== Possible reason why Tzeentch daemons are birdlike ==
They change constantly - they are daemons of ''change'' after all - but when they're not changing, they're birdlike, with beaks and feathers.

My guess is that birds, corvidae specifically, symbolise wisdom and intelligence. More importantly, bird brains are goddamn advanced, the only thing holding them back from superintelligence is small size.

Modern human has 8.6*10e10 (860000000000) neurons in whole body, ~1.5*10e14 synapses in whole body, and 16340000000 to 21000000000 neurons in cortex, with brain mass of 1200-1400 grams. 15000000 to 17500000 neurons per gram. Raven is comparable to primates intellect-wise, has 2.171*10e9 neurons in entire body and 1204000000 neurons in brain, with brain mass of 5-10 grams. 60200000 to 150500000 neurons per gram; 3.44 to 4 to 8.6 to 10.0(3) times more neurons per gram depending on how you count it. Raven is dumber than human, but raven's brain is more advanced than human.

Now imagine a brain as large as human's and as advanced as raven's - it would have about 72240000000 to 210700000000 neurons. Many would literally sell their soul to get that smart.

That's exactly why those individuals obsessed with superintelligence, if given advanced technology, would either graft bird neurons onto their brain or alter their brain to make it as efficient per-gram as bird brain. Which would likely then distort their sense of style and beauty, e.g. "i think i would look better with a good-sized beak". And most tzeench cultists ''are'' obsessed with sorcery and intelligence. It suddenly makes sense. --[[User:JOKTWWEJK|JOKTWWEJK]] ([[User talk:JOKTWWEJK|talk]]) 20:34, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
