Incubus

Asmoday, The First Incubus

* Ring of Lust

### Summary

Male Devils who feast on the life-force and sexual desire of others to increase their own demonic power.

The **Incubi**, plural form of **Incubus**, is a male-exclusive race of natural-born Devils who feast upon the life-force of other species during sexual intercourse. They are known for raping and impregnating human women to bear new incubi.

They are considered the male counterparts of the Succubi.

## Overview

An **Incubus** is a demon in male form supposed to lie upon sleeping women in order to have sexual intercourse with them, according to a number of mythological and legendary traditions. Its female counterpart is the succubus. An incubus may pursue sexual relations with a woman in order to father a child, a cambion, as in the legend of Merlin.

Religious tradition holds that repeated intercourse with an incubus or succubus may result in the deterioration of health or even death. In medieval times, the church would use incubi and succubi to explain sexual functions, which were taboo subjects.

## Appearance

The appearance of incubi varies from incubus to incubus, though all incubi are known to be extremely attractive and alluring. Their body is sculpted to perfection, with defined muscles like ancient statues, and is physically appealing to everyone regardless of sexual orientations. In fact, in contrast to medieval beliefs of them as hideous monsters, no incubi had ever been recorded as nothing but attractive, with many demonologists speculated that they only transformed into ugly appearances to scare and mock their foes.

Like many other Devils, most incubi have a preference to gothic or emo fashion. More often than not, they are considered to be the ultimate Hot Topic models by their victims. Their fashion style is also very revealing and sexually provocative, often to accentuate their best features. Similar to other demonic creatures, they have black bat-like wings, though theirs faded into a bright-red color at the tips.

The penis of an incubus is reported to be extremely long and thick, often above 25.4cm (10 inches) in length, with veins running across the shaft to form an inverted cross. Little spikes also run across the shaft to increase the pleasure the receiver gains intercourse. The glans is described as being a bright red, like as if it has just been dipped in human blood. It is well-known to be very cold to the human touch, almost like an icicle.

Some incubi also have the habit of possessing unconscious or deceased human men and using their body to sleep around in the human world. The telltale sign of a victim of incubus possession is the bright-red glow in their eyes when they're under a blacklight.

In their true form, they are vaguely humanoid monsters of roughly 9-feet tall, with pinkish-red skin and yellow snake-like eyes with either pink or red irises. They have a giant bloody tongue that is around 13-inches long and is also oozing with aphrodisiac. They have giant claws for hands and giant hooves made out of gleaming bronze. They wear no clothing in this form, exposing their genital area. Their penis is a giant serpent with poisonous fangs and almost as large as a human leg, while the pubic hair is a mass of coiling tentacles. They also have a spade-tipped tail which is pinkish-red like their skin but gradually faded into black at the tip.

## Characteristics

Incubi's behavior is primarily based on their sexuality. Their nature is proud, hedonistic, and charismatic, and they are always on the hunt for potential victims to rape and impregnate. They scoff at ideas such as virginity, celibacy, and monogamy, though each has his own approach.

Some are more reclusive, distancing themselves from social company, preferring the most guarded secrecy until the mood suits them, to feed or to engage in other pursuits. Others prefer to interact with potential preys in more grerarious settings, like in parties and at brothels - either as sex workers or as patrons - to feel out the people to whom they feel the greatest physical attraction toward.

Despite being known for being Devils who raped human women in their sleep to bear their demonic offsprings, most identified incubi have shown to have much healthier and nicer relationships - both sexual and romantic - toward other men. Their preference when choosing male partners are usually those who still hide their sexuality, preferably married men struggling with their sexual identity, as "confused men like that are much cuter, y'all know?". According to one incubus, the belief of incubus being repulsed by other men is nothing more than a propaganda from the Church, though he admited that many incubi preferred to be seen as this than be used as a way to demonize homosexuality.

Like many other demonic species, the remaining incubi in the Netherworld are more-or-less under the control of the current Devil Government, though their true loyalty is with the Asmoday Clan, the last "true" descendants of the original Asmodeus, and other Asmodean Clans, as incubi themselves are said to all be descended from Asmodeus himself. They work as sex workers, entertainers, and diplomats within the new Netherworld society, using their superior attractiveness to their benefit and gain popular statuses within the new world. Some even allied with the 72 Pillars and dealt with the more explicit requests from their human clients, continuing their traditional work in the modern era.

They have little to no respect toward succubi, similar to how they themselves hadn't had any respect from succubi either. Aside from seeing them as mere harlots who will spread their legs for any moving being with a functioning penis, they are deemed as having no other worth both as women and as Devils. Because of the two races' disgust toward each other, their relationship toward the other can be strain at best and hostile at worst.

The only known cases of succubi and incubi working together are when they were given specific missions from the higher-ups.

## Types of Incubi

### Boto

The **Boto**, also known as **Encantado** and **Tonina**, is a race of incubi from Brazilian mythology who are often the offspring of incubi with mermaids. They appear as handsome, muscular men with a blow hole on their head, which they will hide using a hat. Their true form resembles that of an Amazon river dolphin, though it is so monstrous that whoever looks at them will lose their mind and go insane right after.

Despite botos' incapability to understand both pain and death, they are naturally attracted to the pleasures and hardships of human societies. They possess powerful demonic magic, capable of inflicting illnesses, insanity, and death, as well as conjuring up rain and storms. They have a taste for human flesh and will go out of their way to kidnap humans and feast on their meat, especially those who are bastards or those who wander near their territory between dusk and dawn.

They prefer their victims being young girls below 16 years old as they considered 16 to be the point where a woman's maidenhood lost its purity. Occasionally, they will have a twisted game in which several botos will transform into their victims' fathers and impregnate them to see which one of the children will be born more hideous and deformed.

It is considered taboo to eat boto's flesh in their dolphin form, as the meat contains a dangerous venom that can easily kill a High-class Devil in several hours after consumption or even curses the one who ate them with eternal youth and bad luck.

### Lidérc

The **Lidérc** is a race of incubi from Hungarian folklore, that were born from the first egg of a black hen that was kept inside a witch's vagina. They appear as beautiful androgynous men with ashy skin and leave behind footprints in the shape of horseshoes, as their true form is that of a centaur-like creature with the body of a muscular man, the head of a rooster, and the lower body of a black horse.

More often than not, they are created by witches to serve as their familiars, as they have the innate ability to attract money, treasures, and precious objects toward them by slightly warping the reality around them. They are associated with the element of fire, appearing as a fiery light, a will o' the wisp, or even as a firebird.

Like all other incubi, they feast themselves on the life-force of the human victims they raped, with its most favorable victims being those who had recently lost their loved ones. Victims of the lidércs are often left confused, sickened, and terrified. They can enter their victim's house through the chimney or keyholes, leaving behind a splash of flames and dirties the house' walls.

Lidérc is a Devil impossible for novice exorcists to fight against without proper training, experience, and equipment, and are thus often given to high-ranked exorcists as extermination missions. The only known ways to weaken a lidérc is to force them to listen to the first crow of a rooster at dawn or to trap them inside the hollow body of a birch tree.

### Orang Minyak

The **Orang Minyak** is a race of incubi from Malay ghost beliefs. They appear as handsome and muscular older men in their 50s with glowing white eyes, dressed in nothing but skimpy black thongs or loincloths, and their skin is covered in shiny black grease, which also acts as an aphrodisiac.

They are known for abducting beautiful men and women, especially young virgins, in the night using their ability to dissolve into shadows and darkness. Often, they will just rape them to absorb their life-force before letting them go, though some would also impregnate them and make them bear their sons. In very rare cases, usually when they are suffering a severe lack of life-force, they will eat the genitals of their victims to replenish their power.

### Popobawa

The **Popobawa** is a race of incubi that first appeared on the Tanzanian island of Pemba, with **Mapopobawa** being the plural form of the name. Despite its name ("*Bat-wing*"), they are shapeshifters and are capable of taking different forms, not just that of a bat as its name implies. Its most common form is that of muscular young man, with dark and tattooed skin and sulfurous odor.

As shapeshifters, mapopobawa can take either human form or a giant bat-like form, though they can also metamorphose from one into another. Unlike other incubi, they choose to feast themselves from large groups, often choosing entire households and attack all of the members, men and women and children alike, before passing on to another house in the neighborhood. The presence of a popobawa inside the house can be shown with simple mysterious physical assaults such as scratching and slapping, and/or poltergeist-like phenomena.

They feast upon the life-force of their victims when sexually assaulting them. Their favorite method of sexually assult is by anal sodomising them while they are asleep.

### Trauco

The **Trauco** is a race of incubi from traditional Chilote mythology that roam the woods of Chiloé. They appear as short and hairy men, with a burly built, similar to that of dwarves, and a tail that resembles a stone-headed hatchet. They are all reported to have legs but have no feet.

They are known for their innate hypnotic ability, which is considered the most powerful among all other incubi-races, which they use to seduce young and middle-aged women into sleeping with them. Unlike regular incubi, however, children born of traucos and humans are always humans, though they would inherit some supernatural charisma from their demonic father.

They are said to possess a powerful petrifying gaze, which can instantly kill a magicless human with just a single glance into their eyes.

### Zburător

The **Zburător** is a race of incubi from Romanian folklore whose true appearance is that of demonic dragons with a wolf head and a tail made out of hellfire. They often take the appearance of handsome men with extremely pale skin. They are reported to have a connection with the Zmei, though the exact relations between the two races are unknown.

They often fly across the Romanian night sky with their dragon-like wings before dropping down to snatch their victims in their claws and bring them back to their leir to rape, impregnate, and usually eat afterward. While they don't have a specific preference in mind while hunting, they seem to prefer the recently married above all else, as "the despair radiating from those newly-weds is simply intoxicating".

## Trivia

* The word *incubus* is derived from the Late Latin *incubo* "a nightmare induced by such a demon" from *incubare* "to lie upon" (a combination of the Latin *in* meaning "on top" and *cubare* meaning "to lie").
* Incubi, along with the succubi, are located on the lower-ranks of the infernal hierarchy.
* According to Azazel, the HIV/AIDS pandemic was the work of a group of strayed incubi.
