Incubus
Demons or goblins which take on the illusory appearance of a male human being
and seek sexual intercourse with women, usually while they are asleep.
According to the church fathers, the incubus was an angel who fell from grace
because of his insatiable lust for women. As a demon, the incubus continued
with his carnal desires, preying upon vulnerable women, raping them in their
sleep and inciting sexual desires that only himself could satisfy
To be able to do his 'thing', Incubus was presumed to come upon his physical
form either by reanimating a human corpse, or by using human flesh to create a
body of his own, which he then endowed with artificial life.
Often incubi made themselves appear in the person of real people - a husband,
a neighbor, a friend etc.
If there was an offspring it was thought to be supernatural in many cases,
even if the actual genetic material originally came from humans.
