The Lilim, or Lilin, are dangerous demons similar to succubi that reside in Hell. The Lilim were conceived through Lilith alone, though some of them came from the union of herself and Samael, the angel of death.
Men feared the Lilim for this reason and women also feared the Lilim because it is believed that they kidnap children like their mother Lilith. They are amazingly beautiful and strongly resemble their mother. The Lilim are said to bring harm to human children, and to seduce men who are caught in their gaze. Like their mother, they drain men of their essence.
Lilith was believed to be the sexual, pleasurable manifestation of a goddess, the prime deity of the prevailing religion which ancient Judaism sought to destroy. Such folklore said Lilith had control of life or death over any child produced by any sexual union not prescribed by Jewish law including husband and wife in candle light, the woman completely naked, or at a time forbidden by the law.
They were also compared to the Empusa of ancient Greece.
"Origin: Germany. Daughters of Lilith, queen of the Succubi. They are as beautiful as their mother and appear in men's dreams, just like Succubi. They are said to be the origin of the Incubi and Succubi tales."
"The children of Lilith. Like their mother, they have sex with men at night. Their legend spread to Greece where they are known as the 'Empusa'."

"The name for the daughters of Lilith, the first wife of Adam of the Old Testament of the Bible. They are amazingly beautiful and strongly resemble their mother. The Lilim are said to bring harm to human children, and to seduce men who are caught in their gaze. They are often identified with succubi, and also with the Empusa of Greek mythology."
