Alu-fiends (ÆL-oo-feend) are the product of successful procreation between a succubus and a male mortal (mostly humans). Females are, generally, attractive or beautiful, going to great lengths at times to conceal their needle-like teeth and diminutive wings. They often possess a high degree of sexual proclivity. Males, however, require more discriminative attention, as its "cousin", the cambion (produced from a female mortal), possesses many of the same "abyssal" traits which form both creatures' overall appearance. This has led to a diminishing use of the patrillineal and matrillineal-influenced terms as a whole; rather, products of both partnerings are considered "half-fiend".
