[QUOTE="DandD, post: 4170562, member: 55168"] D&D unfortunately never was that good for capturing the real-mythology essence into some of the monsters. According to Worlds&Monsters, the Devils are just a bunch of angel servants who became twisted beings after they killed their god, and Asmodeus took control of that job. D&D-devils have a militaristic feeling, and are all part of a society bend on conquering the universe. The real-world Succubus is just an evil spirit that sleeps with men (lying under them, hence Succubus), and then goes and impregnate women when it transforms itself into an Incubus (then lying on the women), and so creating half-demon bastards. The D&D-Succubus on the other hand rather has military duties, and may serve as an ambassador to powerful kings, wizards and even gods who need the mercenary service of the Devils from the Nine Hells. Or, to be blunt, the real-world Succubus is a sperm-trading shapechanger, whereas the D&D-Succubus is just a Mata Hari with batwings... :uhoh: [/QUOTE]
