What Is a Succubus?
A succubus is a female demon from European folklore who visits men in their dreams. The male form is the incubus. The word comes from the Late Latin succuba, from succubare, which means "to lie beneath." The Malleus Maleficarum, a witch-hunting book first published in 1486, gives long sections to succubi and incubi.
In Dungeons & Dragons, the succubus is a shape-changing fiend that charms its victims. Its signature attack is a draining kiss.
