| - They later appear as game constructs in the Land of Wrath and Angels, where Eridan proceeds to insist on killing them all. They can endure remarkable amounts of damage, able to survive up to a minute of sustained fire from Ahab's Crosshairs before dying, and don't drop any Grist, possibly indicating that they were not meant to be fought. It is likely that Eridan's dancestor Cronus Ampora also had angels on his planet; Aranea said that at one point Cronus 8ecame convinced he was hatched to defeat an extraordinarily evil magician, one he swore the angels foretold of, and the angels she talked about are presumably game constructs like those on Eridan's planet. Doc Scratch, while talking to Rose, once mentioned Eridan, asking "What would you say if I said a vengeful boy on a path of nihilism was taken under the wing of fearsome angels, and learned to destroy hope with their light?" This suggests that Eridan's later "scientific" abilities and murderous breakdown were caused by his interactions with the angels; this parallels how Doc Scratch implied the Horrorterrors influenced Rose. Angels, thus, may even have an insidious influence similar or complementary to that of the Horrorterrors, though the lack of attention paid to them by the plot makes this uncertain. The Angels told Eridan a prophecy of the "Lord of Angels," and Eridan assumes this was referring to Jack Noir. Considering the cherubs in Aranea Serket's story had large angel like wings, and Kurloz Makara's mentioning of "angels of double death" in reference to cherubs, it's very possible that Eridan was incorrect and this prophecy actually referred to the cherubs, likely [[Lord English|LFile:EnglishO.gifrd English]] himself.
