Chaos Daemons, or simply Daemons, also known as a “Neverborn” amongst the forces of Chaos, are intelligent and usually malevolent entities of the Warp comprised of purely psychic energy. Daemons are both sentient and self-aware embodiments of Chaos and collectively the greatest servants of the Chaos Gods and of Chaos itself as a universal force.

Daemons are created at the whim of one of the four major Chaos Gods from a fraction of the god’s own power within the Immaterium and act as an extension of its will. A Daemon’s appearance and intrinsic character reflect the god’s own nature. These Daemons may be reabsorbed into the god’s psychic signature in the Warp at their whim.

The Chaos Gods are not alone in Warpspace. They have created servants from their own essences — the creatures that mortals have named “Daemons” based on their ancient legends and religious mythologies — who are not so closely bound to the Warp. Daemons are entities of a somewhat different nature to their masters and are the most numerous of the creatures to be found in the Empyrean.
