 ==== Lilitu/Lil/Lilith ====
-Before [[lb:lilith]], the Jewish folkloric figure, existed...she was uh...someone else.\\  Originally, Lilith was based on the Mesopotamian monster (Lilitu/Lil) which is best described as ‘just a succubus’. She was probably a monster that had sex with men in the night and sometimes killed them. Her origin was likely the same as a succubus...wet dreams, nightmares, sleep paralysis...the golden three nighttime issues that require explanation. A (questionably) sexy demon that has sex with you and //might// eat you serves as the perfect explanation of course.\\  There's also something about her stealing children and that she liked hanging out with birds and snakes. Lil specifically moves into [[playground:Ishtar]]’s (Inanna's) tree without permission together with a bird and a snake...Gilgamesh then kicks Lil out.

 ==== Lamia ====
-This is an Ancient Greek monster that is half-woman, half-snake, all cuddle.\\  I don't know enough about [[playground:Lamia]] to know whether this is a variation of a succubus, like Lil, or if it's vaguely succubus-adjacent like the Kitsune. However, it is notable that Greek translators translated Lilith as Lamia.

 ==== Sirens ====
-[[playground:siren]] are succubus adjacent for being sexy women and for also using their beauty (or voices, in this case) to exploit men...by making them drown.

 ==== Vampires ====
-[[playground:vampires]] overlap with succubi quite a bit, as I mentioned further up in the article. Ignoring the modern ‘sexy’ vampire, they also drain energy from people...just that they do it via blood (and also semen, don't ask) instead of sex.\\  Considering the more modern tendency to make vampires sexy...yeah, succubi traits have basically been fully assimilated by vampires.
