Angel: Difference between revisions

'''Angels''' (天使 ''Tenshi'') are a race of divine spirits that act as messengers of the gods in the [[Kid Icarus series]]. The protagonist of the series, [[Pit]], and [[Dark Pit|his dark counterpart]], are currently the only known members of this race. Overall, they seem to be a relatively uncommon race, as [[Palutena]] stated that not all gods have angels as servants<ref>'''Pit''': ''Do all gods have their own angels like you have me?''<br>

With their wings, angels have the natural ability of flight. However, certain defects to their wings can disable them from being able to fly as observed with Pit. Angels do not seem to possess any innate magical abilities, but they can be granted [[powers]] by the gods. They also compensate with raw power, high versatility, nimbleness and amazing endurance. Angels are shown to be incredibly durable, or at least Pit is shown to be. He once fell from hundreds of feet from the air during his fight against [[Hades]], and manages to survive it. The fall did hurt him quite badly, but within minutes he was able to stand right back up and fight again. Angels appear to possess great physical strength, as even [[Magnus]], a human with Herculean strength, is impressed by Pit's power. Due to their divine status, angels are capable of using weapons and vehicles forged by the gods<ref>'''Viridi''': ''All of your weapons have been imbued with the power of the gods.''<br>'''Pit''': ''So are humans able to use them?''<br>'''Viridi''': ''No, but they miss on out a lot.''<br>–Conversation about [[Staff|Staves]] with [[Viridi]] in ''Uprising''.</ref>. They can communicate telepathically with gods with the help of a laurel crown. Angels do have a weakness to fire, as stated by Palutena that angels burn easily like humans do.
