Species

Succubuds are any creature that has been infected by a parasite known as a budling.

These parasites burrow into them, splitting their face open with a second mouth, and taking over their brain and nervous system.

If not intervened with, a succubud will lose control of its body, and it’s arms and legs will become roots. Because of this, they wear monitors, which sedate the parasite and let them control their bodies, as well as inject them with medicine for any pain or illness caused by the budling. They also wear stockings or bandages, to cover up infectious patches that produce spores, which start on the legs. 

The parasite cannot be removed, as it’s appendages dig into the brain, making it dangerous to do so.
