Greater Daemon
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
(Redirected from Greater Daemons)
Greater Daemons are a classification of Daemons.[1a]
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.[1a] Chaos Undivided also has Greater Daemons as well, though their forms are not similar in appearance like those that are reflections of the Chaos Gods.[14] Such is their might that Greater Daemons cannot simply be summoned like Lesser Daemons. Instead they need to possess a living body in order to manifest into Realspace.[1a]

Thus far only a single type of Greater Daemon is known for each Chaos God. These include:[1a]
