-> ''"Although the Devil represented everything we feared, we also really, really wanted to ''do'' [[DracoInLeatherPants him]]."''

This technically has a justification, or at least works as a blunt metaphor, since Satan is supposed to be tempting and sly when it comes to corrupting people, and being physically attractive would be a legitimate tactic in this case. The Bible even says that Satan will sometimes appear as "an angel of light."

Mythologically, Satan actually could take the form of a succubus to steal men's semen, after which he would turn into an incubus and pass it on to a woman. [[ScienceMarchesOn How exactly this was supposed to transmit Satanic genes is unknown.]]

* ''{{Supernatural}}'':

* ''TheTwilightZone'' had Satan turn up in several episodes, usually as a [[DealWithTheDevil conniving businessman]]. But one episode, "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville", featured the Devil as played by Julie Newmar. She doesn't really try to seduce the protagonist, and, within that episode, she might simply be the Devil's usual form, but looking like [[Characters/{{Batman}} Catwoman]] while bargaining for a man's soul has gotta count as an advantage.

Mythologically, Satan actually COULD [[{{Squick}} take the form of a succubus to steal men's sperm, after which he would turn into an incubus and put it in a woman with a little black magic added to make the child EEEEEEEEEEVIL.]]

** Although technically Baphomet is a woman anyway. At least, when the caduceus sitting on her lap isn't interpreted as [[FreudWasRight something else entirely]], in which case Baphomet is a hermaphrodite.

* The 2000 remake of ''{{Bedazzled}}'', with Elizabeth Hurley as Satan. In the original version, Peter Cook wasn't too bad looking either.

* The Devil's of the Runaway Squad from TheWorldGodOnlyKnows are various degrees from cute (Elsea and Haqua) to hot (Nora).

** And Lucifer shows up as MarkPellegrino. So yeah.

* On more than a few occasions, Loki in the Marvel Universe takes on a female aspect, often just to mess with Thor.

* ''Ninth Gate'' featured the devil, aka [[SherlockHolmes Irene Adler]], described by the main character as the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

May also be [[MadonnaWhoreComplex (particularly for female characters)]] the shoulder devil in a GoodAngelBadAngel situation.

* LadyDeath from Chaos! Comics, Avatar Press, and Boundless Comics. After overthrowing Satan himself, she is, in fact, the ruler of Hell. Meanwhile, Purgatori from the same universe is actually a vampire, but, due to her [[FallenAngel fallen angel]] blood, she appears to look like a devil (wings, horns, red skin...no goat hooves, though).

* ''{{Warhammer 40000}}'': Slaanesh often qualifies, though, as the God of Excess, [[AmbiguousGender he/she/it]] can go a bit...[[FanDisservice over the top]] sometimes.

* Ultima from ''FinalFantasyTactics''.

* ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': [[http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Due_%28episode%29 one episode]] had a presumed evil God-like entity claiming to be the devil in the form of a sexy woman. Good thing she didn't show up when Kirk was around.

* Millenia from ''VideoGame/GrandiaII''. She very nearly manages to rape Ryudo...well, it would be rape, but [[RapeIsOkWhenItIsFemaleOnMale it's hard to say]].

* ''AhMyGoddess'':

* Subverted in ''{{Narbonic}}'' by a demon who pulls the shape from Dave's fantasies. [[DoubleSubversion It is later implied]] that the Devil herself is female.

* Satan from ''CaseyAndAndy'' is a definite example - even though she loves him too, she's still Satan, and she doesn't play favorites...much. On at least a couple of occasions, she's seen subjecting the (frequently-dead) C&A to the torments of hell, answering Andy's complaints with "Waddaya want from me? [[CardCarryingVillain I'm evil]]!"

* ''AhMyGoddess'',
** Hild from while not {{Satan}} him/herself is still the [[strike:ruler of Hell]] C.E.O. of the Infernal Realm, and being that she's Urd's mother, also doubles as a HotShounenMom.
** Hagall: In the manga, when [[spoiler: Hild is removed in a coup by her deputies]], and the the position is taken by [[BlondesAreEvil Hagall]], who is not a bad looker either.

* ''Ninth Gate'' featured the devil aka [[SherlockHolmes Irene Adler]] described by the main character as the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

* In ''JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac'', the devil has a few different scary horned male forms, but assumes the form of a cute cheerleader girl because it's one of the things that Johnny least likes.

* LadyDeath from Chaos! Comics, Avatar Press, and Boundless Comics. After overthrowing Satan himself, she is in fact the ruler of Hell. Meanwhile, Purgatori from the same universe is actually a vampire but, due to her [[FallenAngel fallen angel]] blood, she appears to look like a devil (wings, horns, red skin...no goat hooves, though).
* MarvelComics tends to portray Hela, ruler of the Norse land of the dead as a beautiful seductive woman. In mythology she's often portrayed as half alive half corpse. In some continuities she still is half corpse. Her costume is enchanted to give her the appearance of a healthy beauty.
* Lady Blaze the current queen of {{Hell}} in TheDCU. [[http://www.comicvine.com/lady-blaze/29-13675/all-images/108-217901/blaze/105-703426/ With her helmet on]] she has creepy glowing eyes and a SlasherSmile. [[http://www.comicvine.com/lady-blaze/29-13675/all-images/108-217901/lady_blaze__queen_of_hell/105-736587/ Without it...]]

** The recurring [[AtTheCrossroads Crossroads Demon]] and Reaper may be in a different body every time, yet somehow they are always hot women.

* ''TheTwilightZone'' had Satan turn up in several episodes, usually as a [[DealWithTheDevil conniving businessman]]. But one episode, "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville", featured the Devil as played by Julie Newmar. She doesn't really try to seduce the protagonist, and within that episode, she might simply be the Devil's usual form, but looking like [[{{Characters/Batman}} Catwoman]] while bargaining for a man's soul has gotta count as an advantage.

* In ''PrincessMaker 2'' it's possible for your daughter become Princess of Darkness. She literally defeats [[strike:{{Satan}}]] Lucifon and takes his place and giving her HelloNurse status this trope is played straight.
* ''StrangeJourney'': [[LouisCypher Louisa Ferre]] is what happens when Lucifer is portrayed as mysteriously seductive blond woman. Also, for the ladies, LouisCypher of the other SMT games looks like a dead ringer for David Bowie, who, given his real life MemeticSexGod makes him a desirable being to either gender.

* Satan from ''CaseyAndAndy'' is a definite example - even though she loves him too, she's still Satan, and she doesn't play favorites... much. On at least a couple of occasions, she's seen subjecting the (frequently-dead) C&A to the torments of hell, answering Andy's complaints with "Waddaya want from me? [[CardCarryingVillain I'm evil]]!"

* ''{{Touhou}}'' had, in ''Mystic Square'' back in the PC-98 days, the Goddess of the effective equivalent of Hell, Shinki. Not only a DesignatedAntagonist, since she had nothing to do with the calamity in the game, but also a (possible) HotShonenMom of returning heroine Alice (canon isn't quite clear on that point).
