Bestiary Entry[]

Monster born from muddy water. It hides at the bottom of old wells and sucks life energy from the victims. Be careful if you don't see your reflection in a puddle of water.

Strategy[]

Looks like Li Li's cousins, anyways they deal decent damage but that Confusion status problem can cause trouble. But Yuri's attacks will do the job on killing it.

Etymology[]

A succubus is a demon originally from Jewish myth. It takes a female appearance to seduce men, often enganging in sex with them in their sleep to either drain them of their life-essence, or semen.

In modern adaptations they usually depicted as beautiful and enchanting, but were traditionally frightning and monsterious in appearance. There exists also a male counterpart, called an incubus.

The visual design of the monster is based off a "cecaelia", a creature with the upper body of a human, and the lower body of a squid or octopus.

Its Japanese name, "Yashahime", (夜叉姫 - ) is a reference to Takiyasha-hime (滝夜叉姫 - "Waterfall Demon Princess"), the sorceress daughter of an historical warlord who, after he was killed in a failed rebellion, used her powers to raise an army of yōkai to conquer Japan.

Despite her powers, she and her army were eventually defeated.
