The Sayaad is the third demonic minion bachelor to the warlock, summoned through the [Summon Sayaad] ability, available at level xix.

Summon Sayaad summons one of the ii genders at random, just warlocks tin can speak with Laphandrus Voidheart/ Kazak Darkscream to change the spell to [Summon Incubus] or [Summon Succubus] , ensuring that only that gender is summoned.

The Sayaad deals melee range Physical and Shadow damage with their weapon, tin can bandage [Lesser Invisibility] on themself, and most iconically of all uses [Seduction] to crowd-control humanoid targets.

The Sayaad tin can bargain more damage than an Imp and continue to attack if they run out of energy, but cannot accept every bit much damage or hold equally much aggro equally a Voidwalker.

Tips

The Sayaad is especially useful on enemies of a lower level than the warlock due to their higher harm output than the Voidwalker.
Because of their Seduction ability, the Sayaad is a very useful pet for a warlock in about PvP situations. Their Lesser Invisibility ability is also very useful; opponents volition underestimate a warlock whom they believe non to have a pet out.
Their [Seduction] power is channeled, which means they are out of the fight for equally long as their seduced target is.
Whiplash tin be used in an emergency to get dangerous enemies away from the warlock. Beware of disrupting a tank'due south positioning of the mobs in a dungeon or raid, though!
Information technology's like shooting fish in a barrel to think that Lash of Pain is a melee range ability, but information technology actually has a generous 20 yards of leeway. This allows them to chase enemies much more effectively than you'd think.

Notes

Targeting either gender of Sayaad with a /flirt or /kiss emote volition crusade a eye to appear above their caput for a short time.
- This was besides the case for the Shivarra.
For virtually of Globe of Warcraft'south history, the third warlock minion was exclusively a Succubus, and incubi did not appear in-game at all. When incubi were requested every bit a warlock minion in Apr 2011, Customs Manager Zarhym responded that Blizzard had plans for offering players a choice between male and female person versions of all warlock demons, but that they didn't have a time frame for when it might be implemented.^[1] 10 years afterward, in September 2021, Blizzard announced that incubi would exist added to the game at some point after patch 9.ane.five—both as a glyph option for warlocks and as an add-on to places where succubus models appear—as part of ongoing efforts to make the game world feel more inclusive and to offer more ways for players to express themselves.^[2] Incubi were added in patch 9.2.0, though not as a glyph; instead, the onetime [Summon Succubus] spell was replaced past [Summon Sayaad] as the default, with the preference of summoning exclusively an Incubus or Succubus being added as a corrective option.
Although [19] Any Y'all Sayaad implies that the warlock's Incubus and Succubus are in fact the same individual in two different forms, the two versions utilise split, randomly generated names. According to Sarah Cotner, the game designer who wrote the quest, this is due to "some primitive mechanics related to Warlock pet names that crusade problems", simply she added that the matter is open to interpretation.^[three]
