Cambion Conception

Template:ItemTable

Cambion Conception is a passive item added in Afterbirth.

Effects

• Upon taking damage a certain number of times, Isaac gains a permanent demonic Familiar. Possible familiars include:
  • Dark Bum
  • Demon Baby
  • Incubus
  • Leech
  • Lil Brimstone
  • Succubus
• The first and second familiars will each spawn after taking damage 15 times. The third and fourth familiars will each spawn after taking damage 30 more times. No further familiars will spawn. As a result, after taking damage 90 times, four out of six possible familiars will have spawned.
• Isaac will look progressively more pregnant as he takes damage.

Notes

• Lilith starts with this item once unlocked.
• Only one of each type of familiar can be spawned.
• Only actually getting damage counts towards the payout. For example, disrupting the Holy Mantle shield while keeping your heart containers full will not spawn any familiars.
• The effect of Dull Razor counts towards the Cambion Conception payout, allowing familiars to be spawned without taking real damage.
• Familiars spawned this way do not count towards transformations nor the Collection Page.
• Familiars spawned by the item do not affect item pools, so multiple copies of one familiar can be obtained. For example, a second Incubus can be purchased after Cambion Conception spawns one.
• If a familiar obtained is a copy of another one you've already obtained, using Box of Friends will only clone one of that familiar, similarly to the Box of Friends's effects on cloned familiars that it spawns.
• The Succubus spawned by this item will not increase damage by 50%.
• This item is the demonic counterpart to Immaculate Conception.

Trivia

• In mythology, a cambion is the offspring of a human and an incubus or succubus.
• During the development of Afterbirth, Edmund McMillen asked on Twitter what the opposite of Immaculate Conception would be called. 27 people replied with suggestions, but none of them were used.
