Talk:Monster Girl Quest: Paradox/@comment-25075355-20150529204715/@comment-9090456-20150529205525

Think about it. All monsters from the same family are of the same species, which can be deducted from the six ancestors. These are the origin of scyllae, succubi, most likely lamiae and so forth. (I have to revise this, I guess. Maybe that a human bloodline changes this, but otherwise, Sara kind of defeats this point. Hope not. I will look for the Q&A)

Alice I, VIII and XVII are of the same species. They are directly related. Alice VIII can't exactly be defined as a lamia looking at her apparent form. And if you played paradox, one can see that there is more evidence for the theory of them being a mixture of many races. Which I won't put down here, because I actually like to preserve sanctity of spoilers.

In short: Alice isn't a lamia, only looks like one. She is able to polymorph, so the way she looks really means nothing for what she is.
