Line 341:
** He's justified in trying to kill them, though: Troll mythology describes angels as feathery ''bringers of the apocalypse''.
* [[Catena]] (see http://catenamanor.com/) by DeBray and Tracy Baily have angels. They're cats.
* The Paedagogusi in ''[[Errant Story]]'' more or less fit the angel role, by any other name... while they look (and occasionally act) like fairies... and they're ''different'', all right.
* In ''[[BIBLE]]'', angels are the souls of the virtuous gone to heaven (and ''act'' like real people, believe me). Note that heaven accepts souls from every planet in the universe, so angels are mostly aliens united only in ownership of wings and a halo. They can be temporarily banished for committing crimes against Heaven (fallen angels), or leave entirely and become known as devils.
** There are also cherubim, which are native to heaven, have no souls, and were created by [[Archangel Michael|Mikael]] as [[Cannon Fodder]].
* ''[[Order of the Stick]]'' shows us two angel characters during Roy's stint in the afterlife, both based on D&D celestials. The bureaucratic deva is a green-skinned traditional angel, but solely interested in filling out the paperwork necessary to process souls to their final rest. The aptly-named Roy's Archon is a tiny ball of glowing light provided to Roy as a guide during his stay.
* ''Dangerously Chloe'' had "angel hit squad" mentioned by Chloe's teacher Ilsa. When they actually appear on-screen, they are overpowered, overconfident and under-competent. Most hate demons to the point of laughable rants for no specific reason (though one is in an undecisive [[Secret Relationship]] with an adventurous succubus). They also treat humans like pets: it's entirely acceptable to kidnap a "suspicious" puppy or a human who happens to see through their disguise, or to run around someone's house even if hosts object, and if one probably mistaken some cheerleader for a succubus, it's not seen as a possible problem by more experienced ones - even if she have a habit of brandishing a flaming sword. And if they "arrest" a wrong demon, a few dozen years of incarceration while they sort out their bureaucracy is no big deal.
