Succubus and Incubus. Sexual predators of the demon world, basically. They are said to be the children of Lilith, who is herself sometimes first wife of Adam or the mother of all demons. Succubi are called lilith, as well. Incubi are known as lilin. Some believe that they die at a rate of one hundred per day because their mother left Adam and never came back.
They can prey on children until a certain stage in life, but also attack women by causing infertility and miscarriages. They attack men by seducing them, no surprise here.
An amulet with the initials of Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, the three Magi, inscribed on it is said to be a useful protection for children against lilin and lilith.
