An incubus is a small, tentacled spirit born from the mixture of blood and sexual fluids from a person who had died with hatred and malice. The incubi come out at night and induce nightmares, feeding off the fear of their prey.[1]
Appearance[]
The incubus resemble purple, grotesque octopuses, having slimy tentacles. They have one eye with a red pupil that is placed in the center of their oddly shaped cranium.[2] They are shown to bleed dark blue blood as shown when Guts stabs one in the 2016 anime.
Abilities[]
They are able to feed off the fear of the sleeping person, having subjected their victim to nightmares.[1]
Story[]
Guts encountered incubi many times since they are attracted to his and Casca's brands during their sleep.[1] They are easily killed and are usually found in groups during Guts' travels.[3][4]
