Lamia/QnA


 * Even in the age of the former mamono lords, monsters of the lamia and harpy families (among others) were still dependent on human men for reproduction. Normally there was no love involved, and once young were born, the man would be eaten. However, in rare cases the monster would awaken to feelings of love and affection, overcoming her killing instincts and living with the man as something like a married couple. (source: Kenkou’s Japanese Q and A).


 * A human woman wearing the shed skin of a lamia family monster can turn into a lamia herself if the lamia has firmly embedded her mana into it. In exceptional cases the woman may become an echidna. (source: Kenkou’s Japanese Q and A).
