Rules in Successive Editions
Alu-fiends, also referred to as Alu-demons, first appeared in the Monster Manual 2[1]. They were not described in Second Edition AD&D until the release of the Planescape Monstrous Compendium supplement[2]. While their exact statistics varied slightly, the general concept as the offspring of a succubus and a mortal male remained true.
In the Third Edition rules, Half-Fiends were presented as a more general template, in lieu of specific entries for each instance. There has been no specific publishing of an Alu-Fiend template by official sources. However, a Half-Succubus template was included in a Dragon Magazine web article, written by Robert Wiese, on Half-Fiendish variety, and appears on the Wizards of the Coast website. [3]
Alu-Fiends in the Forgotten Realms
Aliisza, an alu-fiend, appears prominently in the War of the Spider Queen novel series, and is the main protagonist in The Gossamer Plain, the first book in the Empyrean Odyssey trilogy.[4]
Kin
The male counterpart to an Alu-fiend is generally called a cambion. Successive offspring from either (with mortals) are tieflings.
