-This is a process I made up on the spot, which simply states that other creatures that are not succubi gradually starts adopting succubus traits.\\  Vampires are the obvious example.\\  Of course, this is also a case of the chicken and the egg problem. Have vampires adopted succubus traits, or did succubi adopt vampire traits? Did they form separately with similar traits and then just happen to resemble each-other?\\  The latter case is the most likely.+This is a process I made up on the spot, which simply states that other creatures that are not succubi gradually start adopting succubus traits.\\  Vampires are the obvious example.\\  Of course, this is also a case of the chicken and the egg problem.

-{{wst>main|lb:Cod}} Aligning with my ‘succubus-adjacent’ philosophy, I'm including the **Daeva** from Vampire: the Requiem. The Daeva are the explicitly sexy vampires. Sex and seduction are major aspects of their whole thing. In fact, their clanbook: ‘Daeva: Kiss of the Succubus’ has a suspicious word in the subtitle, doesn't it?\\  That same clanbook emphasizes their sexiness and even makes a connection to Mesopotamia's temple prostitutes. Though this might just be the ramblings of a crazy feminist Daeva. Oh yeah, the word ‘succubus’ is also used as a synonym for ‘Daeva’ at times.\\  This also proves my point about the overlap between the succubus/vampire that we sometimes see. Here, in particular, they are the exact same thing.+{{wst>main|lb:Cod}} Aligning with my ‘succubus-adjacent’ philosophy, I'm including the **Daeva** from Vampire: the Requiem.

 +Another interesting point that could be made about the Daeva...from my limited reading, I get the impression that they're //good// by //nature//...which is //veeeeery// unusual for vampires in CoD/WoD. They're obviously still predators/parasites, but there are a lot of ‘canon’ examples of them just being really nice for no particular reason.
