From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The term Daemon has several meanings:
3. The concept from the Philip Pullman trilogy of novels His Dark Materials, describes a fictional world where everyone has a daemon, although he spells it 'Dæmon'. This takes the form of an animal, which has a separate identity even though it is an integral part of a person in that world; a physical manifestation of their soul. Children's dæmons have no fixed form, but as children reach puberty their dæmons take a form reflective of the person's personality. This concept is sometimes referred to as a "Familiar."
