Editing Mamono Lord (section)

==The Current Mamono Lord==
The current Mamono Lord is responsible for transforming [[Monster Girls|monsters]] into the [[human]]-loving creatures we know of today, and is the mother of all the [[lilim]]. Other details on her personality and interests (beyond sex) are sketchy, in spite of her central role in the ''Monster Girl Encyclopedia''. She is at least mentioned to deeply love her [[Mamono Lord's husband|husband]], and the [[human]] species in general. Appearance-wise, "''lilims have pale skin and pure white hair, which they share in common with the Mamono Lord and red eyes full of mamono mana''". Also, the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia World Guide II: Mamono Realm Traveller's Guide#Tentacle Story|story on the punishment of the Tentacle Forest]] ''probably'' relates to an adventure she personally embarked on early in her reign (although the "''white-haired succubus''" to which it refers could conceivably be one of her daughters instead, its unlikely given how it seems to have happened not long after monsters became monster girls, and thus there was probably not enough time for any lilim to have been born and matured yet). ''[[Monster Girl Encyclopedia World Guide - Side I: Dragonia]]'' tells the story of  how she visited the dragon nation, [[Dragonia]], and personally advised the dragon queen, Deonora, to drop her draconic pride and accept her desire to find a husband, taking a direct hit from Deonora's flame of fury, and even making sure there's no casualties from Deonora's wrath before the latter accepted defeat<ref>[[Monster Girl Encyclopedia World Guide - Side I: Dragonia#1. Dragonia History]]</ref>.

Although all monsters would agree that the Mamono Lord is, at least in a nebulous sense, their "leader", the degree of control she exerts over different factions and species varies considerably. For example, while the monsters of [[Zipangu]] appreciate and respect her for giving them female forms, they are in practice almost completely autonomous. Nevertheless, the Mamono Lord's metaphysical sovereignty over the monsters does affect their behavior: just as her succubus nature influences their bodies, so too her personality influences their minds, giving all monsters a preference for monogamous relationships and not stealing other girls' husbands (though their own cultural and species norms have some influence too).

In the previous era, usually, Mamono Lords came to power over many years by butchering their way to the top of the pile of slavering inhuman monstrosities, with the tacit approval of the [[Chief God]], with their function being to organize the monsters and lead them on campaigns of such massive scale that humanity as a whole is culled and falls in numbers substantially. For reasons that are not completely known (there were many factors at play), the present Mamono Lord was able to short-circuit this process, gaining the title by acclamation from the other monsters (though she did fight for it as well). While most monsters in former ages literally ate humans for breakfast due to instincts instilled by the gods, the Mamono Lord was instead motivated by a deep love of those creatures that were supposed to be her enemy (she was an example of the rare monsters that were able to resist the human-killing instinct, and even come to love humans), and so she set in 
motion a plan to end their eons-long conflict forever, by transforming monsters into [[Monster Girls|monster girls]] and trying to fuse the two species into what would in effect be one united "human" species (incubi as the males, and monster girls as the females). Together with her [[Mamono Lord's husband|human husband]] (the chosen hero of the time and now even more powerful as an incubus), she drove off the Chief God (who had come down to kill both of them) in battle and began to focus on expanding her influence on the world.

The Mamono Lord's original plan - to use the position of Mamono Lord to give monsters alluring female forms, and then her own strength to rewrite the laws of reality - was only partially successful. Although it created the monster girls and removed their human-killing impulses, at present their coupling with humans can only produce female offspring: that is, more monster girls, whereas the plan was to have monster girl daughters and [[incubus]] sons. and thus produce a self-sustaining united species. Obviously, the current situation represents potentially a very slow-moving (its been a thousand years and there are still plenty of humans) demographic train crash that'll eventually lead to the extinction of monsters and humans. In order to raise her magical power to push the final stage of her plan through the Chief God's metaphysical resistance, the Mamono Lord spends plenty of her time holed up in her castle in [[Royal Makai]] screwing her husband.

However, the Wandering Scholar advises that if one wishes to, they can seek her and her husband out and consult them for their knowledge (assuming they can make it to their castle without ending up captured by
<nowiki> </nowiki>a monster). The scholar himself is stated to have interviewed her in person (perhaps thanks to the protection from other monsters offered by his Leanan Sidhe traveling companion).

World Guide 2, in explaining [[Magic Gems|magic gems]], remarks that her (and her husband's) power is so intense that no magic gem has yet been crafted that is capable of holding it. 

''[[Succubus Notebook]]'' gives the info that she is believed to be the first succubus Mamono Lord in history (succubi were at the time usually mid-rank monsters and thus unable to win the competition to gain the title of Mamono Lord), and that even before ascending the throne and gaining the power associated with her title, she was the most powerful of all succubi living at the time.

World Guide 3 expands on our knowledge of her a bit. Namely we learn that it is rumored she has adopted at least one human girl, and used her incredible powers to make her into a succubus that is a lilim in every sense aside from her parentage. We also get a pretty clear indication (from the name of [[Lilith's Panacea|a legendary item crafted by accident by her]]) that the Mamono Lord's name is Lilith. Said item also gives us our first clear indication of her looks beyond her similarity to her daughters, the item depicting a very elegant and voluptuous succubus with very long hair, rather intricate horns (compared to other succubi) and magnificent wings.

It's noted that "Normally, the law of the world would not change just by replacing the Mamono Lord, and the only change that would occur to monsters would be 'an increase in the number of female-type monsters that suck humans to death.' It seems to be the result of a number of 'events that normally would not have happened', including the Mamono Lord being married to the hero of the time."<ref>[[Monster Girl Encyclopedia Introduction#Introduction - The World of Monster Girl Encyclopedia|Introduction]]</ref> Although not acknowledged in the setting, this is confirmed to be the result of Fate being on the Mamono Lord's side.<ref>[[Kenkou Cross Q&A/Ask.fm#Setting]]; Question 72</ref>
