Jewish Demons
The thread below on Lilith put me in mind of Jewish demonology generally. By some accounts demons are the offspring of Lilith. Others have it that they were created after humans on the sixth day of creation. However, the sixth day came to an end before God could create their bodies. Therefore they remain incorporeal. Nonetheless demons are phenomenal beings. They age, die, eat, and reproduce. Some female demons are succubi who steal the seed of men in their sleep. There is even a rabbinic ruling that a man visited by a succubus is not guilty of adultery. One story tells that Noah took demons on the ark so that they wouldn't perish in the flood.
There are many stories and superstitions about demons. I may post some of them later if y'all are interested.
