2) Well, all monsters were created by the gods if you want to get technical.

Yes but that is a secret the Chief God does not want getting out. The Order was told/believes that the original Mamono Lord "emerged from the darkness" and created the monsters. Apsara are something of an exception if the Order knows they were created by Eros.

'''Likewise, normally men who are entranced by a Mamono lose all self-control as well. Like with the Alice, Dormouse or Mandragora. And if that would happen at that moment, they might not live long enough after showing a clear desire to do something absolutely forbidden by them. So if neither is agressive in that situation, does that mean they court like regular humans?'''

It sounds more like if they target a man they use their dancing to entrance him until he gives in to the sex they are offering. Yet they are so alluring that men can be enthralled by them simply from watching them do everyday things too. I doubt their courting habits are all that comparable to most humans. Sex would often come first, then actually getting to know each other in a normal way (though many mamono are known to befriend humans with the intent of eventually seducing them).

4) Thanks, that does make sense. So "lustful" doesn't mean they are hornier than regular mamono, but are more inclined to act upon it? That honestly makes sooo much more sense!

Something like that. Sometimes I think "lustful" is left out of descriptions simply because that trait isn't as obvious as the other ones listed. Or their lust is displayed in other character traits. Minotaurs for instance are lustful, but their lust is displayed mostly in the aggressive, ferocious aspects of their disposition.

5) Aren't gods supposed to be immortal to begin with? And there is a mamono version (from the Apsara themselves) that has the same effect... And it's mostly wondering why Mamono would bother to use it if it's redundant for them...

Given the current Chief God is not the original one it may be that they are not exactly immortal. We don't know enough about the gods to say one way or another. And as I noted, that the apsara's milk is weaker in effect would mean it doesn't grant eternal life. I doubt actual amrita is typically available to anyone but gods.

Still, thanks a lot for answering these questions, even though some of the answers should have been obvious enough for me...

Misunderstandings happen, no need to worry.
