What is a Succubus?

A succubus is a female demon or supernatural entity found in folklore and mythology, known for seducing men, typically through dreams. The term derives from Late Latin ‘succuba’, meaning “strumpet” or “prostitute”. In modern interpretations, succubi are often portrayed as irresistibly attractive beings who feed on the life force or sexual energy of their victims.

What is an Incubus?

An incubus is the male counterpart to the succubus. The term comes from Late Latin ‘incubo’, meaning “nightmare” or “one who lies upon”. In medieval lore, incubi were thought to lie upon sleeping women to engage in sexual activity, often blamed for unexplained pregnancies. Like succubi, modern depictions of incubi emphasise their supernatural allure and ability to manipulate desires.

Origins and Evolution of Succubi and Incubi Myths

The concepts of succubi and incubi have roots in ancient civilisations, with similar entities appearing in Mesopotamian, Hebrew, and Greek mythologies. Medieval Christian theology further developed these ideas, often associating them with the fall of angels and the temptation of humans.

In Judaic folklore, Lilith, often considered the first succubus, was said to be Adam’s first wife who refused to be subservient. This tale evolved over time, with Lilith becoming a powerful demon who preyed on men and infants.

Modern interpretations in literature, film, and games have transformed succubi and incubi into complex characters, sometimes portrayed as misunderstood beings or even romantic interests, rather than purely malevolent entities.

Characteristics of Succubi and Incubi

Traditionally, succubi and incubi are described as shapeshifters, able to take on attractive human forms to lure their prey. Common features include:

• Otherworldly beauty
• Hypnotic or entrancing eyes
• Wings (often bat-like or feathered)
• Horns or other subtle demonic features
• Ability to enter dreams
• Power to manipulate desires and emotions

In some lore, they’re said to drain life force through sexual contact, while other versions depict them feeding on negative emotions or chaos they create.
