The English for 'incubus' is 'incubus' :). As for what it means, it's a kind
of daemon that's meant to take male form and visit sleeping people for sexual
purposes. The female form is called a 'succubus'. I'm not sure if they're meant
to do anything more harmful than that (though I guess the offspring might be
troublesome). They're Latin words, and the plurals are in -i.
