The last time I ran the 'save the damsel from the dragon' bit, she was in fact a damsel, just as advertised. The dragon was the unexpected one--he was a silver dragon and her lover, but the party was using darkvision so couldn't see colour, and they didn't catch on after the description or the ice breath.
 


I chose damsel simply because the old "helpless maiden is not what she seems to be" has been done to death. I blame Thomas Mallory...the Arthur stories are filled with witches and sorceresses taking advantage of the good nature of knights. Talk about mysogyny!
 

I voted all, but only because I've seen Damsels and I've seen fake Damsels that turn out to be Medusas, Succubae, Vampires, etc, but I've never seen a Vampiric Succubus Damsel [or some other sort of combination of the above]. It's like saying that since the Vampiric Succubus Damsel is always the BBEG, then the Vampiric Succubus Damsel can never be the Damsel in distress.

Maybe the Vampiric Succubus Damsel is simply playing into the role of the Damsel to continue her charade as the Princess to the throne and gain power when the King dies or perhaps there are people more powerful than her!

Maybe she wants to transform others into Weredragons--remember that she is also a lycanthrope and a dragon ;)

Damnsel. Every once in a while, an orange should actually be an orange. Nothing messes up the players like the truth.
Of course, they have to run through a string of every other option FIRST...then you throw the one normal one at the party and they go crazy.

Too much fun to NOT do.
