Succubus & Incubus

Description A succubus is a demon in female form, or supernatural entity in folklore, that appears in dreams and takes the form of a woman in order to seduce men, usually through sexual activity. The male counterpart to the succubus is the incubus.

An incubus is a demon in male form who, according to mythological and legendary traditions, lies upon sleeping women in order to engage in sexual activity with them. Its female counterpart is a succubus. Salacious tales of incubi and succubi have been told for many centuries in traditional societies.

In late European mythology and literature, a cambion is the offspring of an incubus, succubus, or other demon. In its earliest known uses, it was related to the word for change and was probably cognate with changeling. Gallery
