			'''Hastur.Net''' is a role playing gamesite with different worlds and universes to play in. One of these is the d20 Modern Horror role playing game which is described as being World of Darkness without the angst. Within this universe are beings called '''Succubi'''. The following is an article in the Hastur.net gaming wiki on these beings.


			==Description==
	A '''succubus''' (pl. succubi) or '''succuba''' (pl. succubae) is a shapeshifting fiend. All succubi are female, though many have the ability to shapeshift into male form. Although their true forms are obviously demonic, they are still strangely attractive—and most mortals never see their true form, but only one of the idealized humanoid disguises. Less oriented toward physical combat than other demons, succubi are still powerful creatures with many abilities at their disposal.
