Editing Angel (section)

==Source Material==
Like most supernatural things, the Bible actually skips past the details of angels to get back to the humans doing stupid and shortsighted human things. Much of the time angels are disguised as humans so they can go about their jobs unmolested (literally, it was a pretty big danger in [[Commorragh|Sodom]]). When they shed their disguises, the humans are invariably [[Sanity|freaked out of their minds and would probably flee in terror]] if the angels didn't tell them "Fear not."

The Book of Ezekiel describes God's palanquin being carried by four ''super'' freaky monsters &mdash; while never called "angels" they're generally assumed as such. They put [[shoggoth]]s to shame, covered in human and animal heads, extra pairs of wings, bronze skin, and were on fire. Each of them was followed by a geometry-defying wheel machine covered in eyeballs (see above) that [[Lich|housed their souls for safe-keeping]]. This depiction was only ever prescribed by someone who admitted it was a vision of the future. Nonetheless in the last couple years this became ingrained and even meme'd as the "true" form of angels.

But don't fall for the meme. At multiple instances throughout different books and revisions, Angels are described as winged human-like beings. So they do in fact excel in the "Be not afraid" department. That, plus the fact that the Bible has a tendency to shrug off any fantastical detail as they would rather talk about Joe the Farmer who's been questionning God and how much punishment the big guy above is going to inflict on him if he doesn't keep on being faithful. Hell, demons don't even get a description, and [[Four Horsemen|some barely even get a mention]]. Angels really are lucky in there. 

Also bear this in mind; over centuries, multiple stories and myths were omitted from the Bible in favor of preaching the good Christian word. Meaning that there is plenty of material that was just scrapped. Don't get yourself too excited however, most of these lost texts were effectively purged and most of them borrowed elements from different mythologies, if not [[Norse Mythology|twisted them to the point of completely altering our understanding and comprehension of the original works]].

Other angels are described as "dragons." [[Demon|Guess what happened to them]].
