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 a 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 benevolent disposition, despite being a demon who eats kittens. In the episode "First Date" it is implied that he might be gay.
Buffy first meets Clem in "Life Serial" when she accompanies Spike to a poker game (where live kittens are the stakes). Clem, in turn, attends Buffy's birthday party ("Older and Far Away"), and the wedding of Anya and Xander ("Hell's Bells"). 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.
Clem has also appeared several times as a confidant and somewhat-friend of Spike's.
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).
