==Characteristics==
Succubats have purple skin, lavender wing-membranes, and white fur bunches around their necks, hips, ankles, and the tips of their tails. Large ears extend from the sides of the head, and a heart-shaped nose is situated in the center of the forehead. The sclera is pitch black with a yellow pupil in the center, which gives away the {{MFamilies}}'s intent despite the girlish grin they sport.
Succubats are anthropomorphic [[Bird family|bat]] monsters with purple skin, large wings with lavender membranes as arms, large bat ears, and long tails with a tuft of white fur at the ends. They also have white fur around their heads and necks, as well as around their hips and ankles, making it look like they're wearing shorts with leg warmers. At the center of their forehead is a heart-shaped nose. Their eyes have pitch-black sclerae with a yellow pupil in the center. As befitting their namesake, the species is exclusively female. The succubats use their feminine wiles to charm unsuspecting victims in the dark of night, then tear them apart with the sharp claws on their feet. They have an affinity for casting darkness spells, as well.
