Though mortals cannot physically hurt an Incubus, they can trap them with a ball-shaped prison called an Arclight. Light Incubuses have the ability to absorb and feed off the memory and dream fragments of mortals.įull-blooded Incubuses has a common weakness that is shared with Vampires- they can't go out in the sun. They also have the ability of seduction as all the girls were attracted to John Breed and Wesley Lincoln. They also have the abilities of enhanced strength, being compared to a 2 by 4, enhanced speed, up to where it is a flash in the moment, and enhanced senses. Incubuses have the ability to Travel, the ability to "rip" away, kind of like materializing. Incubuses are unable to eat and drink anymore. If a Mortal is bitten by an Incubus, he or she becomes an Incubus as well. Incubuses go through the "Transformation", a process that makes them crave human blood and become animalistic. Incubuses were once called "Demon Soldiers" as stated by both Macon and John Breed. An Incubus' lifespan is between 150-200 years. Leah Ravenwood is the only Succubus that appears in the series. A Succubus is quicker, stronger, and more clever than an Incubus.
Though both Blood and Light Incubuses are both technically Dark, Incubuses who restrain from drinking blood usually side with the Light. After the dream fragments are taken, the Mortal has no memory of them anymore. Light Incubuses, who choose not to feed on blood, survive by taking bits and pieces of dreams, thoughts or memories from Mortals. Blood Incubuses, such as Hunting and Abraham Ravenwood, feed on mortal blood. There are two types of Incubuses: Blood Incubuses and Light Incubuses.
Incubuses are Lilum, those who well in the Absolute Darkness.
