Bloodthirsters are the Greater Daemons of Khorne, serving as the generals of the Blood God's armies.
Like all Chaos Daemons, Bloodthirsters originate from the Warp, manifested from Khorne's will in a similar manner to their lesser Bloodletter subordinates. An average Bloodthirster stands several stories in height and features a pair of wings, enabling it the ability to fly. They rarely, if ever, demonstrate any emotional capacity outside of uncontrollable rage and have often boasted immense physical strength, usually through the use of a ginormous axe. For these factors, as well as their reputation, Bloodthirsters are considered possibly the most dangerous Warp entities to have entered the material universe.
Bloodthirsters are manifestations of Khorne's rage, and so are compelled to inflict mass death and destruction wherever they go. As a Greater Daemon, Bloodthirsters are very difficult to summon into realspace, often requiring a significant offering such as a mass blood sacrifice. Even then, the Bloodthirster would require a constant intake of Chaos energies to maintain its physical form. Otherwise, immense firepower or Warp-nullifying capabilities are essential to any and all forces who would challenge a Bloodthirster.
