Master

The Master is a succubus NPC in Succubus Puttel who is involved in the Exorcism Necklace sidequest, which is crucial to obtaining certain endings of this game. She was originally a puppy belonging to Azreth, who was later able to rise up to become a succubus. She reverts to a canine form in the post-True End sequence.

Appearance
As a puppy, the Master looks like a normal puppy.

As a succubus, the Master uses the same sprite as the Sorceress: a succubus with pale skin, pointed ears, long black hair, and black bat-like wings, wearing a pointed hat and a cape. According to her apprentice, the Master is a canine succubus, but she hides her dog ears to prevent Bosewicht from finding her.

Personality
As a puppy, the Master acts like any normal puppy and shows no signs of sapience. She enjoys playing with Azreth.

As a succubus, the Master seems to be apathetic to most humans. While she won't attack Azreth when he initially talks to her, she also won't agree to his request for something to help him fight succubi. She justifies this by pointing out that she is a succubus and thus his enemy. However, after taking a closer look at him, she is willing to make the Exorcism Necklace for him. Later, she is also willing to give up her continued existence as a succubus in order to give Azreth a chance against Bosewicht. This shows that she is loyal to Azreth even after becoming a succubus.

Additionally, the Master's apprentice notes that she once studied ways of fighting succubi, to the point of attracting the attention of Bosewicht.

Background
The Master was originally a puppy. One day, she limped to the front of the house of Azreth's family. She was taken in by the family and recovered. During Azreth's childhood, he and the Master often played together. However, the Master disappeared at some point, possibly during the succubus attack in which Azreth's parents were abducted.

While on her own, the Master worked hard and was somehow able to rise up to become a high-class succubus. She lived in a chamber in Goble Magma Sea. She also took on an apprentice, referred to in-game as "Mage's Apprentice".

The Master studied ways to fight succubi. However, due to this research, she attracted the attention of Bosewicht. She therefore left Goble while keeping her whereabouts hidden from most people. At some point, she moved to a hut in Shrug Forest, as she was friends with the succubus who lived there.

Succubus Puttel
If Azreth talks to her in the hut and asks about his sister, the Master asks if said sister is still alive and warns him that he should stop his search (for his own safety). She takes a closer look at him and changes her mind. She says that she will be returning to Goble and that, if Azreth brings her the required material, she'll make an Exorcism Necklace for him.

The Master moves back to her chamber in Goble offscreen.

When Azreth brings the Succubus Ivy Seed, the Master takes this and makes the Exorcism Necklace. She uses tempered glass to ensure that it will not break like the previous one did. She warns him to be careful as the necklace alone will not be enough to protect him against succubi.

Later, the Master tells her Apprentice that, should Azreth return, she should add her magic to the Exorcism Necklace. Additionally, the Master says that she plans on using her own magical power to suppress Bosewicht's recovery (Bosewicht having being defeated by Azreth earlier), which would give Azreth a chance of victory against the succubus queen. In doing so, the Master would likely lose her ability to maintain her form as a succubus. The Apprentice asks why the Master is going so far to help humans. The Master claims that this is not only to help humans but also to protect her (the Apprentice), since Bosewicht is capricious. The Master leaves, telling the Apprentice that she can eat the dog snacks on the shelf. With the Master gone, the Apprentice retorts that she isn't a dog like her.

Abilities
The Master is skilled at magic, being called a "genius mage" by her Apprentice. She is able to recreate the Exorcism Necklace invented by Azreth's father, which protects its wearer against succubi. She is also capable of interfering with Bosewicht's ability to recover her magical power, despite Bosewicht being the strongest succubus in the world. However, the latter feat requires her to use up her own magical power, returning her to the form of a dog.
