I would just like to make one point on Demonesses and Succubi. They are not the same beings in my eyes. Demonesses are less about sexuality and eroticism than about the usual death and destruction and other more hellish things that they are associated with. There are some similarities in a lot of cases, such as being very beautiful and usually having visible horns and a tail, but the two of them should not be confused.

A Demoness is a female Demon. In religion, folklore, and mythology a demoness is a supernatural being that is generally described as a malevolent spirit, and in Christian terms it is generally understood as a fallen angel, formerly of God. A demoness is frequently depicted as a force that may be conjured and insecurely controlled.

The "good" demoness in recent use is largely a literary device, though references to good demons can be found in Hesiod and Shakespeare. Most appear as dark haired beautiful woman with horns and a tail of various colours, but generally with red skin.
