down to only two urges: The Will to Evil, and The Urge to Obey. These mutilated things manifest upon the Prime as masses of skinless almost-flesh, so flimsy they can tear out their own bones for use as weapon, yet weirdly hard to hurt, they are so vague. Deprived of so much of their form that they cannot even make legs, they simply ooze and drag themselves around like huge, horrible, snails. They can drag themselves aloft with horrid ease, and can be found throwing themselves in disciplined waves at foes, their horrendous groans haunting their foes. They are called Lemures, for the hopeless lost that they are. But Lemures have a path to advance. They are not hopeless. If they commit enough chilling, horrific, Evil, and work well with their fellow seekers of Evil, a Lemure can work its way up from its miserable state. And they want, ever so badly, to stop being a Lemure.
