Encyclopedia entry

The Empousa is a particularly rare case due to only coming into existence as a result of particular monster pedigrees, the mother and/or father together must be descended from a demon, a satyros, an ignis, and an automaton. The monster holds traits from each of these ancestors which is evident from their goat leg, mechanical almost prosthetic looking leg, hair apparently made of fire, and blood red eyes paired with blue or alabaster skin. These monsters are held in high regard by those seeking to remove boundaries between human and monster society and are often revered as a symbol of harmony, though their nature is the opposite.

Empousa always travel in packs of three to five, so when you spot one look around as others are no doubt in the area and they have no doubt noticed you. They utilize pack tactics by having a single packmate stand out in the open calling to and luring the desired prey in like a moth to a flame. When they prey is close enough the others will leap from their hiding places and aggressively attack the target of their fury, hunger, or desire. The first is the method used against those they despise, the second is the obvious one, the prey turned to a pile of bones coated in claw and teeth marks in a matter of minutes, and as for the last if they happen to encounter a man (or woman) to which they are all fond of they will attack and bring them back to their den.

This den is usually a small hut they were 'gifted' from the prior owners, here the pack of demons will act as hunters and gatherers and will leave most of the housework to their mate, if the mate had relatives or friends then the closest of them will be invited to join them and tribe-like settlement will arise with the pack and their mate as the five chiefs or a council. Unlike most other demons however they do not give of enough demonic energy to convert their mates and humans in general into monsters.

The hair though flaming does not burn those they care for and in fact serves as a pleasure point if pulled. During mating they prefer to do so as a pack, taking turns and often preforming various lewd acts on one another in front of their husband as to get him aroused. They will often take up places on his waist and mouth while the other will fondle, kiss, and caress those currently taking their turns.

Gestation of infants is roughly eight months and they give birth to female monsters of the races that make up their bloodline or male humans and on rare occasions (roughly one in three-hundred) they will give birth to an Empousa, these are far more powerful than the usual and will always be pack leaders without exception. This fact further leads to them being held in a light of unity between humans and monsters.
