Succubuns (species)

Succubuns are the primary species featured in the Succubuns ARPG. Succubuns are an adoptable species obtained through participation in the ARPG, official sales channels, or secondhand sales and trades.

==Biology==
====Anatomy====
Succubuns, being descended from rabbits, retain many features in common with them physically. They may be described as "a parody of their former selves, twisted with hellish features." These twisted features include horns, cloven hooves on both the hands and feet, and a whip-like devil tail (unless they possess the tailless trait) with a heart-shaped tip. Additional optional mutated traits may also be present on succubuns.https://succubuns.com/info/Succubuns
The general body shape of succubuns is meant to resemble "simple, cute mascot creatures such as Pokemon, Hamtaro, or Sanrio characters", and are not overly realistic in their proportions. Succubuns do not have visible defined necks and shoulders, with a layer of fat and fur instead obscuring many parts of their anatomy and leaving them with an overall soft, round shape. Limbs are generally short, and opposable hooves are always present (unless they possess the claw trait). Ears are long and lopped (unless they possess the perky ears trait). Succubuns may possess a longer tuft of hair on the head, but in their bun forms do not possess a distinct head of hair. Faces are flat, and without defined muzzles or noses.https://succubuns.com/info/design
This bun form is the "initial" or "true" form of succubuns, but they may additionally take on a second, humanoid form at will, and may be present in this form more than in the bun form. This humanoid form will retain the same hair color as the succubun's bun form fur, and will always retain the same horns, tail, and other traits. Doll forms may optionally possess either human or hooved feet, with the latter only transitioning to nonhuman anatomy at the ankle. Hooved feet are said to allow succubuns to move faster, but with less balance.https://succubuns.com/info/Succubuns 
As shapeshifters, succubuns may take on any combination of primary and secondary sexual characteristics at will. Any pair of succubuns may be capable of reproduction if desired.
=====Horns=====
Succubuns are largely broken into categories based on the shape of their horns. Currently, six types of horn shapes are known, associated with six different vices:
*Sloth: velvety, short, rounded horns that lack a distinct separation between horn and hair or fur
*Pride: curled ram horns; curl should be visible from the front and cannot have the tip reach above the horn's curve
*Lust: pointy, heart-shaped horns; similar in size and shape to sloth horns, but with a clear separation from the hair or fur, and a distinct pointed heart shape
*Gluttony: wideset, curved horns starting on the side of the head that reach out more horizontally than vertically
*Greed: tall, spiked horns that are mostly straight; this is the only horn type that may optionally sit on the forehead rather than crown of the head
*Envy: branched antler-like horns with rounded tips
Notably, there are currently no wrath horns. This makes wrath the only sin missing from the set of the traditional seven deadly sins.Given the introduction of envy succubuns to the ARPG after launch, it is possible that wrath succubuns may be eventually introduced as well, though this is speculation with no current official announcements of plans.
====Life cycle ====
When succubuns are born, they’re almost indistinguishable from ordinary baby rabbits, save for their spaded tails and cloven hooves. However, due to the demonic meddling in their evolution and society, succubuns are unsuited to care for their own young; as such, all babies are turned over to the Church of Sulfur, which delivers them to Murmur, the demon responsible for raising baby succubuns into adults. Notably, however, Murmur is not able to raise all succubuns due to the sheer volume, and so other demons may additionally be involved in raising some succubuns."However, Murmur can't raise every single succubun on his own"
Succubuns, similar to ordinary large rabbits, mature within one year. Their horns start to grow in at nine months, when they are fully physically mature. The shape of the horns is decided by the succubun's primary vice at that time. By the time they’re a year old, their mental faculties are equivalent to that of a twenty-year-old human. At this time, Murmur returns the succubuns to Burrowgatory to live with the rest of their kind.
Succubuns are able to reproduce once a year in the spring. Many feel driven to procreate during this “breeding season.” Similar to ordinary rabbits, succubun pregnancies only take about a month to come to term, during which time a succubun is reverted to their bun form and is unable to shapeshift.
Unlike ordinary rabbits, succubuns’ lifespans are much longer than a decade. Though they can die of injury or illnessDeath has been mentioned in info pages, but does not seem to have been explicitly shown in the story., death by old age, and old age itself have not been observedIt is not specified when a succubun stops aging. The only confirmed aging and maturing processes mentioned are of the period from birth to reintroduction of society; it can be assumed further aging past this point is possible, but no specific limits or information have been published.. The oldest succubuns are currently around one hundred years old; time will tell if the demons’ immortality has rubbed off on them.
==Lore==
=== Backstory===
A few hundred years ago, a herd of rabbits dug a warren so deep that it nearly ran straight into hell.
The magical energies of hell leaked into their burrows and twisted these rabbits and their descendants, causing them to develop demonic features. Their intelligence rapidly developed until they neared sapient thought, and they began to develop a crude society deep underground.
At this time, they were discovered by a group of demons. Amused by the primitive rabbit people, the demons decided to make this new species into their pet project. They extended their influence over the newly developing society, caring for the rabbits and shaping them as they continued to evolve.
Within a couple of decades of demonic meddling, the rabbits became the succubuns that we know today. Under the influence of the demons, they have become creatures of vice and debauchery, living out their days in the decadent underground city of Burrowgatory.
===Envy Succubuns===
In April of Year 100, a new type of succubun were discovered when a group of them who had been abandoned by the demon Gremory were discovered interfering with the hazebloom harvest. 
Previous to their discovery, only five types of horns were known. This sixth, rarer type of horn can only occur in succubuns raised in a specific way; envy succubuns seem to occur when starved of attention in favor of other succubuns, as seen in Gremory's style of raising them. Though Gremory is the only known origin of envy succubuns currently, it seems that any succubun raised in this style may result in an envy horn type, and that it is not necessarily exclusive to Gremory themself.
The envy succubuns were discovered to have been abandoned on the outskirts of Burrowgatory, and despite being fully grown, were not properly processed as other succubuns would be. However, despite the issues caused to the individual buns and to the systems in place to keep Burrowgatory running, it seems that Gremory is still involved in raising at least some number of succubuns.https://succubuns.com/info/hh-index
Currently, there are channels in place to help envy succubuns abandoned by Gremory to integrate into greater Burrowgatory.
