	~~The creatures~~, ~~simply called the Daemoni~~ for ~~short, are from somewhere in the realm between planes~~. ~~They exist naturally in a~~ state of ~~nothingness~~, the ~~space between realms devoid~~ of ~~all natural sources of energy and light~~. ~~As such~~ they ~~crave it but cannot die without it. They exist but~~ do ~~not exist at the same time~~ and ~~when the veil between realms gets thin they may notice~~ and ~~tear through~~ the ~~barriers between planes seek out energy to feed from~~.		== Physical Appearance ==
			Daemoni are ethereal beings, taking form only when necessary for feeding or defense. In their natural state, they resemble swirling vortexes of dark energy, giving the impression of a sentient shadow. When they do take physical form, their shape is often grotesque and terrifying, in accordance with their victim's deepest fears. Their forms are mutable and rarely consistent, sometimes bearing multiple eyes, claws, or monstrous appendages. Despite their terrifying visage, the Daemoni have no true physical body, their form merely a projection that their victims perceive.

	They ~~run~~ on ~~hatred~~ and ~~anger~~, ~~all living~~ and ~~nonliving things that exist in any sort~~ of ~~light or power (even~~ other ~~demonic entities not~~ from ~~their unique realm) are an affront to~~ them. ~~They ally~~ with ~~no one but themselves~~. ~~They are constantly hungry for more~~, ~~more energy~~, ~~more light~~, ~~more power~~, ~~more light~~. ~~When they come they come in force~~, as ~~many as~~ can ~~come~~ through to a ~~particular place at once~~.		== Special Abilities ==
			The Daemoni possess an array of dangerous abilities designed to manipulate, weaken, and ultimately consume their victims. Here are the primary abilities known to be wielded by these creatures:
			; Emotion Inducement: Daemoni can trigger powerful emotions in their victims, most commonly fear, paranoia, and panic. This allows them to destabilize their prey and create an environment of chaos and discord, which fuels their power and allows them to feed more effectively.
			; Energy Drain: One of the most potent abilities of the Daemoni is their capacity to drain energy from living and nonliving entities alike. They can draw on magical and psionic energies, life force, physical strength, and even the raw energy of other demons, feeding on it to grow stronger. They can execute this drain from a distance, making them formidable opponents. However, they are incapable of draining Shadow Energy or certain forms of blood magic energy that align with it.
			; Ethereal Echoes: Daemoni have the power to evoke haunting manifestations from their victims' pasts. By tapping into the emotional energy of their prey, they can create vivid, spectral images of painful memories, personal losses, or regret-filled events. These phantasmal echoes serve to disorient and emotionally drain their victims, exacerbating feelings of fear and despair, which the Daemoni can then feed upon. It's a cruel psychological torment, echoing the darkest chapters of one's life, making them relive their most painful moments, all while their energy is being drained away.
			; Insubstantiality: Daemoni exist naturally as nonphysical entities and can become intangible at will. In this state, physical attacks pass right through them without causing harm. They can take on physical form when required, but doing so makes them vulnerable to physical attacks.
			; Fear Projection: By absorbing a sufficient amount of energy, Daemoni gain the ability to manifest as the worst fears of their victims. This "Worst Nightmare" ability is a powerful psychological weapon, sowing fear and confusion, and often causing their prey to act rashly or make mistakes. This form is not their true one and serves to further their goal of instilling fear and panic.

	== ~~Feeding~~ ==		== Behavior and Social Structure ==
	~~They feed on all forms of energy~~, ~~but they enjoy violence~~, ~~rage~~, fear, and ~~hate most~~. ~~Any time they can induce someone~~ to ~~attack them first it is~~ a ~~pleasure to them and~~ they ~~rarely commit themselves to an~~ attack ~~unless they~~ are ~~required to. They feed easiest on the [[Magical Energy\|magical]] or [[Psionic Energy\|psionic energy]] from living things. However~~, ~~they also feed on life itself~~, ~~the raw Aether that keeps mortals and other beings alive. They also feed on physical strength and stamina, but only if they can come in physical contact and~~ they ~~will not do so unless they must~~, ~~usually as a way to provoke someone into using their magical~~ or ~~[[Psionic Abilities\|psionic abilities]] to defend themselves~~.		The Daemoni, being fundamentally anti-social, lack a conventional social structure. There are no leaders, no hierarchies. Each Daemoni is driven by its insatiable hunger for energy and the thrill of inducing fear and panic. They are not known to communicate with each other, instead appearing to operate on a primal understanding or shared instinct when they attack in groups. The Daemoni are loners, despising even their own kind, yet they coalesce when hunting, driven by mutual benefit rather than any sense of kinship or cooperation.

	~~Failing drawing off of those forms of energy it will draw of the energy of another [[demon]] just as easily, the intense hatred of a demon from the [[Severed Realm]] is food~~ to ~~them~~, ~~though it doesn't taste as sweet to them as killing~~ a ~~mortal~~. However, they ~~cannot feed off~~ of ~~Shadow Energy, which~~ is ~~the inverse of life~~. ~~This anti-life energy found in a place like~~ the ~~[[Shadow Realm]]~~, is ~~distasteful~~ and ~~hurtful to them. Thus they cannot consume it~~.		== Interaction with Other Realms ==
			The Daemoni are largely confined to their ethereal realm, where they exist in a state of semi-being. However, they possess a keen sense of when the veil between realms is thinning and can exploit these moments to cross into other planes. When they manage to breach the barriers, their goal is always the same: to feast on energy and induce as much fear and chaos as possible.

	~~== Tactics ==~~		Daemoni interactions with other planes are mostly adversarial due to their parasitic nature. Their unique ability to feed on almost any form of energy makes them universally feared and reviled. They pose a particularly serious threat to realms rich in magical or [[Psionic Energy\|psionic energy]], where their feeding frenzies can result in mass devastation.
	~~They attack in groups, preferring~~ to ~~encircle~~ their ~~prey and use their abilities~~ to ~~force a confrontation then~~ feed ~~off of the attacks of their prey until finally they suck the life-force right out~~ of ~~their victim~~ and ~~move on~~. They ~~can be patient, if forced~~ to, ~~but would prefer a quick-fix and feed rather than to sit and wait~~.

	== ~~Abilities~~ ==		== Weaknesses ==
	* Induce Emotions		As creatures of [[The Void\|the void]], Daemoni despise and are hurt by Shadow Energy and certain forms of blood magic that follow the same principles. While they can manifest a physical form, doing so makes them vulnerable to physical attacks. This is a risk they are usually unwilling to take unless forced to. Their voracious hunger for energy, while a driver for their devastating attacks, can also be their downfall; if starved of energy for long enough, Daemoni can become weakened and potentially banished back to their realm.
	** Fear
	** Paranoia		== Cultural Impact ==
	** Panic		Despite their disdain for physical existence, the Daemoni have made a significant impact on the cultures of various planes. They are often represented as embodiments of fear and greed in folktales and legends, serving as cautionary figures against excessive desire for power and the chaos it can bring. They also feature prominently in the teachings of magical and psionic disciplines, which often include techniques specifically designed to defend against or repel Daemoni attacks.
	* Drain Energy
	~~: They can drain any form~~ of ~~energy from a distance~~, ~~except shadow energy or~~ certain forms of blood magic ~~energy~~ that follow the same ~~lines~~.		Regardless of the plane or realm, the name "Daemoni" is synonymous with fear, destruction, and insatiable hunger, and their appearance is universally dreaded.
	* Sap Strength
	~~: They~~ can ~~drain strength and stamina from~~ a ~~victim simply by touching~~ them.
	* Insubstantial
	~~: They only take on~~ a ~~physical form if~~ they are ~~required~~ to, ~~otherwise they have no substance~~ and ~~physical attacks do not injure them~~.
	~~: If an attack occurs when they~~ have ~~physical form~~ it ~~will injure them~~.
	* Worst Nightmare
	~~: If they absorb enough energy they are able to take the form~~ of ~~what their victim fears~~ the ~~most~~, ~~making that person see them as~~ the ~~embodiment of that~~ fear.

The creatures, simply called the Daemoni for short, are from somewhere in the realm between planes. They exist naturally in a state of nothingness, the space between realms devoid of all natural sources of energy and light. As such they crave it but cannot die without it. They exist but do not exist at the same time and when the veil between realms gets thin they may notice and tear through the barriers between planes seek out energy to feed from.

They run on hatred and anger, all living and nonliving things that exist in any sort of light or power (even other demonic entities not from their unique realm) are an affront to them. They ally with no one but themselves. They are constantly hungry for more, more energy, more light, more power, more light.
