Possible sub-type: Heraph, a rare variant of the Alp, in which the physical transformation does not finish.

A Heraph forms when a man who has been in enough contact with demonic energy that he would change into an Incubus, but instead, turns into a monster due to his desire to be with men sexually. While the spirit creation faculty is destroyed in the same way an Alp's is, a Heraph was originally bisexual, and thus, her body stops halfway through the transformation. While the body has all but monsterized, the penis remains, an outward sign of desire for intercourse with women.

The Heraph retains her ability to orgasm by way of her penis, but instead of the spirit energy infused semen, a thick white liquid that contains possibly the most concentrated form of demonic energy known to monster is released. This liquid will immediately transform any woman it enters into a succubus. Like Alps, some Heraphs will reject their body initially, while some accept and even enjoy their transformations.

Heraphs are unable to mate, however, and all heraphs are formed via monsterization. They do, however, feed on the spirit energy produced by men. However, their need for the substance is similar to a woman's need for it: the surrounding spirit energy flows into them, producing demonic energy as a biproduct. The added bonus of a man's spirit energy merely makes the fire burn a little hotter.

Able to relate to both men and monsters, Heraphs are often found as diplomats. Because of their ambivalence, some Heraphs begin love triangles, pleasing both man and monster, and sharing one with the other. This helps bridge the gap between man and monster, providing an avenue for the two sides to understand each other.

Personality-wise, they are thoughtful and confident. As all people with whom they interact are potential mates, they are ever polite, in hopes that they might ensnare the person. Sexually, however, they are voracious. The demonic energy of a woman fueling the sex drive of a man sends them crazy in lust. Once it begins, it doesn't stop until they have exhausted themselves to fainting.

Heraph is a play on words: it is formed by removing letters from Hermaphrodite, the parent word and base principle surrounding their existence. It also is a play on Seraph, which is a fancy way of saying "Arch-Angel", replacing the S with an H.
