Interestingly, most of them are based on the [[Seven Deadly Sins]].
* Angels of the black variety in ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' tend to be these, starting with the first, aptly named, [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=1437 Fallen Angel].

=== Tabletop RPG ===
* The demons in ''[[In Nomine]]''. Also, angels can fall and become demons by violating their angelic nature. (Except for Malakim.) <ref>Though demons originated as fallen angels most demons in the setting's "present day" were never angels but were created as demons.</ref>
* The demons of White Wolf's ''[[Demon: The Fallen]]''.
* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]''
** In the 3.5 Edition <ref>Specifically in ''Tyrants of the Nine Hells''</ref> The ''original'' Erinyes fell from Heaven. Their descendants in the present day are the only devils who are actually born, and not created. They definitely look the part, being attractive, black feather-winged beings. They are a race of deceivers, [[Horny Devils]] who lead followers of [[Saintly Church|good religons]] away from their faith. In ''4th Edition'', all devils from the generic setting are fallen angels, who backed Asmodeus' overthrow of their patron deity.
** Asmodeus is almost always this too, along with many of the older Archdevils, including Dispater, Mammon, and Moloch, his underlings who fell with him. Baalzebul too, but he fell later. The 5th Edition adds Zariel to this list.
** The 4th Edition expands this, sayin Baator was once a utopian paradise before Asmodeus double crossed the benevolent deity who ruled it and slew him. Baator is now Asmodeus' domain, meaning ''Hell itself'' could fall into this Trope.
** In ''[[Planescape]]'' this is a common theory regarding the origins of the Lady of Pain, although there are just as many theories claiming she is an [[Ascended Demon]].
* In ''[[Infernum]]'', demonkind are descended from the First Fallen's [[But You Screw One Goat!|mating with spawn]]. Newly Fallen angels in the present day tend to die very quickly; the survivors become worse than demons.
