Battle[]

Lemure frequently appears with Cherie and Parthenope, a dangerous combination due to their combined penchant for status-inflicting attacks.

Lemure uses Embrace to petrify a party member, Spore to poison, and the Blue Magic spell Pond's Chorus to turn a party member into a toad. Controlling them also gives access to another Blue Magic spell: 1000 Needles.

Ribbons may rarely be stolen from Lemures.

If the player party has the Necromancer job class, gained by defeating Enuo in the Game Boy Advance and the now defunct mobile and Steam versions, they're eligible to learn the Dark Arts spell Dark Haze if they slay a Lemure.

Behind the scenes[]

Aerith Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII resembles Lemure, both being flower girls with similar clothes and hairstyles. Lemure also holds the Ribbon item, a signature part of Aerith's outfit. Both Aerith and Lemure were designed by Tetsuya Nomura, though in his Final Fantasy V concept sketch, the enemy is called "Rozana".

Etymology[]

In Roman mythology, lemures (singular lemur) or larvae (singular larva) are shades or spirits of the restless or malignant dead.

The Japanese name appears to derive from a combination of words. The チャム (chamu?) may be contracted from "charm" チャーム (chāmu?). The キュ (kyu?) may come from the word "cute" (キュート, kyūto?). The ビア (bia?) may come from the second part of the name "Silvia" (シルビア, Shirubia?), which would be relevant because palette-swap Vilia has the first part at the start of its name.
