Daemon Decider

"What's your daemon?"

A single-page quiz inspired by His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman that reveals the form of your daemon — the living companion of your soul.

About

In Pullman's world, every person has a daemon: a physical manifestation of their inner self that appears as an animal. The form a daemon takes is deeply significant — it reflects everything the person is inside, and the bond between a person and their daemon is absolute and inseparable.

This quiz asks 10 questions designed to tease out archetypes that map onto eight possible daemon forms:

Daemon	Archetype
🦁 Lion	Strength, leadership, untamed spirit
🦅 Eagle	Vision, freedom, rare perspective
🐆 Black Panther	Quiet power, mystery, stealth
🦉 Owl	Ancient wisdom, patience, observation
🦡 Badger	Resilience, independence, determination
🦊 Fox	Cleverness, adaptability, survival
🐍 Snake	Transformation, change, evolution
🐱 Cat	Gentleness, empathy, quiet fortitude

Design

The aesthetic is inspired by the northern atmosphere of Northern Lights — dark backgrounds, aurora borealis-like animations, and gold accents drawn from the alethiometer's needle and dials.
