This article collects writing/worldbuilding notes on the Succubus.

I’ll repeat a disclaimer from the Writing Notes for Vampires article: these notes are more of a reference or suggestion and not a set of rules on how to write/worldbuild succubi. Just because succubi don’t match the notes here exactly doesn’t mean they’re bad. But that doesn’t mean there’s a right/wrong way of doing things.
Assuming that the conditions are the same, then succubi will manifest in the same way.
Until I bother to separate that disclaimer, I recommend just reading the opening text from there and just applying the same ideas here.

Seeing as I think that the Writing Notes for Vampires article was a success – from my point of view, it was fun to write and hopefully fun (and useful) to read – I decided to make this one as well, since I can talk about succubi forever for some unknown reason.

Mesopotamia is a pretty obvious choice for an origin point of the succubi, since that’s where the earliest myths originate and there’s a connection to temple prostitutes.
