What is a Succubus?
Intelligent, lusty, and guaranteed deadly, the Succubus is a demon who’s only desire and purpose in eternal damnation is to gather souls. She is a powerful seductress who loves nothing more than to toy with men, and and entrap their souls! When Faustus asked Mephistopheles why Satan wanted souls he told him there is comfort in knowing that others are sharing your suffering.
Characteristics
Physical Description
Today, the word “succubus” conjures up voluptuous images—women with long wavy hair, silky skin, and flawless curves. They wear skimpy leather costumes, to flaunt their bodies, and they don’t try to hide the telltale signs of their demonic nature.
Bat wings, barbed tails, curled horns, long sharp nails, glowing eyes, and some may have fangs are all common among modern Succubi. But remember they are demons and can appear however they want to. The appearance is in itself and attack because they aren’t really there looking how they look, they are just making you think they are there.
But these she-demons weren’t always so glamorous. From the dawn of their legend well through the medieval ages, Succubi were considered hideous, deformed creatures. They were somewhat smaller than average people, and they stooped and crawled instead of walking upright. Their feet were like raptors, their faces like gargoyles, and their fingers tipped in ragged claws. Again, there is a distinct difference between today’s Succubi and the Succubi of ancient legend.
Personality
The she-demons of today have intense charisma and seductive power to match their good looks. They are clever creatures who can tantalize men with their words as much as their bodies. They can be domineering and vengeful if they are slighted, but they ultimately take pride in their ability to please (and manipulate) men.
The ancestors of today’s Succubi, on the other hand, had personalities as nasty as their looks. They were sneaky, controlling, and malicious. Despite being sex-crazed, they had no interest in pleasing men. Instead, they used sex for their own purposes—to please themselves, to corrupt the pious, to gain life force, or even to have children!
