Changes

'''Daemons''' are entities of the [[warp]], and servants of the [[Gods of Chaos]]. They are created at the whim of a Chaos god from a fraction of the god's own power and act as an extension of their will. A daemon's appearance and character reflect the god's own nature. These daemons may be reabsorbed into the god at whim. Also, [[Eldar]] [[Avatar|Avatars]] are techically demons of the Eldar war God [[khaineKaela Mensha Khaine|Khaine]], but they are not covered in this article.{{Cite This}}

Instead of being summoned into real space, a daemon may enter the mind of a mortal (the mind of a [[psyker]] is the most susceptible to this), and turn the individual to its will and, through its host, affect reality. Some heretics offer themselves as hosts through daemonic pacts such as the [[Possessed (Chaos Space Marines)|Possessed Chaos Space Marine]]s.⁶

In order to enter real space in greater numbers Daemons need to use Warp rifts. These are breaches in the fabric of reality that can vary in nature and size. At times a Daemon can possess a mortal and turn him into a portal through which whole hosts can pass. These daemonic incursions can taint real space severely, often twisting and reshaping whole planets until they are lost and turned into [[Daemon World]]s.¹⁰ It is not surprising that the [[Imperium]]'s [[Ordo Malleus|Daemonhunter]]s are granted unlimited resources to deal with such threats.⁶
