	'''Alu-fiends''' are the product of successful procreation between a [[Succubus (Dungeons and Dragons)\|Succubus]] and a male mortal, usually human. Females are, generally, attractive or beautiful, going to great lengths at times to conceal their needle-like teeth and diminutive wings. They often possess a high degree of sexual proclivity. Males, however, require more discriminative attention, as its "cousin", the [[~~cambion~~]], produced from a female mortal, possesses many of the same "abyssal" traits which form both creatures' overall appearance. This has led to a diminishing use of the patrillineal and matrillineal-influenced terms as a whole; rather, products of both partnerings are considered "Half-Fiend".
