*evil grin* That's partly 'cause they never had 'em showing
up in Hell... (And she claims that the little charm worked
'cause she wasn't gonna cross Heaven _that_ directly, thanks.)

*That* one is more likely to work out well, though you
do start running the risks inherent in having a family
of inbred cannibals -- first, there's stupidity and
lack of education (because you can hardly send the little
blighters to school to learn anything) that starts making
the clan look rather a bit... less than upper crust, and
then there's the whole angel problem. They get all _snitty_
when they find a den of this sort, and some of the holy
howling hypocrits aren't afraid to engage in a little 
disturbing assassination.

The spoilsports.

Then you have to go find some _other_ person to raise up
as a patriarch/matriarch of a clan. (Modern day examples
spring to mind, but are left as an exercise to the reader.)

Could also work, but might get a fair amount of Habbalite
backlash. Worse, it could raise the expectations enough that
the stupid monkeys don't learn their place fast, and they
might actually start thinking about banding together.

I'm not sure you have a human anymore then, and it'd
take personal intervention on the part of a Prince. Is
it really worth his time and energy to plant cuckoo-changlings
like that when he could just have a kid stolen and a look-
alike demonling left in its place?
