'''Lesser demons''' (commonly known as '''lessers'''), are a kind of [[demon]], weaker than the closely-related [[greater demon]]s. They have a maximum hit of 84 damage, 790 [[Constitution|life points]], hit at the speed of a [[scimitar]], and regenerate at an average rate of 20 life points per minute. Lesser demons found within [[Daemonheim]] can use magic as well as melee attacks. When assigned by [[Vannaka]] or [[Chaeldar]] as a [[slayer]] assignment, killing a demon grants 78.6 slayer [[experience]]. Previously, [[K'ril Tsutsaroth]] and his body guards were classified as lesser demons and could be defeated to receive Slayer experience. However, this was changed by Jagex and is no longer the case.

Medium level players sometimes kill these monsters for experience as they have low defence, especially against magic. Also, safe spotting demons and using a prayer urn to collect the accursed ashes they drop can be a suitable method of training prayer for players lacking the sufficient combat level to face them directly. Higher levels are recommended to avoid training on these monsters as they have poor drops for their level compared to similarly-leveled monsters (the [[rune helm]] drop is too rare to amass decent profits). In [[Free play|free to play]], players can train on [[cockroach soldier]]s as they have similar levels but much better drops. Also, cockroaches don't drop ashes or bones, so they can't be used to train prayer. Keep in mind, though, that cockroach soldiers do not have the low defence that attracts so many players to train on lesser demons.

The lesser demon is the sixth strongest non-[[revenants|revenant]], non-quest monster in [[free play|free-to-play]], only to be beaten by [[ankou]]s in the [[Stronghold of Security]], level 85 [[skeleton]]s in the Stronghold of Security and [[Wilderness Volcano]], [[cockroach soldier]]s in the [[Stronghold of Player Safety]], [[greater demon]]s in the Wilderness, and [[hellhound]]s in the [[Wilderness Volcano]]. They are very popular monsters to kill. One is fought as a boss in [[Melzar's Maze]] during [[Dragon Slayer]] in order to obtain the Green Key required for one of the [[Crandor map|map pieces]]. This is the fourth monster to have the title: [[Strongest monster|Strongest Monster in RuneScape]] from [[RuneScape Classic]]. It was the strongest monster available to [[Instant Demo]] players.

==Training==

{{main|Lesser demon/Strategies}}

Lesser demons are effective training monsters for players that are medium to high levelled (around mid 70s [[combat level]]). Since [[Karamja]] has many [[Fishing#Fishing_spots|fishing spots]], players may [[Fishing|fish]] for food on the island if they run out, or members can go through the cave and go to the bank in [[TzHaar City]] to re-stock on food. Fighting lesser demons in the [[Wizards' Tower]] can be good for training [[Magic]], [[Ranged]], or alternatively [[melee]] using a [[halberd]] since the [[demon]] spawns inside of a cage. The respawn time of a lesser demon is quick, which means [[experience]] may be gained quickly killing them. It is recommended for meleers to wear strong armour such as [[adamant equipment|adamant]], [[Rune equipment|rune]] or Barrows armour for meleers, and rangers and mages should take a few pieces of good food in case they are attacked while the lesser demons are aggressive. With rune armour and a good weapon, a level 50 player could easily kill a lesser demon, although a few pieces of food may be necessary. It is also recommended for mages and rangers to find some sort of [[safe spot]] from which they may attack.

Lesser demons are affected by the powers of [[Silverlight]] and [[Darklight]], which increase damage inflicted by 60%. However, many players find these weapons to still be rather inaccurate. F2P players are instead recommended to use a rune weapon, preferably the [[Rune scimitar|scimitar]], [[Rune longsword|longsword]], or [[Rune battleaxe|battleaxe]]. [[Two-handed sword]]s are very accurate on demons due to their slash bonus, but they are only recommended for players with good defence, as they are two-handed. Members should use a dragon weapon or barrows weapon; higher level weapons are not necessary for a monster of this level.

There is a safespot for ranging, maging, and halberding in the [[Taverley Dungeon]] which can be used once the demons are no longer aggressive. This is not a [[multicombat area]] so it is also possible to attack while hiding behind other demons. There are also three safespots for ranging, maging, and halberding in the [[Crandor and Karamja Dungeon]] that are very useful, however this dungeon often becomes crowded on non-member servers. In [[Crandor]], there are two lesser demons to train on with a few safe spots. This is a good spot for [[Combat classes#Ranger|rangers]] (wearing full [[Dragonhide armour|d'hide]] and using [[arrows]]/[[bolts]] of [[Steel bolts|steel]] or better is recommended). Some of these safespots may not work anymore.

New players who are using [[Magic]] or [[Ranged]] may go to the [[Wizards' Tower]] and kill the caged lesser demon. However, this spot often gets crowded, and players may not get much experience. Bringing a few [[Air rune|air]] and [[law rune]]s to [[Telekinetic grab|tele-grab]] any good drops (such as the [[rune helm]]) is advised. Otherwise it will not be possible to pick up any of the demon's drops. With the recent update that introduced urns, it is possible to train [[prayer]] at this location as well, without using tele-grab; when the demon is slain, its [[accursed ashes]] are directly added to the [[accursed urn]] without any action by the player.

A rapid way to kill demons and bank their drops or pick up food is to use the [[explorer's ring 3]] or higher. Cabbage-port, run to the pier, go to the Karamja dungeon, kill demons, cabbage-port when you have enough, and deposit the drops at the deposit box near the Entrana ship or pick up food at the Draynor bank. The ring will double up as an emergency teleport as its animation is unhindered by attacks. This method was somewhat outdated with the introduction of lodestones; the Port Sarim lodestone in combination with the Edgeville stone and bank may be faster. However, the cabbage-port function is possible more effective, as teleporting to the Port Sarim Lodestone quite frequently results in a glitch where the game stops loading at 50%, forcing the player to restart the applet. Also, lodestone teleport is interupted by combat and cannot be used as an emergency teleport.

== Prayer Training (F2P) ==
Medium-Higher level players using melee or any safe-spotters may opt to use these for free prayer training, in conjunction with [[accursed urn]]s. With 790 LP, Assuming the player can kill at a rate of 1 per 15–30 seconds, one could earn 375xp per 6–13 minutes, averaging 37.5xp/min. At this rate, if compared to [[big bones]], one would save {{#expr: {{GEPrice|Big bones}} * 150}} coins an hour. Optimally, if one could defeat one lesser every 10 seconds, this rate would become 900xp/min, or {{#expr:{{GEPrice|Big bones}} * 360}} coins an hour. This method can be extremely effective as it saves time by not having to pick up and scatter ashes, and is highly effective for rangers or mages that do not want to leave the safe spot, saving precious money already lost through runes or arrows.

In addition, players training at the Karamja volcano have the option of picking up two regular bone spawns that appear quite frequently.

==Trivia==
*As of the [[29 August]] [[2006]] update, the lesser demons' appearances were tweaked by Jagex, giving the demons a more unique and distinguished look than prior to this update. There are also different "forms" of lesser demon that look different.
**In another update, their defending animation and sounds were updated.
*The lesser demon located in the [[Wizards' Tower|Wizards' tower]] holds the name "Lemmy", as mentioned by [[Saradomin]] in one of his [[god letters]]. However, in the 2011 Christmas event it is called Timmy. Another is named Carrot, from the first [[Postbag from the Hedge]].
*The lesser demons located in Karamja is one of the locations you will see [[The Raptor]]
