Lemure

Lemure is an enemy in Final Fantasy V. It frequently appears with Cherie and Parthenope, making them a terrible trio to face because of their status-inflicting attacks.

Lemure is able to use Embrace, which will Petrify a target, Spore will cause Poison, while the Blue Magic spell Pond's Chorus changes a party member into a Toad.

Etymology
The name Lemure comes from Roman mythology, lemures (singular lemur) which are shades or spirits of the restless or malignant dead. Lemures may represent the wandering and vengeful spirits of those not afforded proper burial, funeral rites or affectionate cult by the living: they are not attested by tomb or votive inscriptions.

Trivia

 * Aeris Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII has a strange resemblance to Lemure, both being flower girls with similar clothes and hairstyle.
