**The common [[Daemon]]s of Khorne. They are horned humanoids with hunched, crested backs, their limbs wiry but notoriously strong. They care nothing for strategy or subtlety as they are anger personified. Unless guided by a higher intellect, they will simply hurl themselves into battle, heedless of the risks involved.{{Fn|20c}} To be in the presence of a Bloodletter is to experience new heights of religious ecstasy for a follower of Khorne. To fight alongside them is enough to drive many warriors to a deranged euphoria that results in permanent insanity. Bloodletters almost exclusively wield blood-drinking blades called [[Hellblade]]s. These blades present their one source of pleasure, allowing them to hack into mortal flesh.{{Fn|20c}} Bloodletters are also known as the ''Naked Slayers'', the ''Teeth of Death'' and the ''Horned Ones''. Sub-types of Bloodletters include [[Bloodmaster]]s.
*[[Flesh Hound]]s (''Kha'a'a Khak'hyshk''{{fn|18d}})
**The [[Daemon|Daemon Beast]]s of Khorne are the monstrous and ferocious vaguely-canine creatures notorious for their ability to track down their chosen prey by tracking the psychic spoor of their victims.{{Fn|20d}} They are also known as '''Hunters of Blood''' and have claws to rend their foes apart once they catch them. They exist for the sheer thrill of the chase and the inevitable kill.{{fn|30b}} By some accounts, the Flesh Hounds were loosed against cowardly warriors who killed the weak and unworthy.{{Cite ThisCME}}
*[[Juggernaut]]s (''Kha'a'a Akh'h''{{fn|18e}})
**Daemonic steeds of Khorne, sometimes granted to Champions of Khorne as mounts. Huge beasts made from living daemonic metal, it roughly resembles a gigantic rhinoceros. These beasts, being amongst Khorne's most savage and belligerent daemons, are kept in pens where they tend to fight for dominance amongst themselves. However, a particularly favoured mortal or daemonic champion will sometimes attempt to claim one as a mount. This is no easy task, and the smashed remnants of the unlucky ones are left smeared around the Juggernauts' pens, but a few are successful and subdue one, receiving the boon of being its master and riding it into battle.{{Fn|20e}}
