See also Angel (disambiguation).

Angels, according to the mythology of many species, are spiritual beings that serve God as his messengers.

Popular Earth depictions of angels often presented them as beautiful Humans with halos and/or wings, not unlike Solonians in their "evolved form" (DW: The Mutants), Light (DW: Ghost Light) and the Weeping Angels. (DW: Blink) The Heavenly Hosts, robots designed by Max Capricorn, resembled angels by deliberate design. (DW: Voyage of the Damned)
