A '''Daemonhost''' is a living mortal body used as a receptacle to bind a [[daemon]], differing from a [[Daemonic Possession|possessee]] in that the daemon does not possess or control the mortal, but is bound into within it. The Daemonhost is used by another mortal, often in order to use [[Chaos]] to fight Chaos.{{Fn|1}}
Being an entity of the [[warp]], a daemon cannot manifest itself in real space under normal circumstances. A daemon may instead enter the mind of a vulnerable [[psyker]] and turn the individual to its will and, through its host, affect reality. Outside of natural circumstances, and outside the [[Eye of Terror]], daemons can exist temporarily in real space by being summoned through complex rituals.{{Fn|1}}
