Anyone know of low CR (1/4, 1/2, 1) Demons?

Low-level campaigns have a small problem where the party is either fighting the standard Kobold/Orc/Human raiding parties, or animals. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on where to look for Demons that are lower CR, so that we can sort of... avoid that. I can obviously make them myself, but I prefer using ones that have already been tested out.

I found a CR1, called a Mane. But I'm looking for more.

MM2 has the Abyssal Skulker and Abyssal Maw - but they're CR2.

I can't really recommend sending actual demons of a CR lower than that, since it basically cheapens the premise of the enemy to the point that it's nothing more than a kobold/goblin/orc with a different coat of paint. Which, I mean, you could just literally do that.

Fiendish creature template would fit:

Well theres the Lemure at CR 1, and they are little more than blobs of pain made real, so they make good canon fodder

Lemures are devils.

[hamishspence]

Those are devils though, not demons.

I suppose "Extraplanar being native to the abyss" might do as a substitute for "true demon" as low-level opponents though.

Fiendish housecats working together could be particularly nasty.

Lemures are devils.

*facepalm* misread the title, and Dretchs are CR 2, so they're out. Fiendish animals? Fiendish *insert canonfodder here*?

[hamishspence]

Fiendish humans?

[Blackhawk748]

Fiendish humans?

with class levels?

[hamishspence]

Could work. Might depend on if its an NPC class or a PC class, and if the Elite Array or the Standard Array are being used.

Manes I think are CR 1.

Guess I'll use this. Fiendish Kobolds/Wizards. Good enough.

What's wrong with killing hungry teenagers who were brainwashed into thinking the process of finding their next meal is "glory"? Are they not "evil" enough?
