If I remember right, my intro to lamias was in Final Fantasy 1+2 on the GBA. Harpies were introduced in Warcraft 3, though I might have owned Castlevania Circle of the moon before it (note that doesn't compare to a custom harpy race). I later found games that let you control the monster too, like Symphonia 2 and Disgaea, which would almost always lead to teams of monster girls and dragons for me. Since I have a thing for making women powerful, it was quite satisfying to level them up. The one other big kink I'd often look for in games was transformations, either for the power fantasy or because it was a way to play as monster girls again.Absolutely understandable. Who could ever resist this?
Most of the time it was enemy creatures in games, harpies, lamias, succubi, and other monster girls. There was always a thing early on where I'd want to just let myself be defeated by them since they made me feel strange in a way that other things never did. One of the earliest examples I can think of were the madragoras in Tales of Symphonia.
Huh, I'd considered bringing up the succubi in Star Ocean Last Hope, but decided against it. It wasn't my introduction to them, but was one of my favorite instances of them. The intro was the Castlevania games.me too, I'd always try to keep the mandrakes alive until the end. Star Ocean: Til the End of Time introduced me to Succubi and I'd fight the all Succubus team in the coliseum over and over letting them charm my whole team, fantasizing about that happening me
Spoiler for the Manga:Caska from berserk, she was really beautiful and badass
I adored her but my hearth was crushed with sadness on the last 2 episodes.
Poor caska T_T
They did say that the King of elfs could fix caskaOi! Don't jinx it! I trust in Danann and I want to think Casca'll be healed and ram the Dragonslayer up Femto's butt one day.
Akane Tendo from Ranma 1/2. Had a huge crush on her when I was like 13, Ranma was one of the first manga I read. I think it's why I have such a predilection for tsunderes now.
This might sound crazy but my first fantasy girl/creature crush was the snake Kaa from The Jungle Book (yes, the cartoon version). I had a constant dream where she would wrap herself around me, carefully choking me...then release me a bit...then choking me again. And I think I loved it.
The 2nd crush was a girl named konoko from a game called Oni. I don't know if someone knows it. But, yeah, I still would say Kaa if I had the choice
The original cartoon version was male, actually. They changed Kaa to a female in the recent live action one.
