	The Book of Ezekiel describes God's palanquin being carried by four ''super'' freaky monsters — 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]].

	'''Angels''' are spiritual beings believed to serve [[god\|various deities]]. Although their name comes from the Greek word for "Messenger", their association with the Abrahamic religions in the real world means that the standard perception of angels is as supernatural spirit-beings allied to Good, who stand in opposition to fiends such as [[demon]]s and [[devil]]s. Actual use of the ''term'' "Angel" can be seen as rather taboo due to various unpleasant attitudes and views towards real-life religions, so sometimes ''Celestial'' is preferred as a less-loaded moniker.

	Angelic [[monstergirls]] sit in a weird nebulous position between being entry-level to the fetish and being deep into the fetish. Whilst they rarely if ever look "monstrous" - most appear as just beautiful human women with odd markings, weird coloration for the skin/hair/eyes, wings, or any combination thereof - their religious connotations makes the idea of sexualizing them rather uncomfortable for some individuals. For others, that tinge of blasphemy just makes it more appealing - besides, [[aasimar]] have to come from somewhere, and saying it's all due to sinful mortal women tempting angelic men is the kind of shit that started going out of fashion in the 70s.

	Angelic monstergirls are usually demure, sweet, understanding, and place far more emphasis on romance over sex. Japanese takes, however, can be much more slutty, in no small part because the fact they were never Christianized means they have no particular reverence for angels. A perfect example of this is Naniel, the angel from [[Queen's Blade]] who wants to use her time in the mortal realm to build the biggest reverse harem of sexy men that she can.

			==[[Yugioh]]==
			Yugioh has Angels one of its types of monsters, though the English localization called them fairies instead even though a number of them have the word "angel" in their name. Most of them are Light attribute monsters but there are angels for the other attributes as well. Many angels are designed like modern depictions of angels, though a number like the Arcana Force archtype look much weirder.
