She is also fully clad, in white and blue clothing.
Character History
In The Tower of Druaga, a Succubus is Druaga's right hand. Druaga gave her the task to protect the Blue Crystal Rod in the 58th floor of the Tower of Druaga, and she disguises herself as Ishtar in a attempt to fool Gilgamesh, but Gil discovered the fake and manages to obtain the Blue Crystal Rod from her.
Depending of the player's actions in The Blue Crystal Rod, it's shown that Succubus left the tower and is hidden in a cave. Gil and Ki may find the cave and talk with her.
