Dream Demons
By Konrad Bennett Hughes
o Marran – Dream Demon, takes the breath from people.
o Trud or an alp often travels a great distance to make his nighttime visits. The Alp is sometimes likened to a vampire, but its behavior is more akin to that of the incubus. It is distinct in that it wears a magic hat called a Tarnkappe, from which it draws its powers. The word Alp is the German form of the word that comes into English as elf, both descended from Common Germanic. It is also known by the following names: trud, mar, mart, mahr, schrat, and walrider.
o Drude is a kind of malevolent nocturnal spirit of an Elfien or hag associated with nightmares.
