Daemon/Arch Daemon

Arch Daemons (上位魔将) are, taking the "Lord of Darkness" aside, considered the pinnacle of Daemons. Unofficially confirmed and only existing in a few records, being the evolved form of Greater Daemons, they are considered legendary Monsters to the general public.

Background
Within the sphere of the Western Nations, the common sense regarding Arch Daemons is that it's impossible for a Nameless Daemon to be an Arch Daemon. The only way for Arch Daemons to come into existence is supposedly the case where a strong Greater Daemon gets named, evolving into an Arch Daemon. Hence a common question when dealing with Daemons is "does it have a name?," to ascertain whether the Daemon in question could be an Arch Daemon or not. However, this common belief is completely wrong. The Primordials, for example, have no problems evolving into Arch Daemons even without a name, and likewise any "pre-historic" or "Marquis" Daemons forego any such requirement.

It is also possible for a Greater Daemon to become an Arch Daemon just from "the public" unintentionally naming them based on a legend or tale.

Appearance
Arch Daemons, unlike lesser daemons and most greater daemons, possess an almost entirely human appearance. The only non-human features they possess are the iconic claws, horns, and wings found on all members of the daemon race, although these can easily be hidden at their discretion. Their appearance, like that of all spiritual-lifeforms, is dictated entirely by their self image. They might have been influenced by a body they previously inhabited or developed their own appearance naturally without the influence of other individuals.

Arch Daemons all belong to a specific color lineage, with their color being apparent in their appearance. The color of a daemon's sclera will usually match their lineage and, although not always, other parts of their body match this color as well. Examples include, but are not limited to, hair color, iris color, and skin color. The color of their clothing usually also reflects the color of their lineage.
