could a xenos who serves chaos well become a daemon prince or that just reserved for humans?

I think it would be entirely possible. There is quite a lot of fluff about various xeno races which worship the various aspects and powers of chaos, so there is precedence of chaos in xenos.

Why not? Pretty sure Iv at least seen khorne worshipping orcs in some codex so I think its possible.

It's completely possible and the fact that there are no Eldar, Squat, or other "psychic" races Daemon Princes is mostly a plothole that makes sense on tabletop but should be addressed in fluff.

so in fluff its possible for say orks to become daemon princes eh?...i wonder what would they look like?

Not really. Orks aren't particularly influenced by Chaos, so an Ork working enough for Chaos to earn daemonhood is pretty unlikely.

Well Orks have their own Gods, so that makes it highly unlikely. Gork/Mork act as substitutes to the Chaos Gods for the Orks, while the Eldar really lack any Gods anymore besides Khaine who is less then helpful.

I'm surprised there aren't Eldar Daemon Princes though, especially from the period before the Fall. No reason there can't be ones for Khorne, Nurgle, or Tzeentch. It'd even guarantee them protection from Slaanesh.

werent there chaos eldar in the earlier codex editions?

The reason there don't seem to be Eldar Daemon Princes...Is that Slaanesh tends to eat Eldar souls when they're exposed to Chaos.

Yes. If I recall correctly they are rare but some of the more powerful followers of Chaos.

I've no idea if the other Chaos Gods can actually protect one from Slaanesh though. They might have to fight over it, like with Khaine.

They might...in Dawn of War II: Retribution's Eldar campaign Kyras mentions to the Alaitocii that if they die in the exterminatus their souls will be consumed by Khorne rather than by Slaanesh...and in any case, any Champion of Chaos, regardless of race, can become a Daemon Prince.
