Megaira

A megaira is a type of demon that feeds on human aggression. They have physical attributes similar to succubi, although they are not as susceptible to physical damage. They are weakened and rendered unable to feed by electrical current.

Megaira are one of three infernal breeds in the line of The Furies. Modern megaira are descended from Yatam's bloodline.

Pagan (from The Cain Chronicles) is the first character to be named as a megaira.

Description
''Its current occupant was a megaira—a true hellborn, and direct descendent of the Furies. Slender, beaded serpents draped from its skull and hung limply over its bony shoulders. Its papery skin had been transparent for two hours now, which indicated failing strength. Black brands marched down its bony collarbones and imprinted on its sagging breasts, including two centered directly over its pale brown nipples. Watery blood ran freely over its flesh, and it was still trying to laugh, despite the needles that had been driven underneath its thumbnails.''

''Unlike their frail cousins, the succubus, megaira couldn’t bleed to death, and they delighted in the taste of aggression rather than sex. That meant that they could stand up to a lot of torture without speaking. It took creativity and guile to inspire them to share information without resorting to the use of electricity, which was unavailable in the Palace.''&mdash;Excerpt from Dire Blood
