Succubus -> female
Incubus -> male

-1, succubus dickgirl, they've been used for intersex before and they'll be used for intersex again. Incubi are much rarer to see, but I bet I can find one or two where they have vaginas (along with / instead of) penes.

no.

I'll fling open a kettle of fish.

how's a succubus and an incubus different than a demon?

Think they're subgroups of demons. In the same way that a Labrador and a Beagle are both dogs.

Okay, yes, I understand the literal real world differences between the types of beings, but I'm talking about from a tagging perspective. What *visually* distinguishes a succubus or Incubus from a typical demon?

a labrador, for example, is a large breed of dog with a yellow, red, black or brown coat. They are typical short furred, with a thick body structure, and floppy ears.

A beagle is a small hound dog with large floppy ears. They have a smooth, more slender skull, and over all build. They are most commonly a white dog, with large brown and black spotted areas, however may also be tan-and-white.

So: what is the difference between a succubus or an incubus and a demon?

Not a whole lot, really. Imo the best route would be to implicate succubus, incubus and all other nonspecific hellspawn to demon, and treat that as a vague umbrella tag.

I agree ;) Which is why I brought the discussion up. Succubus and Incubus feel like "buck," "doe" or "vixen" or what have you--gender specific species tags.

Probably best to create a separate thread for the proposed implications. I'm sure someone would object to the idea of bunching hellspawn under one tag.

Whether they have something going on downstairs or not?

Defining it by the genitalia would mean that most of the demon tag would need those subtags.

And then there's omnibus, that someone started using for intersex demons. I'm still voting for aliasing all of those to demon. Copyright-specific recognizable ones could still be tagged as incubus_(<copyright>), etc.

A succubus/incubus is a humanoid demon that drains the lifeforce of it's victim through sex, so I'd say if this feature is displayed it should be tagged. Implication to demon should still be done though.

Edit: it's all in the wiki so I'm guessing you were looking for physical appearence: current tagging use is a hot hentai demon. Not saying it's right or wrong, just supplying facts.

honestly... theres really no way to tell apart succubus/incubus from other demons without relying entirely on external knowledge. especially since we are on site full of porn so majority of demons posted here tend to be overly sexualized anyways

There are posts where it's clearly visible, but generally it's not.

If you need to see a special power in use to qualify a character for a species tag, then the tag probably isn't good. Common physical traits should define species, IMO.

Tag energy_drain (7 posts) + demon instead. Energy_drain is absolutely the kind of distinct and obscure thing that should be tagged. Powers in use should always be tagged; the tricky part, however, is knowing or finding the proper tag since they aren't particularly standardized or all in one place. I tried collecting some in tag_group:magic under Manifestations.

...are there any other species defined solely by their powers? Fake deities, tentatively, but there's many recognized deities to anchor that tag.

Well, in all technicality, the succubuss in that one just looks like a human.

Agreed~

Energy_drain is a really good tag for this. (I bet we could get more posts for this tag under soul_vore )

...we also have sex magic as a tag, but that's a bit... fuzzy in definition.

I see deity more as a tag that SHOULD be used to denote certain 'types' of characters-- kind of like 'canine'... but in practice, tends to be used for "this character is wearing a toga!"

Other species... hmm.. maybe some youkai/yo-kai/yokai, but youkai's kinda a... messy tag. Even then, they tend to have distinct looks-- I dunno. Just thinking outloud, honestly.

Oh, I just thought of one: werewolf. 95% of werewolves are anthro wolves tagged because... well, because. Actually, I'd bet the were-critters in general are that way.
