It’s interesting that Atsali says this about succubi, considering that she’s half succubus herself and we learn later that Wapsiverse succubi aren’t evil and don’t suck the life out of people, but perhaps she isn’t fully aware of her heritage yet at this point, or perhaps there is more than one kind of creature commonly called a succubus.
Bud’s statement that all mythology has a kernel of truth is a way of stating the concept of euhemerism, the idea that myths and legends come from retellings and embellishments of real historical events or people. But in the Wapsiverse, those original events and people might also be paranormal, just different.
