# [Swarm of Lemures](Rules\Source\bestiary\fiend/swarm-of-lemures-xmm.md) *Source: Monster Manual (2024) p. 194* When devils drive hosts of lemures into close proximity or when lemures compress into a single mass, a swarm forms and adopts a unified mind. ## 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. ```statblock "name": "Swarm of Lemures (XMM)" "size": "Large" "type": "fiend" "subtype": "devil" "alignment": "Lawful Evil" "ac": !!int "12" "hp": !!int "45" "hit_dice": "6d10 + 12" "modifier": !!int "-2" "stats": - !!int "14" - !!int "7" - !!int "14" - !!int "1" - !!int "12" - !!int "3" "speed": "40 ft."
