Lesser demon

The Lesser demon, sometimes referred to as a "Lesser", is the weakest demon, apart from Imps and Delrith, but is still incredibly strong. It has a maximum hit of 8 damage, a large hitpoint supply, and regenerates at an average rate of 5 HP per minute damaged. Players often kill lesser demons because they drop valuable items that can be alched through the High Level Alchemy spell, including the rune medium helmet, a valuable item that can be high alched for 11,520 coins. The Lesser Demon has a somewhat low defence, allowing players to hit it almost constantly for experience. The lesser demon is the fifth strongest non-revenant, non-quest and non-random event monster in free-to-play, only to be beaten by Ankous in the Stronghold of Security, level 85 Skeletons in the Stronghold of Security, cockroach soldier in the Stronghold of Player Security, and Greater demons in the Wilderness. Still, they are very popular monsters to kill.

As the Lesser demon is indeed a demon, it is affected by the powers of Silverlight and Darklight.

Extra information
As of the August 29th, 2006 update, the lesser demons' looks were tweaked by Jagex, giving the demons a more unique and distinguished look than prior to this update. There are also different "species" of Lesser demon that look different. Additionally, the Lesser demon in Melzar's Maze is taller than the other Lesser demons.

K'ril Tsutsaroth, the boss monster of the Zamorak section of the God Wars Dungeon, is classified as a Lesser Demon, thus killing him counts towards any Lesser Demon Slayer Task, and also allows a player to take advantage of the abilities of a Black Mask, if they have a Lesser Demon Slayer Task.
