Lilim

**Lilim** are a species of demons that rank above imps. They are comprised of both male and female demons known as incubi and succubi respectively whom are known for their ability to sexually seduce humans.

## Overview

According to Leviathan, the Lilim were created by Asmodeus when they took a bunch of Sirens and proceeded to have a harem with them. From the Sirens came the Lilim, which were a species of demons used to seduce humanity and damn them to the Lust Circle to serve Asmodeus.

Lilim are abundant in the Lust Circle where they spend the majority of their lives pleasuring and entertaining the inhabitants of Lust.

## Description

As they are demons of lust, they typically possessed voluptuous and alluring figures whether they be male or female. Their color schemes consist of black, red, or purple with a pinkish hue. Most of them also possess black chiropteran wings, barbed tails, and curved horns.

They are one of the few species of demons permitted to enter the human world in order to damn as many humans as possible and convert them to Hell's legions. In this case it would be for the sake of increasing Asmodeus' power and enterprise. It said that Lilim also have a habit of devouring children as they oppose the very sin they embody.

Of course as with any demon tempting humanity, they are opposed by divine forces which in their case would either be Guardian Angels or Putti. They are also not above getting into conflicts with other demons like imps though some Lilim can work with other demons or actually work for them as seen with Verosika using a Mazzikin to serve her.

## Species

### Succubus

A succubus is a female Lilim that appears as a voluptuous and highly alluring female figure. They are said to have sexual intercourse with men and in the process draw energy from them to sustain themselves, often until the point of exhaustion, deterioration of health or the death of the victim.

### Incubus

An incubus is a male Lilim often appearing as incredibly handsome, slim, and athletic men. They possess many of the same abilities of succubi, including their supernatural ability to seduce. However, whereas Succubi target men (and often have an easier job), Incubi target women.

## Trivia

* They are based on the Lilin who were hostile night spirits that attacked men in ancient Mesopotamian religion and Jewish folklore.
* According to Belphegor, the reason why they are called "Lilim" is because Asmodeus had a crush on Lilith and named them after her.
	+ Alternatively, they are also collectively known as Asmodai.
* It is said that Lilim must never fall in love as it would spell "certain doom" for them. According to Moxxie, Lilim would slowly begin to lose their power and connection to Hell the more they harbor romantic feelings for someone. Even worse, when their hearts are broken it takes a very long time for them to recover as they are unable to properly perform their duties and their powers of seduction have little to no effect.
	+ A fine example of this was seen with Verosika who was in a relationship with Blitzø and had her heart broken by him. Asmodeus claims that they spent months trying to help her recover so she could "up and atem" but in the process became highly vindictive towards Blitzø.
