what is an asym?

Someone without a symbiote.

Hosts call themselves “Symbionts” so they aren’t calling themselves “Hosts”. Symbionts call non-symbionts “Asyms”, because “normal” isn’t acceptable and terms like “non-symbionts” is long and awkward.

I take it succubat hosts can have babies just the same as normal

Yes, and because this isn’t always clear: Any kids a succubat host has will be an asym. If the parents kept their original baby making equipment, the kid will look like any other Asym. If the parents got new genitals from the change, their kids will inherit their horns, hooves, and hive coloration (obviously the other parent matters too :v)

Crown crab hosts can also have kids, but Hive Queen hosts can’t.

what is the mortal enemy or apposing species to the succubats?

Most local predators, especially cats and large birds. Also people who hate succubats, and are trying to exterminate them. Succubats as a species basically rely on numbers and pairing with a stronger, more intelligent species in order to do well

Is it difficult or not possible for a sucubat symbiote to gain weight do to a higher metabolism? Or high magical energy?

Succubat symbiotes are kinda like cats, where if they can actually manage to catch more food than they need, they take it back to their hive (Namely the queen). So the symbiotes themselves aren’t very likely to get overweight.
