Shiklah is a succubus who ruled over the monsters of Earth alongside her family before humans existed. After being overthrown by the vampires, Shiklah's father sealed her and her pet dragon, Bug, in a coffin to protect them. In the present, Dracula tasks Deadpool with retrieving Shiklah so she can help him unite the monster world under his rule.[1] Shiklah falls in love with Deadpool instead, and they ultimately marry in a ceremony officiated by Nightcrawler. However, the two ultimately divorce, with Shiklah marrying Dracula instead.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
