| A '''dæmon''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|d|iː|m|ən}}) is a type of [[fiction]]al [[being]] in the [[Philip Pullman]] fantasy trilogy ''[[His Dark Materials]]''. Dæmons are the external physical manifestation of a person's "inner-self" that takes the form of an animal. Dæmons have human intelligence, are capable of human speech—regardless of the form they take—and usually behave as though they are independent of their humans. [[Puberty|Pre-pubescent]] children's dæmons can change form voluntarily to become any creature, real or imaginary. During adolescence a person's dæmon undergoes "settling", an event in which that person's dæmon permanently and involuntarily assumes the form of the animal which the person most resembles in character. Dæmons are usually of the opposite sex to their human, though same-sex dæmons do exist. | A '''dæmon''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|d|iː|m|ən}}) is a type of [[fiction]]al [[being]] in the [[Philip Pullman]] [[fantasy]] [[trilogy]] ''[[His Dark Materials]]''.

| Dæmons frequently interact with each other in ways that mirror the behaviour of their humans, such as fighting one another when their humans are fighting, or nuzzling one another when their humans embrace, and such contact is seen as normal. However, for a human to touch another person's dæmon is taboo. | Dæmons frequently interact with each other in ways that mirror the behaviour of their humans, such as fighting one another when their humans are fighting, or nuzzling one another when their humans embrace, and such contact is seen as normal.
