Template:Infobox Buffyverse Character

Clem (full name Clement) is a fictional character in the U.S. television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, played by James Charles Leary.

Clem is portrayed as a benevolent demon who lived in the town of Sunnydale. During season six, he befriended Dawn Summers and Spike. Like most of the people of Sunnydale, he flees in season seven, shortly before the town is destroyed.

Clem has large, floppy ears, loose skin, and a friendly disposition, despite being a demon who eats kittens. In the episode "First Date" it is implied that he might be gay. His caucasian coloration allows him to occasionally pass as a human with a "skin condition."

Buffy first meets Clem in "Life Serial" when she accompanies Spike to a poker game (where live kittens are the stakes and in which he's seen cheating, hiding cards in his forearms' skin folds). Clem, in turn, attends Buffy's birthday party ("Older and Far Away"), and the wedding of Anya and Xander ("Hell's Bells"); his invitation to the latter event implies that he and Anya bonded rather quickly. Before the wedding, Xander is shown scenes of a false future by someone pretending to be his future self; one of their children has ears like Clem's, implying that Clem is the father. When Buffy, trying to entertain the wedding guests to stall for time, asks if anyone present is from out of town, Clem raises his hand, implying that he was a recent arrival to Sunnydale.

Clem has also appeared several times as a confidant and somewhat-friend of Spike's. During the summer between season six and seven, apparently Clem became good friends with Buffy inasmuch as they get along so well during season seven.

Clem has the ability to project presumably grotesque snake-like appendages; he did this trick for the potential slayers in the episode "Potential," but it was shown on the television only from the back of his head (reminiscent of a similar scene in the film Beetlejuice).
