service to {{srd5lc|Devil}}s, {{5edlc|Demon}}s, {{5edlc|Night Hag}}s, {{5edlc|Rakshasa}}s, and {{5edlc|Yugoloth}}s. {{5ed|Asmodeus}}, ruler of the {{5ed|Nine Hells}}, uses these fiends to tempt mortals to perform evil acts. The demon lord {{5ed|Graz'zt}} keeps succubi and incubi as advisers
and consorts.
 
Though legend speaks of them separately, any
succubus can become an incubus, and vice versa. Most
of these fiends do have a preference for one form or the
other. Mortals only rarely see a succubus or incubus in
its true form, however, for the fiend typically begins its
corruption in veiled, insidious ways.
 
'''Beautiful Corrupters.''' A succubus or incubus first
appears in ethereal form, passing through walls like
a ghost to lurk next to a mortal's bedside and whisper
forbidden pleasures. Sleeping victims are tempted to
give in to their darkest desires, indulge in taboos, and
feed forbidden appetites. As the fiend fills the victim's
dreams with debauched images, the victim becomes
more susceptible to temptation in everyday life.
 
Inevitably, the fiend enters the mortal realm in
tempting form to directly influence a creature's
actions. Appearing in the guise of a {{srd5lc|Humanoid}} who has
previously appeared only in the victim's dreams, the
succubus or incubus seduces or befriends its victim,
indulging all its desires so that it performs evil acts of its
own free will.
 
A mortal bequeaths its soul to the fiend not by formal
pledge or contract. Instead, when a succubus or incubus
has corrupted a creature completely - some say by causing the victim to commit the three betrayals of thought, word, and deed - the victim's soul belongs to the fiend. The more virtuous the fiend's prey, the
longer the corruption takes, but the more rewarding
the downfall. After successfully corrupting a victim,
the succubus or incubus kills it, and the tainted soul
descends into the Lower Planes.
 
The succubus or incubus resorts to charming a victim
magically only when necessary, usually as a form of
self-defense. A charmed creature isn't responsible
for its actions, so forcing it to behave against its will
won't bring the fiend closer to the ultimate prize: the
victim's soul.
 
'''Deadly Kiss.''' The kiss of a succubus or incubus is an
echo of the emptiness that is the fiend's longing for a
corrupted soul. Likewise, the recipient of the fiend's kiss
gains no satisfaction from it, experiencing only pain and
the profound emptiness that the fiend imparts. The kiss
is nothing short of an attack, usually delivered as a final
farewell before the fiend escapes.
 
'''Fiendish Offspring.''' Succubi and incubi can
reproduce with one another to spawn more of their kind.
Less commonly, a succubus or incubus reproduces with
a humanoid. From this unholy union, a {{5edlc|Cambion}} child is
conceived. Invariably, the fiendish offspring is as wicked
as its fiendish parent.{{refend|<ref name="mm5.284">{{Cite Pub|Monster Manual (5e)|pages=284}} Licensed: &copy; Wizards of the Coast.</ref>}}

Features

Telepathic Bond. The fiend ignores the range restriction on its telepathy when communicating with a creature it has charmed. The two don’t even need to be on the same plane of existence.

Shapechanger. The fiend can use its action to polymorph into a Small or Medium humanoid, or back into its true form. Without wings, the fiend loses its flying speed. Other than its size and speed, its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies. 

Actions

Claw (Fiend Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6+3) slashing damage.

Charm. One humanoid the fiend can see within 30 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed for 1 day. The charmed target obeys the fiend’s verbal or telepathic commands. If the target suffers any harm or receives a suicidal command, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on a success. If the target successfully saves against the effect, or if the effect on it ends, the target is immune to this fiend’s Charm for the next 24 hours.

The fiend can have only one target charmed at a time. If it charms another, the effect on the previous target ends.

Draining Kiss. The fiend kisses a creature charmed by it or a willing creature. The target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw against this magic, taking 32 (5d10 + 5) psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.

Etherealness. The fiend magically enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa.

End of the SRD5 material
