I've never heard of daemons outside a programming context
They were divine beings above humans and below gods, they're probably the main inspiration for both angels and demons in Christianity
They were demons but with a funny æ
Nope, daemon is just the Latin spelling. Sometimes we use it nowadays for fun to mean different things.
In religious studies, daemon or daimon is used to refer to pre Christian supernatural beings as I said. There's a huge difference between beings that may or may not be evil vs demons who are generally regarded as evil by definition. Demons got their name from daimons, but they're not fully equivalent.
What game is that?
WarCraft 1, very fun.
Stop poking meeeeee!
Cool. Looks fun. Thanks.
Warcraft
They appear in Warhammer a fair bit.
I recently read it in a book. It was used for an evolved human form. That was my first time seeing it other than programming too
