Interspecies Romance/Tabletop Games/Dungeons & Dragons: Difference between revisions

* One example of this Trope that ended ''very'' badly is part of the backstory of the ''[[Dungeon (magazine)|Dungeon]] #44'' module "Train of Events". One of the villains is a [[Lamia|Lamia Noble]] who once fell in love with, married, and even had a child with a human male. (The monstrous equivalent of a she-wolf falling in love with a male sheep, at least from the typical lamia's point of view.) Problem is, she used her shapechanging ability to pose as human almost all the time, and one day he saw her in her true form. He was both repulsed and terrified, and she became enraged at such a reaction. (As the text states, [[Black Comedy|"after all the years of giving up raw human flesh for boring roast beef, this is how he treated her?"]]) In her rage, she killed him by shoving him out a third floor window, and fled. Her ultimate goal in the story is to find and reclaim her son with the aid of factions of derro and duergar. There's even a portrait of her son in her private quarters, placed for the DM to use as a [[Sequel Hook]].

* Ahem, Drow. They are known to hold rituals to summon demons simply for horrid orgies, simply to appease their dark goddess or prove how tough they are, and it is not uncommon for prisoners of the drow to be "invited" to these rituals. The "guests" used as [[Human Sacrifice]] for the actual summoning ritual are the lucky ones.
