Succubi (サキュバス) are dream demons who feed on men's vitality.
Appearance
Succubi looks like beautiful women with a body all men would dream about, in order to seduce them, with a mature and voluptuous look (although one succubus in Axel looks like a young and underdeveloped girl). They usually wear sexy lingeries, however Succubi also wear regular clothes in order to remain incognito in the city.
Being demons, they have bat-like wings and arrow-tip shaped tails that they can hide in order to remain incognito.
Overview
Succubi are low-ranked demons specialized in absorbing the lust of men, by giving them all types of erotic dream. However, since men are necessary for their survival, they aren't a dangerous type of monster, as succubi prefer to sell their services to men, in exchange of vitality and protection,[1] or creating a nausty, but harmless, dungeon like the Labyrinth of Desire in the Royal Capital.[2]
However, succubi are the enemy of women, as they both compete for the men's attention, and the last sometimes choose a business relationship with a succubus over dating actual women.
