Pretamorphosis

Pretamorphosis is a stage in a Female Lilliuth (Succubi)'s life cycle where they gain the ability to transform into a more powerful, magical form on command once completed.
== Overview ==
Being the equivalent of "puberty" for a succubi, Pretamorphosis occurs when a succubi reaches the stage where they are meant to begin their sexual maturation, often around the ages of 15-16. While in this stage, they begin undergoing various changes which include the growing of various limbs (usually arms), heightened senses, increased augural ability, and a fairy-like look complete with large insect wings, the most common being wings similar to that of a butterfly. Once Pretamorphosis is complete, the succubi then is able to transform into the final stage of this form on command, although depending on the individual, their final form will or won't look like their initial form. 
One notable thing is that regardless of heritage, if an individual possesses some degree of lilliuth heritage, they are able to have Pretamorphosis occur, although those with diluted lilliuth heritage will have the phase occur much later or at unexpected times. 
=== Convergence ===
In very rare cases, using various other magics to aid, a succubi can give base pieces of their augur to others so that those of non-lilliuth blood can gain the abilities of pretamorphosis. The only known case of such is Mikki Gioiello, who gave six pieces of her augur to gift to her friends on Team Endanta to enhance their magical/natural abilities and enhancing their positions as Pillars. 
== Phenomena ==
Alary Wings: Similar to the wings of a fairy, Alary Wings appear during the final stage and are colored and shaped differently depending on the individual. 
Fovea Eyes: Enhanced eyes and vision which allows those in the form to detect heat and scent signatures of those they view. 
Glossa Tongue- When in pretamorphosis form, they gain the ability to remember and taste almost every flavor, especially on the tongue.
Pulvilli Papillaries-Small, thin, and almost invisible feelers on certain parts of the body that allow the user to taste, smell, and/or hear with simple contact. 
Hexapoda Limbs-Extra limbs which sprout from use of the form, which are usually arms.
Spiracle Lungs- The ability to breathe or require no breathing in almost any environment with special lungs which carry far more breathing capacity than their normal form.
== Abilities ==
Increased Augurial Output and Storage-Temporarily, a succubi in their pretamorphosis form will be able to output and possess a stronger amount of magic. 
Density and Gravity Shifting- Due to the ability to fly, those in their form can change their density and movement under certain types of gravity so that they may fly in almost any condition. 
Reflex Pheremones- When threatened, a person in pretamorphosis can instinctively exude a pheromonal gas which leaves the target in a state of awe or falling asleep. These are not the same as seminal or arousal pheremones, which any lilliuth can emit. 
== Trivia ==
* Pretamorphosis designs, especially the final forms, are inspired by the Fairy Forms of the Italian-animated Magical Girl series Winx Club.
* The name "Pretamorphosis" is a portmanteau of the words "pretty" and "metamorphosis".
* Most Pretamorphosis forms, especially the wings, are inspired by various insects. 
* If a succubus transitions to be more masculine, such as Incu, they will become unable to trigger the stage. However, he still has some traces of the stage, which is why he is more adept with transformation augur.
* The names of the features of this form are inspired by real insect terms.
