Line 239:
** They also show up in other games in the [[Shin Megami Tensei]] series. Notably, Incubi in the first game [[Fridge Horror|know binding magic, but not charm magic.]]
* In ''[[Catherine]]'', the eponymous character fulfills many of the same narrative roles as Horny Devils in less mundane stories: she challenges the protagonist's fidelity by being exactly the sort of person that would appeal to him most. This eventually leads to when {{spoiler|Catherine is revealed to be a succubus. Vincent can become an incubus, if the player follows a certain path. And the whole bit about "[[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane|less mundane stories]]" is just a [[Red Herring]] to keep the game's presence on this page from being a spoiler.}}
* [https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Desire_demon Desire Demons] in ''[[Dragon Age: Origins]]'' certainly look the part, although they tempt mortals with desires of all sorts (though their appearance strongly implies lust is the most common desire they cater to). For example, one of them brings a Templar under her sway by giving him what he always wanted, a wife and children; naturally, it's an illusion, but as the demon points out, he's much happier than he was before. Indeed, in this encounter, killing the demon also kills the victim, so the player has to choose whether to do that or let them escape. [[Morton's Fork|Which leads to a difficult question, what is the crueler fate, a quick death or life as a demon's slave while living a lie?]]▼
* In the original ''[[Might and Magic]]'', the town of Portsmith is ruled by the misogynist Succubus Queen, who curses all men who enter the town with magic that gradually weakens and kills them. The only effective way to fight her (other than having an all-female party) is to use a magic fountain [[Boss Arena Idiocy| (located in her own dungeons)]] that [[Gender Bender| changes the gender of all party members.]]
* ''[[Mass Effect]]'' has a sci-fi take on the trope with the Ardat Yakshi. Some members of the [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|asari]] have a genetic condition that [[Out with a Bang|kills anyone they have sex with.]] This also turns them into nymphomaniacs, so at least one has set out across the galaxy as sexual serial killers. The one Ardat Yakshi we meet in-game uses a combination of feminine wiles and psychic powers to seduce her victims, though it's unclear if that's the norm or if she's just that talented.
Line 252 ⟶ 251:
* Tentacle demons from an older version of ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' are sometimes admired for their "corrupt intentions".
* ''[[Warriors of Might and Magic]]'' has some succubus-like enemies in the last two areas.
▲* Desire Demons in ''[[Dragon Age: Origins]]'' certainly look the part, although they tempt mortals with desires of all sorts. For example, one of them brings a Templar under her sway by giving him what he always wanted, a wife and children; naturally, it's an illusion, but as the demon points out, he's much happier than he was before.

* In ''[[MadWorld]]'', Elise is quite obviously a succubus, but can still turn into bats. She makes for large amounts of [[Distracted by the Sexy]], and is the only boss we don't see die. [[Gag Boobs|Awesome rack on her, though]]!
** [[Running Gag|Aww, true dat!]]
Line 260 ⟶ 258:
** In ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]'', vampy villain Chalis also has horns and fits at least two of the qualifiers, and is designed to strongly resemble Succubus-type enemies... which have been redesigned in turn to look more like Chalis. There's definitely a connection of some kind.
* ''[[Desire Dungeon]]'' has Lilim and Succubus. Like the other monsters in the game, they are fairly friendly and don't kill people.

Line 293 ⟶ 291:
** Armageddon manages the rather impressive feat of making {{spoiler|Clinton, Bush, and Obama}} into generally intelligent, sympathetic characters who tend to do the right thing. Not impressive because it's hard, just impressive because so few people would be willing to try.
* Many of the Daeva and half-Daeva in ''[[Addergoole]]'' come under this trope. It's somewhat subverted in Jamian, because he has all the right powers to be one, but he's a virgin and really not comfortable with the idea.
*
* The webfiction ''[[Kumiko the Demon Girl]]'' featured a demon who looks like the classic succubus as the [[Magical Girlfriend]] of the main character. Demons in this world feed by ripping out the souls of their targets and consuming them (killing the subject in question), but Kumiko decides to allow Ken (the protagonist) the chance to at least not die a virgin and finds that sex is not only enjoyable, but allows her to consume his soul in smaller chunks.
* A succubus character in ''[[Elf Only Inn]]'' shows up, seducing all the men with her wiles, though she did this mainly as a way to piss off the board's local [[Soapbox Sadie]].
