Type of vampire	Demon

Incubus (iN-cue-bus) demon in male form that seeks to have sexual intercourse with sleeping women. In medieval Europe, union with an incubus was supposed by some to result in the birth of witches, demons, and deformed human offspring. The legendary magician Merlin was said to have been fathered by an incubus. Parallels exist in many cultures.

“All cultures from all over the world and from all time periods have reports of a type of vampiric demon that feeds off the sexual energy of humans” The female version of this creature is the Succubus.

The word incubus is derived from the Latin incubus (“nightmare”) and incubare (“to lie upon, weigh upon, brood”). In modern psychological usage, the term has been applied to the type of nightmare that gives one the feeling of a heavy weight or oppression on the chest and stomach.

Ecology

The incubus assaults its female victim at night who will experience the event as if it were an erotic dream. The incubus will "lock" on a woman (usually a nun) becoming difficult to drive away. In Christian areas some suggested methods are exorcism, relocating, or repeatedly making the sign of the cross. The incubus can be held at bay via garlic and a Druid stone (a stone with a natural hole through it). The offspring of a Incubus and human female is known as a Cambion.
