    An Incubus is a Lower-Realm fiend that enters sleep through desire, loneliness, and the wish to be understood without risk. Its chosen appearance changes to fit each victim. The fiend feeds on vitality and secrecy, returning because the dream seems easier than waking life. It is defeated most reliably when the victim recognizes the bargain and refuses to hide it.

    Special Attack

    Dream Embrace: one creature within 30 ft makes a Mind save. On a failure, it becomes held in a waking dream and takes 2d8 psychic damage at the start of its next turn.

    Special Defense

    Secret Spoken Safely: an affected creature that tells an ally what it saw immediately ends Dream Embrace. The Incubus cannot assume the form of someone whose true name it has not heard.
