Greater Daemon
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
(Redirected from Greater Daemons)
Greater Daemons are a classification of Daemons.[1]
Overview
Greater Daemons are the most powerful of the Chaos Gods' servants and are reflections of their patron Gods. They act as wardens of their patron's realm and have authority over the Lesser Daemons of their respective God. It is often they who lead Daemonic Incursion. Such is their might that they cannot simply be summoned like Lesser Daemons. A greater Daemon needs to possess a living body in order to manifest itself.[1]
