Many believe that the succubi and incubi are like those typical winged demons, with little horns and a tail. Nothing is further from reality. They are horrible demons, yes, but their appearance when they move through our world does not give them away at all.
succubus demons
These demons always have the appearance of a woman of extraordinary beauty, perfect skin and dark or reddish hair. Possibly the same aspect of Lilith, Queen of Darkness and Night, from whom all other succubi are believed to be descended.
They hide behind this attractive facade in order to attract and tempt mortals who cross their path. His only mission is to attract first to torment later.
His movements are agile and precise. Their way of walking is very seductive and they have a great presence and charisma. That kind of charisma that fascinates and almost mesmerizes his interlocutor, although an astute viewer could tell that he is a demon by that flash in his look of dark and sick desire.
They speak several languages, so they have no problem striking up conversations and establishing new social relationships. They could be considered the ideal company if it weren’t for the fact that sometimes they get carried away and show off their most lewd side.
Succubus demons do not need to be aggressive and, moreover, they avoid conflicts. They prefer to use their persuasiveness and people skills to achieve their goals. In addition, if necessary, they will not hesitate to adopt the role of victim or damsel in distress. They can even tangle and turn against each other just for fun.
Once they have chosen the mortal they try to walk him away from the crowd, and then they use their powers of suggestion, much like that of vampires, to make him believe almost anything they want. When the victim enters that hypnotic state, she is attacked by the succubus, which consumes the victim’s energy while they have sex.

These demons draw on the vital energy of the mortal, energy that also allows them to maintain their youthful and charming appearance.
After the state of unconsciousness, the victims pass into a deep sleep from which they usually wake up exhausted, depressed and with the sensation of having lived a horrible nightmare, although if the succubus exceeds extracting energy, they may not be able to wake up and end up dying.
Something that amuses these succubus demons a lot is attacking virtuous men or those who have taken a vow of chastity. They love to torment them when they wake up from sleep with memories of orgies and perversions that make them feel very ashamed.
Although it is not usual, on certain occasions the succubi show their true appearance while having relations with their victims. Snake eyes, fangs, bat wings and tail are a martyrdom «extra» that they enjoy when their victim doesn’t particularly like them.
incubus demons
The incubus demon is the male counterpart of the succubus. A very attractive and strong young man who generally seduces and attracts women, whom he torments in the same way that succubi usually do.
There is a theory that these demons are descendants of fallen angels that have degenerated into energy suckers. Although it is also said that, in reality, the incubi and the succubi are the same type of demon, which takes the form of a man or a woman according to the tastes of its victim.

They tend to approach all kinds of women; old or young, married, single or widowed, although they share with the succubi their weakness for religious women and strong morals, especially novices. They enjoy knowing the pain and embarrassment they will cause their victims upon awakening from their hideous sleep.
Many of these women can even become pregnant. When this occurs there is a possibility that the baby born is a spawn at the disposal of the forces of evil, or a powerful magical human who declines to do good. An example of this last case is that of the magician Merlin, who is said to have been born from the dark seduction of a nun by an incubus.
bed charms
The succubi and incubi have the ability to enchant the place where the sexual attack takes place, generally the victim’s bed, so that every time the victim rests on said bed, part of their energy is drained, which goes directly to the demon even if it is far from the place.
This powerful spell can end the mortal’s life while making the demon stronger. Thus, the more victims it gets, the more powerful it becomes.
