Angels, according to the mythology of many species, were spiritual beings that served 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" (TV: The Mutants), Light (TV: Ghost Light) and the Weeping Angels. (TV: Blink) The Heavenly Hosts, robots designed by Max Capricorn, resembled angels by deliberate design. (TV: Voyage of the Damned)
