Succubus (Sucubi) are powerful female Demons who use their sexuality to appear through the dreams of victims, then seduce and prey on young men, whose souls they slowly drain with each encounter. Their male counterpart is called an Incubus. They are often associated with baobhan sith, a vampire with deer feet who seduce men and are afraid of iron. The word is derived from Late Latin succuba "strumpet" (from succubare "to lie under", from sub- "under" and cubare "to lie")
