Nymph

Nymphs are a species of Lesser Demon that only inhabit forests within Teufelswald, a specific region of Gluttony.
== Background ==
Nymphs were created by the Nightmare of Lust, combining Succubus Demons with unknown organic plant material from Gluttony. It seems that the reason for this is due to Lust trying to assist Nidhogg by providing more blood and roots for the Demonic World Tree Yggdrasil. Despite this, Nidhogg is quite annoyed by them due to their methods of creating roots and sees their creation as unwanted assistance from Lust.
Nidhogg seems to have intentionally used his blood to revive some Nymph victims into Decaying Roots just to spite Lust.
== Behavior ==
Nymph's have rather unique behavior compared to most demons. Instead of killing anything that comes too close, they will hide themselves in their hides that resemble ordinary, if not large plants. Whenever a human, specifically of the male variety comes near, they will expose their true appearance, resembling a female whose appearance is rumored to "entrance" men, though this evidence is conflicting.
When the male comes close enough, the Nymph will proceed to [REDACTED, material too lewd to describe], this drains them of both their essence and their life force, turning the victim into another root for the demonic world tree while impregnating the Nymph, allowing her to reproduce and increase their numbers.
== Abilities ==
Camouflage: When their target is not near, Nymphs can hide themselves within plants that mimic the area around them. They spend most of their time like this, only popping out occasionally to stretch themselves to avoid cramping. A downside of this is that the Nymph is incapable of removing itself without outside help (more to be revealed later) or moving at all, since their plant-like lower half is quite literally rooted into the ground.
Root Creation/Life Force Absorption: When they are close enough to a human male, they can use their demonic power to drain their life force, eventually turning the victim into a husk, which is then turned into a root. This same ability also increases the Nymph's own lifespan and power, with a single human being enough to give them 100-200 more years.
Neurotoxin: Not much is known about this ability, since it has not been observed much. What is known is that it's an unsuspecting way for a Nymph to defend itself if nessesary. This toxin if applied, affects and degrades the nervous system, causing paralysis and eventually death, although the Nymph can still turn the poisoned individual into a root if they can reach them. There is no cure for it at the moment.

== Trivia ==
* Nymphs are based off the creatures of the same name from Greek mythology. They are considered spirits of nature that take the form of beautiful women, they are found in the woods or near rivers.
* Nymphs are an all female race, which is why they require men. This is also why they don't attack women.
* While Nymphs can technically reproduce with other demons, the nature of the area they inhabit means that most have killed each other before discovering them. Nymphs also prefer human men so they can create a root while they have their "fun".
