Daemons

Daemons (ダイモーン, Daimon), are beings who have been effected by the Daemonblight from the Scarlet Night event of the Tales of RWBY. One factor which effects the if the output of a being is set to remain or become a daemon is malevolence, the type of darkness in a being's heart and is often seen as a dark shade of purple in the form of bubbles being emitted of species such as humans or Faunus.

Like Malakhims, daemons do not have a set form. Some appear as completely enveloped beasts and others appear as their original form before becoming one, as well as retaining their sense of reason.

There are humans who have not become daemons but have the like of their powers residing within them. This causes those with visible changes to be shunned by the outside society and leaving them to be tormented or thrown into prison such as Titania, specifically built for the capture of daemons.
