Homebrew Concubae - Rework Species Details
Concubae are the iconic depiction of lust. Feared for their typically evil nature and ability to steal one's soul, concubae are fiends who wield subtle illusions and enchantments to tempt their victims into forfeiting their eternal souls. Concubae inhabit all of the Lower Planes, and the lascivious dark-winged fiends can be found in service to devils, demons, night hags, rakshasas, and Yugoloths. Asmodeus, ruler of the Nine Hells, uses these fiends to tempt mortals to perform evil acts. The demon lord Graz'zt keeps Succubae and Incubi as advisers and consorts.
Concubae often live up to their reputation, acting as seductive females (succubus) or males (incubus) to lure them into relinquishing some of their life-force. Particularly adept at controlling others in the peak of their strength, they're often employed, albeit reluctantly, by others to act as crowd control, or to tame certain creatures. Most of them share the nature of their reputation; flirtatious. They avoid fighting where possible, instead choosing seduction or fleeing.
