Daemonic Possession

Chaos Portal

Daemonic Possession is the act of the essence of a Daemon possessing and controlling the body of another being. As Daemons can only exist in the Materium for a limited period before being forced back into the Warp, Daemonic Possession is one of the most common methods for Daemons to enter the material realm. Daemonic Possession can occur involuntarily to those of psychic potential, but the host sometimes willingly gives themselves over to Daemonic Possession, as is the case with Possessed Chaos Space Marines and certain Cultists. Possessed individuals can often be used as gateways to the Warp, allowing Daemons to spill into the Materium.^[1][2]
