And then I played, saw that they die like flies with a single hit, and all love for them faded, the tomatoes withered, pain, disappointment, I even started to fanart them less. Succubi are, of course, a little better, because they have ranged attacks, but still.

But with the unit models in the fifth installment of Inferno, everything is very good. Each creature has its own recognizable silhouette, its own style, very skillfully exaggerated cartoonish features, excellent work with portraits - here you have both downright ugly imps with large tongues and small eyes, and cute, languid succubi faces, and an archetypal goat-like devil, and nightmares with Cerberuses, looking like evil parodies of puppies and ponies. I especially like the pit lords with their almost dragon-like faces. A very cool balance is struck between cute, expressive cartoonishness and chthonic demonic alienness; the units as a whole look stylish and harmoniously fit into the game, but some of them have something wonderfully wrong and frightening. Twisted wings raise questions, of course, but who cares if it looks cool, anatomy? I'm not familiar with that lady. The hooves of the succubi are also outrageously unanatomical, but what does anatomy matter to us if succubi are the sponsor of hundreds of thousands of billions of satyr-like creatures with huge hooves, with which I filled my then-setting to the brim. I really like the monstrous-reptilian nature of the Cerberuses and Nightmares; this breaks their seemingly mammalian appearance, and it works perfectly for the alienness and wrongness of the demonic offspring. Nightmares can only be criticized for the horn on their nose; it looks very unbalanced, and the pony clearly has a hard life with such a thing.
