[QUOTE="The Shadow, post: 6381751, member: 16760"] ...In a book written nearly 120 years ago, and building on existing legendary material. Granted that Stoker wove together a bunch of legends plus some stuff from his imagination, in a rather unique way. But it's become part of our culture, and entire genres of books and movies, in a way D&D succubi have not. The distinction between demons and devils is purely a D&D construct (though one I'm fine with), and has not penetrated our culture outside of the narrow genre of D&D novels whatsoever. And as mentioned in another thread, the succubus has made far more sense as a devil from the very beginnings of the game. It's a case of the creator being tone-deaf to his own imaginary material! I forget who said it on the other thread, but it's very very true - the best proof that the Greek pantheon is not active in our world today is that the real Erinyes didn't eviscerate the author and illustrator of their Monster Manual entry and drag them screaming to Hades. :) [/QUOTE]
