Lore:A demon is a supernatural and often malevolent being prevalent historically in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology, and folklore; as well as in media such as comics, videogames, movies, and television series.
The original Greek word daimon does not carry negative connotations. The Ancient Greek word Ī“Ī±ĪÆĪ¼ĻĪ½ daimÅn denotes a spirit or divine power, much like the Latin genius or numen. The Greek conception of a daimÅn notably appears in the works of Plato, where it describes the divine inspiration of Socrates.
In Ancient Near Eastern religions and the Abrahamic traditions, including ancient and medieval Christian demonology, a demon is considered a malicious spiritual entity which may cause demonic possession, calling for an exorcism. In Western occultism and Renaissance magic, which grew out of an amalgamation of Greco-Roman magic, Jewish Aggadah and Christian demonology, a demon is believed to be a spiritual entity that may be conjured and controlled.

Incubus/SuccubusA Succubus is a demon in female form, or supernatural entity in folklore (traced back to medieval legend), that appears in dreams and takes the form of a woman to seduce men, usually through sexual activity. The male counterpart is the Incubus. Religious traditions hold that repeated sexual activity with a Succubus or Incubus may result in the deterioration of health or mental state or even death as they drain your life force through these transactions.
In modern 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.
An Incubus is a demon in male form who, according to mythological and legendary traditions, lies upon sleeping women to engage in sexual activity with them. They may even impregnate women during these interactions, or if a Succubus becomes pregnant from a human, it may result in children called a Cambion.
Salacious tales of Incubi and Succubi have been told for many centuries in traditional societies. In their demon forms, they tend to have bat wings, horns, a tail, and even sometimes hoofed feet. As any demons, however, their appearance is varied, however, their humanoid form is always attractive.
