An Incubus in future Castlevania games?

I'm sure we're all familiar with the succubus. Even people who haven't played Castlevania know who the succubus is.

However wouldn't it be cool to introduce an incubus in future games? An incubus is the male equivalent to a succubus and they prey on women instead of men. There was an incubus named Magnus who appeared in the audio drama Castlevania: Nocturne of Recollection, but none in the actual games.



I think an incubus could work well with a female protagontist, like he could take the form of a male that the female character loved just like the succubus takes the form of women to try and seduce the male heroes.

What do you guys think?

Would have been cool in Order of Ecclesia I'd say. Not enough woman teasing in CV games. Then again we're low on female playables as is.

Isacc was already the gayest thing to ever come out of Castlevania, doesn't have to get any gayer than that.

I think it sounds like a good idea. Remember how the succubus from PoR would try to seduce Jonathan, but get angry when she saw Charlotte? It would've been cool to have an incubus in there to balance things out.

Enemy variety is a good thing, right?

no... just no... theres absolutely no reason to have one since 99% of the time the main char is male. Now if they wanted to do a gay hero in CV *cough*chronicles simon*cough* then maybe... or a female main char... other than that I agree with the office clip

OK, what exactly is so "gay" about an incubus? It's basically just a male succubus. They're bat-winged demons who torment mortals, only they tend to prey on mortal women instead of men like the succubi perfer. I fail to see what's so gay about that, unless we just have a classic case of sexism going on here...

Anyways I think it would fit fine in Castlevania. It's true most of the main characters tend to be male, but we're starting to get some playable female heroines such as Maria, Charolette, and Shanoa. I could see an incubus villain trying to tempt one of them just like Magnus did Maria in Nocturne of Recollection.

Actually I don't ger the homophobia. If there's a gay character, ok do it, however, I didn't like they TURNED Alucard into a pussy (He was a fierce warrior in CvIII). Isaac was laughable BTW, but a real "gay" character could be interesting, the bad part is that it will always fall into the "effeminate she-man" estereotype so better not touch them.

Everything comes full circle

Well we have Carmilla if that counts. She's suppose to be a lesbian vampire and Laura was her consort right? Except of course in Lords of Shadow when they turned Laura into her daughter, completely throwing away the point of the character as she was based off the heroine of the novel whom Carmilla was attracted to and wanted to turn into a vampire.

I wonder if she calls her "mother" simply for the sake of her being the head honcho, and Laura having a warped mind.
