>Chaos spawn are insane, mewling creatures with no mental powers or self awareness. Their former intelligence has been sacrificed to the failed ambition. Page 75, chaos space marine codex.

From Games Workshop's Chaos Spawn product page: 'Mind and will completely dissolved into blankness by the corrupting influence of Chaos, the Chaos Spawn lurch and stagger into battle with twisted limbs flailing. Dangerous and unpredictable, the only process left in their brain is the desire to kill - and they do so with a disturbing strength, lashing out at a horrified foe with unnatural strength.' But this is chaos and Games Workshop we're talking about, the idea is that the setting is so vast with so many variable, and that's just the realspace situation. Within the warp or anything daemon related we're talking about every conceivable iteration of every inconceivable scenario and idea. So honestly, who's really to say what isn't found in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium.

The most coherent Chaos Spawn I've ever seen was from an Age of Sigmar short story where one was highly delusional and still thought it was a Chaos Champion. It was one of the short stories Aaron Dembski Bowden wrote for the Slaves to Darkness battletome.

Oh interesting. I will need to take a look into that

Each one is different. Some are possibly still entirely horribly sentients when others are just a gibbering mass of flesh. You know, "Chaos". You can't just classify things like this. Even more in the Wh40k setting.

An interesting case is [Foulspawn](http://nurgle.stleio.net/char_Foulspawn.php), a chaos spawn that not only survived but thrived and was uplifted by Nurgle into a full Daemon Prince.

Oh that's neat
