Succubats who live in areas that aren't safe for them have plenty of hings helping them disguise. For one, they live in a world with furries, so even the horns aren't a dead giveaway. Mostly as long as they wear clothes (and maybe some contacts that cover the black sclera, or just sunglasses) they could theoretically explain away other traits.

Thank you for the reply. :3 I hope I'm not asking silly questions that have already been asked elsewhere. ^^;
After bonding are the succubats still individuals, or do they and the host now share a single mind?
Is there any situation in which a succubat could/would disconnect from a host? O.O
What does a baby succubat look like? At what age do they start looking for a host?
Is their assimilation ability magical in nature? Do they have to connect to the base of the spine or could they bond elsewhere to a hosts body? Would someone who lost their legs due to injury grow new ones from the assimilation process? Or perhaps sport some sort of awesome leg-wing combo? :D
Do succubats only seek bondable hosts from sentient life or could/would they bond with a feral?
Can there be an Albino succubat or any other more significant offshoot such as perhaps an aquatic variant or subterranean one? :3

Succubats are like a 3rd lobe, they seem especially like a second being at first, but as the Host acclimates to things, they feel more like the succubat is part of them
Succubats bond for life
Thanks to the sheer size of queens, succubats are born almost fully mature, ready to head out and help basically as soon as they test out their wings and legs. So normal, but even clumbsier
Yes but like, magic and biology and science are all very intertwined. The ones I draw adapted for the base of the spine, and location matters.
Hosts would not regrow limbs, unless they already had that power. (I don't wanna overwrite parts of someone's cool cyborg) but they will need new prosthetic as the bat does to the base what it did to clothes. They'll do things like improve eyesight, and other still existing body parts tho
The Succubats I draw adapted for sapient races. They want that spark of intelligence (and ideal sociability) to run the hive better than they or animals can do. They want our shelters, our farming, and hunting, and food storage. They want our ability to transport lots of food long distances. Animals can't provide that, and that's what makes sapients so successful as hosts.
There have been feral focused bats, but they ran into issues where animals don't farm, and have more trouble feeding a queen. There are non symbiotic succubats who are stronger than the symbiotic ones, but they have the same issues as the ones that infect feral animals, with even less defenses against larger predators.
Yes. The reason fancy offshoots don't happen needlessly is they take more magical energy, and therefor resources, to both create and maintain. So if that adaptation doesn't make them better at feeding the queen, they're outdone by more streamlined bats.

Such awesome lore thank you! O.O ;.; *tears of joy*
Is the lifespan of a host significantly altered at all, increased or decreased? Aside from issues of hosts being potentially hunted down by society and thus die from external sources/causes.
If two, or more, hosts were to breed. Or if a host bred with a non-assimilated of the same suitable species. Do they produce more succubats, or is that just the queens job, or do they produce some sort of hybrid or even unaltered host offspring? Or are hosts rendered sterile? o.O
I'm now picturing some sort of micro-succubats only about the size of golfballs so they swarm a single host and bond at the wrists, ankles, neck, one on each hip, and one directly atop the head. At first producing a pseudo-assimilation as the subjects nerves are first hijacked by the swarm but only allowing them to pilot the body in a puppet like fashion. Until they are able to get the host to a suitable hiding spot or even back to a major hive where the transition can be completed. Afterwards most subjects shed 5 to 7 of their 9 total mini-wings, those wings that remain eventually growing to larger sizes as the host matures, the placement of the wings also heavily shifting the placement of the subject within the hive. Like warriors tending to have their wings on one or more of their limbs, while harvesters would tend to have theirs on their hips.
Just enjoying the random speculation.

Succubats are healthier, and live longer from that, but aren't otherwise more long lived. Queens are Immortal and ever growing. They mostly just run out of food or are taken down.
Only the Queen makes symbiotes. Succubat hosts make normal kids. The kids of trans hosts look at least a little like hosts, but aren't. Queen hosts are sterile as all the extra nutrition goes to more eggs
That's not really a thing I'd do. Right now the hives can use young queens as what are called "Crown Crabs", which turn people queen sized (without all the egg laying) and create a more integrated merger of the host and symbiote's mind

*gives thumbs up* Excellent. ^^
Are there any other forms of symbiotes/parasites/etc within the succubat world setting? :3 I'm curious if they have any sort of direct predator or rival assimilator.
Do they have any sort of potentially humorous weakness? Like citronella candles to mosquitoes, lemon juice to zerglings, or the classic 'music soothes the savage beast' and just the right harmony could make them go all loopy? :3
On the reverse is there anything that would supercharge them? Such as spinach to Popeye, cheese to Monetary Jack. I imagine a Queen getting in trouble would bring swift reprisal from her brood. >:3
Would a succubat ever purposefully bond with a potentially lower quality host specifically to try and save the hosts life or their own?

no rival parasites. Succubats are vulnerable to everything from cats to dogs, to large birds
They don't have some crazy kryptonite, but they are just animals, you could repel them as animals. Generally think of them like cat-birds, behaviorwise.
They don't have some magic supercharge feature
I don't know what a "Lower quality host" would be, but bats will merge with the first person they think they can who is the right gender. (so a single bat might leave a dense crowd alone, but a lot of bats wouldn't)

Thanks. ^^
And I was thinking of 'lower quality host' as in someone who is clearly quite injured, infirm, or otherwise not the optimal sort of host.
Random example would be someone with a Deadpool level of insanity or higher, the sort of mind that even a succubat would take one look at and quietly slink away to find someone more suitable. As you stated they want sentient society so I was just presuming they would look at those who sentient society have essentially kicked out and realize that such people would not be of benefit to the hive.
Terribly sorry if I'm barking up the wrong tree there. Just curious if they had that sort of 'animal sense' where they could figuratively sniff about and think 'oh I don't want that one, that has some horrible disease that assimilation wouldn't cure'.
