Shiklah first appeared in the web comic Deadpool: The Gauntlet #3, and was created by writers Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan and artist Reilly Brown.

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 to unite the monster world under his rule.

She can additionally generate ethereal fire, shapeshift, create dimensional portals, and drain the life force of others.
