The Succubus and Incubus are a sub-type of the Fairest seeming. A culture-themed kith of demonic seduction, theirs is the blessing of Vice to Vice.
Overview[]
Whether the Jewish Lilitu or the Arab um al duwayce, the core idea of the succubus or incubus is the same: a demon or spirit possessed of beauty that is used for malevolent purposes. Their beauty is darkened inevitably by something that happened to them in Faerie, and this hangs upon them in some way that colors their splendor with hints of the diabolical (blood-red eyes, bat wings, black nails, teeth filed to points or other demonic characteristics). These changelings are temptresses, creatures who are imprisoned by lust but can also wield it like a weapon.
