Eros

Eros is one of the neutral divinities in the Monster Girl Encyclopedia world who is neither explicitly pro- or anti-monster. As the God of Love, Eros grants blessings to both human and monster lovers.

Naturally, in the era of the current Demon Lord where the taking of certain liberties with the concept of love is threatening the future of life itself, the Order views Eros' human devotees with a little suspicion. However, the goddess seems to mostly embody the virtues of classical, romantic, chivalrous love, as opposed to the crazed rape and hedonistic debauchery of the succubi, so her worship remains broadly accepted by the Chief God's church.

Eros inevitably has many monster followers, notably the gandharvas, and she even created one species herself, the apsaras. While one might be blessed with eternal love by a cupid or even be rewarded with an angelic houri partner for good deeds in Eros' name, she can be wrathful if crossed: adulterous followers are likely to be cursed so they can never be loved again. It is through the followers of Eros that the concept of a wedding ceremony has begun to diffuse into the monsters' culture. Engagement rings incorporating Magic Gems are gaining popularity for human-monster couples.
