Entity Archive: The Succubus

  • Entity Name: Succubus

  • Primary Tags: Monster, Ethereal, Energy-Drain, Global

The Succubus is a pervasive manifestation found across the global mythological substratum. Unlike common folk-tales that categorize them strictly as demonic, modern archival research suggests these entities are actually Class-IV Ethereal Parasites that feed primarily on the bio-electric output of sentient organisms, specifically targeting the endocrine fluctuations associated with intense REM-cycle dreaming.

Under current archival guidelines, all personnel interacting with data regarding this entity must adhere to the following logic protocols:

[System Rule] Active State Protocols:

  1. Metaphysical Compliance: All interactions must remain strictly within the established Global Physical and Occultic Laws. Breach of these laws may result in the entity anchorifying itself within the local reality.
  2. Perimeter Security: A mandatory 50-meter base vigilance radius must be maintained during active research or observation phases.
  3. Psychic Shielding: Researchers are advised to utilize Class-B cognitive dampeners to avoid the projection of “synthetic desire,” which acts as a beacon for the entity.

SCP/Anomaly Worldview Synthesis: Unlike physical entities that can be restrained with iron or steel, the succubus exists in a state of phase-shifting uncertainty.

  • Current Status: Under observation.
  • Containment Note: Efforts to trap the entity in a standard vacuum-sealed chamber have failed due to its ability to traverse non-Euclidean dream-spaces. Current containment strategy relies on “Reality Anchors” tuned to the specific frequency of human REM cycles.

“The succubus does not ‘want’ in the human sense. It is a biological necessity—a manifestation of the collective subconscious seeking to regulate emotional overflow. It is neither good nor evil; it is an equilibrium-seeker. Treat it as a rogue algorithm in the simulation of reality.” — Senior Archivist Valerius, Department of Mythic Hazards

Archival Status: Ongoing. Please submit additional documentation if you have encountered variations of the succubus in urban or digital environments.
