Lamiatrophus

The Lamiatrophus race (also known as Succubi (feminine) or Incubi (masculine) by others) is a humanoid race of the desert continent of Ummarnu. They are practically identical to Elves, except for the fact they have a bald, muscular and long tail, hoove-like feet, fangs, and in the case of females, claws. They live less than other human races and are near extinction (or fusion with other human races). Their long tails make them good for climbing and their accelerated metabolism keeps them lean and muscular. Despite their similarity to Elves, Lamiatrophus are not closely related to them; the similarities having originated from convergence due to Succubi predation on ancient Elves.
=== Society ===
They have gained general acceptance within Yimmu-Audal, and many hold important public offices. However, there are succubi and incubi throughout the entire world of Rathnir, especially on the continent of Ummarnu and in the caliphate of Ardat Mosul, which is the place where they can be found the most. They are spoken of pejoratively in popular culture and in myths as machiavellian beings, ambitious, libertine and without honor, however, many members of the high society of the civilized empire of Yimmu-Audal have been succubi. For example, the late viceroy and later caliph Xylapax bin Mosul, provincial governor of the vassal state of Ardat Mosul, her daughter Dalatra Mosulia, former caliph of the independent caliphate of Ardat Mosul and president the Mosulia International Bank. The truth is that, although they are inherently predatory, they are a peaceful and civilized race with no inclination to violence. However, their bodies allow them to defend themselves well, and some of them are known by their strength. For example, the former supreme leader of the imperial army of Yimmu-Audal, TheRealJay2.
=== Culture ===
Historically they have worshiped Ardatism, as they have a special place in Ardatian society. However, many of them have been converted to other religions due to the cultural exchange with the mercantilist empire of Yimmu Audal, which maintains relations with overseas nations. During the first encounter with the Jagdasian colonizers, they rapidly expanded the Ardatian culture within the empire's colonies and intermingled with the population. Those who did not accept the imperial occupation fought in resistance or simply migrated, never to be seen again.
