====[[Eye of the Abyss]]==== Well, to be specific, the daemon that the Eye of the Abyss was ''previously''. Maybe. The Daemon is described in the ''Creatures Anathema'' supplement book for the ''Dark Heresy'' game. Long ago there was some great daemonic power in Hazeroth that got shattered somehow, its death creating great-warp storms that ravaged entire planets. However, a single fragment of the entity, having lost pretty much all its power and everything that it previously was, ended up attaching itself to a lost derelict ship in the warp, and after assimilating the dead crew's and the machine spirit's memories along with the ship's technology, became a new daemon lord in the shape of a warship that attacks ships travelling through the Warp near Hazeroth. Admittedly, it is '''very''' ambiguous if this thing was a potential Chaos God, but what is certain is that it was far stronger than any normal Greater Demon. It is made clear in the entry about this daemon that this single fragment is '''no where''' near the same level of strength as its previous incarnation(which makes one wonder how the hell it died, but whatever), and that this new ship form is a "stranger, lesser power". While the Eye of the Abyss is consistently described as a daemon lord(which is basically just another way of saying a particularly notable Greater Daemon(get it, because generally, barring Daemon Primarchs, Greater Demons are above Daemon Princes in both power and rank)), the daemon it was before is only described as "a mighty daemonic power" or just a "daemon". As already mentioned, the death of the previous entity created entire huge warp storms that ruined entire worlds, which is not something you hear happens when a Greater Daemon dies. Furthermore, this single fragment, without most of its original power, is still capable enough to leave the warp: yes, if a ship it's preying on leaves the warp, the Eye of the Abyss can manifest itself and ''follow it'' into the Materium. Admittedly, it can only stay in the Materium for a few hours, but other Greater Daemons require huge sacrificial rituals or the aid of their patron God to enter real-space, and the Eye of the Abyss can do it all by itself with only a tiny fragment of its original power. The ship is also mentioned of having its own "court" of lesser warp-entities that hang around on its hull, similar to Chaos Gods and their own daemons, with the greater entities being giant cannon-daemons and thick-limbed hurlers several hundred meters high that launch or vomit warp matter as ammo, and thousands of lesser entities in hundreds of different forms that act as the crew when they aren't killing or fucking eachother. Oh, and that warp matter ammo the ship and cannon daemons use? Once that hits a targeted ship, that stuff become "munition daemons", short-lived manifested daemons that gleefully destroy all they can before they disappear from existence. Neither it nor its crew is stated or even hinted to belong to any of the known Chaos Gods. And though it is definitely ambiguous if that original daemonic power could have been considered something close to a potential Ruinous Power(especially without any worship), what is almost certain is that it definitely wasn't any normal Greater Daemon.
