A daemon is a manifestation of a person's soul in the Philip Pullman trilogy His Dark Materials. In those universes with physical daemons, they exist external to the human in the form of animals representative of the person's personality, although children's daemons may change form at whim. The bond between daemon and human is intimate, and daemons must remain within a small distance of their human (with the exception of witches and shamans); contact between a person and another person's daemon is taboo, although daemons may touch each other. Many characteristics of a daemon match the concepts from other cultures or psychology. A daemon is part of its human's soul; it can talk and express their shared conscience. A child's daemon can shape-shift because of the child's potential, but an adult's daemon is fixed in one form representing their personality.
