Well, in older editions, demiliches were more like constructs. They were essentialy semi-sentient traps to protect the lich's Phylactery while it was bodyless and on the astral. (Which was why a demilich followed a set of combat rules for who it killed first - Mages, then priests, then fighters... etc) For more information, see the Old Tomb of Horrors adventure. (I think that had a good writeup of the how-and-why)
So, a Demilich could be a pelvis, but who or what ever created it has a silly sense of humor. (Though in my opinion, its the Silly ones that are the most dangerous. If they have the time and resources to waste on silly, then you most likely stand no chance against them.)
