tempters

Those who lure

Tempters are people or things that entice others toward something appealing but potentially unwise or forbidden.

The word carries moral weight—tempters lead others astray from virtue, discipline, or good judgment: The dessert cart rolled by, that cruel tempter.

Satan is the archetypal tempter.

The singular tempter is more common than the plural.
