'''Daemons''', also known as '''Neverborn''', 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.
===Daemons in realspace===
Being an entity of the Warp (a dimension of the immaterial) a daemon cannot exist for long periods of time in [[realspace]], any more than a mortal can survive unprotected in warp space. There are a few ways a daemon can breach the walls separating warp from real space and gain entry into the mortal universe. Daemons can be fought in a physical sense whilst in realspace but are rarely [[True Death|killed]], more frequently they are banished back into the warp to fester and brood until their next chance into realspace presents itself. Daemons who are banished back to the Warp often have their pride wounded and face mockery by their peers. In order to regain their form, the banished Daemon must remain in some sort of purgatorial state within its master's realm for an indeterminate period of time depending on the whims of their master and the circumstances of their banishment.{{Fn|}}
 
Exposure to even a single daemon can in some circumstances make humans who interact with them, be it in combat or otherwise, more sensitive to the Warp. Such individuals are easier for [[Psyker]]s to influence, but also for daemons to possess.{{Fn|22}}
