Succubus
A succubus (pronounced: /ˈsʌkjuːbʌs/ SUK-yoo-bus; plural succubi) was once known to be a type of demon, a beautiful lesser breed of tanar'ri from the Infinite Layers of the Abyss. They existed to seduce and tempt mortals and ultimately slay them and take their life energy back to the Abyss. The male counterpart of this creature was called an incubus (pronounced: /ˈɪŋkjuːbʌs/ INK-yoo-bus). Legend held that incubi and succubi were wholly separate sexes, and the males were significantly rarer than the female of their kind. In fact, with their shapechanging powers, incubi and succubi could both change their sex with ease, though most had a preference for one or the other.
