Succubus
The succubus in this issue is not the classical version of one, but is instead a yuki-onna. She is however not portrayed as those beings are in Japanese legends. In this case she acts to seduce men in a nightclub and then drain them. The yuki-onna encounters Zatanna and her cousin, ensnares Zachery in her tentacles, and Zatanna must battle her.
While her human form is highly sexual in nature, being that of a raven haired woman, her true form retains aspects of it, but is nothing like the classical Succubus form or the yuki-onna one.
In the end, the yuki-onna is defeated and vanishes with no explanation.
