Enticing Succubus


Lore[]

As one walks upon a beautiful moonlit night, the succubus will suddenly appear before their eyes. She ensnares the pupils of her victim with her sweet voice and lures them into the darkness.

Name Origin[]

In folklore traced back to medieval legend, a succubus is a female demon or supernatural being appearing in dreams who takes the form of a human woman in order to seduce men, usually through sexual intercourse. The male counterpart is the incubus. Religious traditions hold that repeated intercourse with a succubus may result in the deterioration of health or even death.

In modern fictional representations, a succubus may or may not appear in dreams and is often depicted as a highly attractive seductress or enchantress; whereas, in the past, succubi were generally depicted as frightening and demonic.
